Author Armand Rosamilia

 

So Armand, tell us about your works.

My latest release is Tool Shed, a horror novella put out by Angelic Knight Press. It is a story I'd been working on and off for a number of years, but once I changed the POV character and really got into dissecting the plot, it took off for me. I have about 50 releases to date, including the Miami Spy Games thriller/spy series, my Dying Days zombie series, my Keyport Cthulhu series, as well as many more stand-alone tales and appearances in anthologies. I try to keep busy.

What draws you to horror?

I love it. I grew up reading my mother's Stephen King and Dean Koontz paperbacks. I've always loved to be scared, and it is such an honest emotion to me. You can fake the other ones, but fear is the coolest one.

What is your take on the modern horror?

I'm a fan of psychological horror. I was never a big fan of gore for the sake of gore. Don't show me the bloody slavering monster. Hint at him and let me make him the gorssest, craziest thing in my own head. That's why Blair Witch Project worked for me and Hostel didn't.

What's your favorite antagonist in horror stories?

The guy/girl next door. The person you see every day and think they are just your slghtly-off neighbor. Until you find they've been burying bodies down your fence line after having sex with the corpses.

What else do you have coming up that you would like to share?

I am constantly in motion. I have many projects coming up, and some will be arriving before 2012 is over: The Miami Spy Games series has five of the thirteen storeis released, so a few more of those will be out… "Cabal" is the third (of five) Keyport Cthulhu stories you'll see soon… I'm finishing up Dying Days: The Siege of European Village, a novella collaboration with author Tim Baker, and a few more things coming soon…

Thank you for guesting on my blog!
 

No, thank you for having me!

TOOL SHED by Armand Rosamilia (Angelic Knight Press)

When Michael Zaun takes possession of his late grandfather’s farm, he finds out he inherited more than he bargained for. Dubbed the “Tool Shed Murders,” the details of the deaths of two girls on the property and his grandfather’s, seemingly by his own hand, are a little murky. Was his grandfather a monster or a hero?

The discovery of his grandfather’s journal awakens within him a new confidence. But what about the demon his grandfather mentioned? Is it real or just the ranting of a diseased mind?

With the help of his friends, old and new, Michael will find not only the answer to that question, but a new strength within himself.
