Also interviewed was Kyla Ward. Kyla, apart from being one of the authors of horror novel PRISMATIC, is a longtime horror devotee, writer, poet, filmmaker and artist. She is a member of the horror repertory company Theatre of Blood http://www.thetheatreofblood.com/ Her www.tabula-rasa.info site (with David Carroll) is a goldmine of info on Australian horror writers, comics and films.

The interview features a reading by Kyla from her story "Erina Hearn and the Gods of Death" from the brand spanking new doorstop-sized anthology of Australian horror MACABRE, edited by Dr Marty Young and Angela Challis.
