Interview with Michelle Muto
How did you come up
with the idea for your book?
During a trip to Savannah, I visited the Sorrel-Weed house,
which is reported to be Savannah’s most haunted house.
What is different
about this book compared to others you’ve written?
For starters, The Haunting Season is New Adult. Secondly,
the main characters are not supernatural beings.
Most unique or
unusual research you’ve ever done for The Haunting Season?
Besides visiting the Sorrel-Weed house? Asking a former
mortician about embalming methods in the early to mid 1900’s and how embalming
and burial procedures have changed and why. It’s both fascinating and a bit
gruesome.
What is the hardest
part about writing?
Keeping my butt in the chair for as many hours as I need to
per day. Resisting the urge to jump on the internet when I’m having difficulty
with a scene.
If you could meet any
author who is no longer living, who would it be?
Tough call. Edgar Allan Poe, probably. But I’d also like to
meet Rod Serling and Alfred Hitchcock.
It’s a adult dark fantasy novel with action, castles, and
gargoyles. It’ll be out early this
summer.
If you could do one
thing over again in regards to writing, what would it be?
Write faster.
Vanilla or chocolate?
Chocolate.
Food you like the
most? The least?
I tend to like Italian food the most. I can’t stand brussel
sprouts or peas.
Favorite television
show?
Supernatural
What weapon would you
choose in the zombie apocalypse?
Harry Potter’s wand or maybe Dean Winchester. He’d be a
formidable weapon against zombies, right?
What scares you?
Humanity. The way people treat others, animals, or the
environment.
Michelle MutoBe careful what you let in…Siler House has stood silent beneath Savannah’s moss-draped oaks for decades. Notoriously haunted, it has remained empty until college-bound Jess Perry and three of her peers gather to take part in a month-long study on the paranormal. Jess, who talks to ghosts, quickly bonds with her fellow test subjects. One is a girl possessed. Another just wants to forget. The third is a guy who really knows how to turn up the August heat, not to mention Jess’s heart rate…when he’s not resurrecting the dead.The study soon turns into something far more sinister when they discover that Siler House and the dark forces within are determined to keep them forever. In order to escape, Jess and the others will have to open themselves up to the true horror of Siler House and channel the very evil that has welcomed them all.
