In this episode of Quills & Chills, I sit down with writer Will Shindler to discuss his novel 'The Bone Queen.' Will talks about his transition from writing police procedurals to horror, crafting the story of a mother's desperate search for her missing daughter, and creating the chilling setting of Athelsea Island. We explore the emotional core of the story, the complexities of Jenna's character, and the symbolic nature of the Bone Queen herself. Will also teases his next horror project, dealing with themes of men's mental health.
Tune in for an engaging conversation filled with insights into the horror genre and the craft of writing terrifying tales.
