GINGER SNAPS: BRIANNA MALOTKE

Tell us:


Who are you?

Brianna Malotke – mainly a horror poetry and fiction writer.

Your signature style:

I’m not sure that I have a signature style just yet. But for horror writing, I do lean towards writing pieces with female killers and more body horror pieces.

Toot your own horn:

I recently turned in my completed manuscript! My debut horror poetry collection, inspired by deadly fashions, will be released this summer (2023) with Green Avenue Books!

Books read:

This past month I’ve read Dracula’s Child, Meant to Be (not horror), and Holiday Leftovers.

Movies watched:

I think this past month I’ve only watched Dracula (the 90s version). I’ve been playing catch-up on tv shows and have barely made a dent.

Games and/or music played:

A lot of MCR and Fall Out Boy has been played this past month. Outside of those, just a big mix of Florence + the Machine, Blue October, AFI, Lana Del Rey, and Orville Peck. It may seem really random, but I made a playlist for an airplane trip that felt pretty eclectic and now it’s my go-to playlist.

Words written:

I finished an 8k short story, so about 2k works on that and maybe another 1k worth of poetry. A lot more editing than original writing was done this past month.
Future stuff:

I’ll be on a few different horror podcasts this coming March & April including the Panic Room Radio Show & Bubble Bath with Baph. I also have some poetry coming out in The Nottingham Horror Collective and HorrorScope (a zodiac inspired anthology).
​
Brain worms:
Not 100% sure what to write here, but I’ll just say I’m starting to believe that orange cats do indeed only share one brain cell.

HorrorScope: A Zodiac Anthology

Aries. Taurus. Gemini. Cancer. Leo. Virgo. Libra. Scorpio. Sagittarius. Capricorn. Aquarius. Pisces.

It is said that destiny is determined by the stars. The signs of the Zodiac can predict who you’ll love, who you’ll hate, and who you’ll become. But the fates written in the stars are not always kind. Sometimes, they’re terrifying.

In Horrorscopes, you will find 36 dark fantasy poems and short stories all inspired by the Zodiac Signs. Within these pages, you’ll face killer goats, twisted twins and deadly fishies. So, open this book, if you dare, and pray that you weren’t born under a bad sign.
