Hey authors fancy doing something fun for Halloween text in the alt description

Hi
Every Halloween week, Ginger Nuts of Horror likes to do something daft. This year it's the Halloween Author Interrogation: five silly questions sent to a batch of horror writers, with the best answers run together in one piece on Wednesday 28 October. We'd love you to be one of the accused.
There are no wrong answers, only answers your publicist might wince at. Answer as many as you like (three or more is perfect), and keep each one short, anywhere from a sentence to about 100 words.
1. You're allowed to keep one cursed object from horror fiction or film. Which one do you take home, and what everyday job do you put it to?
2. Which horror death would be the most embarrassing to explain to your mum?
3. Your house is haunted, but the ghost only has one complaint about you. What is it?
4. Which horror villain would make the worst flatmate, and what does the first passive-aggressive note you stick on the fridge say?
5. A demon offers to write one scene of your next book in exchange for your soul. Which scene do you hand over, and is it worth it?
Along with your answers, please send:
• A one-line bio
• Your latest or upcoming book, with a link
• An author photo we can use
• Your social handles, so we can tag you when it goes live
The deadline is Friday 16 October. Just reply to this email with your answers.
Thanks for playing along. It should be a lot of fun, and a nice way to get your name and book in front of our readers in the scariest week of the year.
Best wishes,
Jim McLeod
Ginger Nuts of Horror
