What's Your Sub-genre?
There are many sub-genres of Horror; Science Fiction Horror, Body Horror, Cosmic Horror, Supernatural Horror, etc.. Many writers find their niche or what they love and stick almost solely to that.
For me, I got sucked into the world of Erotic Horror well over a decade ago and have mostly stayed there since. I even ran a magazine for a good bit of that time devoted to the sub-genre; Infernal Ink Magazine. That has now shifted into publishing books; Infernal Ink Books.
The whole thing started when a Myspace friend introduced me to concept of Erotic Horror and then went on to start an online magazine devoted to it. That friend later bowed out of the magazine and sold it and as best I can tell completely disappeared from the world of publishing, but the new editor was also a friend and offered me my own column. I basically haven't looked back.
So, what are some of your sub-genres you love to write in or are completely devoted to?
