Korede’s practicality is the sisters’ saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood (bleach, bleach, and more bleach), the best way to move a body (wrap it in sheets like a mummy), and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures to Instagram when she should be mourning her “missing” boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit. **Korede has long been in love with a kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where she works.** She dreams of the day when he will realize that she’s exactly what he needs. But when he asks Korede for Ayoola’s phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and how far she’s willing to go to protect her.

Today I'm joined by author A.M Shilling to talk about her debut novel The Devouring.\\ \\ \\ \\ 1\. I always use this first question as an introduction. Tell us a little about yourself.\\ \\ > I'm an indie author from Maryland writing horror, fantasy, and romance—usually a mix of all three. I've been writing stories since I was a kid, mostly fanfiction, but didn't start writing professionally until 2024. I love books with morally gray characters, themes of monstrosity and humanity, and romances featuring couples who are already committed to each other.\\ \\ 2\. I see you just recently released your debut book, _The Devouring_. Care to tell us a little bit about it?\\ \\ > _The Devouring_ is a cosmic horror thriller about the monsters we choose. It follows Jason, a professional assassin, and his wife Ayana, a doctor who conducts autopsies, as they investigate his brother's murder and an impossible illness she found in her cadavers. Along the way, they uncover an occult conspiracy at the heart of their city—and the malevolent god lurking beyond its veil. It is told from the perspective of the story's villains, unreliable narrators with questionable morals.\\ \\ 3\. What was your inspiration when writing it? Any specific novels or movies that helped inspire this book?\\ \\ > I wrote _The Devouring_ as a homage to the cosmic horror genre and was specifically inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft, one of the genre's original authors. In particular, his short story "The Colour Out of Space" is a huge influence on _The Devouring_. Additionally, I'm a big fan of action thrillers like the _John Wick_ movies. I wanted to blend the existential dread of cosmic horror with the fast pace, high stakes, and criminal underworld of that franchise. Finally, I took a small amount of inspiration from the Delta Green tabletop RPG, which depicts a secret government agency that fights eldritch horrors.\\ \\ 4\. If your novel ever became a movie, who would your dream cast be?\\ \\ > I struggle a lot with dream casts and took a long time coming up with the answer for this question, but I settled on Lewis Tan for Jason and Tahirah Sharif for Ayana. As a bonus, my dream director is Denis Villeneuve, and I would love for Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to make the soundtrack.\\ \\ 5\. Are you working on any other projects at the moment?\\ \\ > I am! My main WIP is a romantic space fantasy called _Crucible of the Broken Moon_, the first book of a duology. It's about a princess who runs away from her home planet and arranges her own marriage to a warlord's son so that they can overthrow her tyrannical father. I also have a couple of WIPs simmering on the back burner: a vampire novella that I'm not sure I'll publish, a werewolf horrormance inspired by the _Midsommar_ movie and an urban fantasy about a secret society of mages.\\ \\ 6\. What are some of your favorite books?\\ \\ > My favorites change as my tastes do, so right now they are _Spread Me_ by Sarah Gailey, _The Course of Honour_ by Lindsey Davis, and _My Sister, the Serial Killer_ by Oyinkan Braithwaite. Honorable mentions go to _Annihilation_ by Jeff VanderMeer and _There Is No Antimemetics Division_ by qntm.\\ \\ 7\. Any upcoming releases you are excited about?\\ \\ > _Fabulous Bodies_ by Chuck Tingle, _At Your Pace_ by Hope Engel, and _A Plagued Sea_ by Kim Bo-young are my top three right now.\\ \\ 8\. What are some of your favorite horror movies?\\ \\ > _Alien_ is my favorite horror movie of all time. I also recently enjoyed _Nosferatu_ and _Sinners_. I don't watch nearly as many horror movies as I read horror books, though; I'm a big baby when it comes to film and TV.\\ \\ 9\. Do you have a writing process? Any routines or rituals you do to help you focus?\\ \\ > I try to write 500 words every day, with a 1-2 day break every week. I especially like to do writing sprints using the Pomodoro Technique—25 minutes focused writing, 5 minutes short break, repeat. Most important, though, is making sure I balance writing with other activities, like reading or playing video games, to avoid burnout.\\ \\ 10\. Who are some of your favorite authors?\\ \\ > Chuck Tingle, Kevin Kwan, Hailey Piper, Paisley Rose, Mimi Matthews, Emily Klotz, and Junji Ito, to name a few.\\ \\ Join for free or login](https://ashreadshorror.binderybooks.com/item/PR4zaaaKp0Sh5tRCxhLZ/) [AUTHOR INTERVIEW: A.M.
