Watch horror comedy author Jeff Strand being interviewed by the Drinking With Authors Podcast.

“I self-identify as a horror writer who puts lots of jokes in the books.”

Horror comedy novelist Jeff Strand is the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of more than 50 books, including Demonic, Blister, Autumn Bleeds Into Winter, and Dweller. He won the Bram Stoker Award in 2022 in the long fiction category for his novella Twentieth Anniversary Screening. He was also a contributor to the two innovative books Draculas: A Novel of Terror (along with Blake Crouch, J.A. Konrath, and F. Paul Wilson) and Blood Lite: An Anthology of Humorous Horror Stories Presented by the Horror Writers Association.

In the video below, the hosts of the Drinking With Authors podcast interviewed Strand. Asked to describe his writing, he explains, “If I’m forced to pin it down to one word I say ‘horror,’ but it’s horror with generally lots of humor. I’m kind of known as ‘the horror comedy guy’ and a lot of horror-thriller type stuff. But generally I self-identify as a horror writer who puts lots of jokes in the books.”
