 Ginger Snaps is a brand new segment for Ginger Nuts of Horror. It is a quick-fire “bite-sized” interview, where your answers relate to what you’ve been doing in the past month (30 days or so). Keep your answers short and sweet, but also add your own flair where you can. Please include a brief bio, a photo that we can use, and any links that you would like us to add to the interview. If you would like to take part in this series Download the template here Who are you? I am Pippa Bailey – although I got married three weeks ago and due to lock-down, I’m both Pippa Bailey and Pippa Pilgrim. I am an author and voice actor. Your signature style: I write supernatural, speculative fiction, with a lean towards the crude and unusual torture of my characters. There’s generally sex, dribbling, overly spindly people, and someone always dies. Toot your own horn: I’ve co-written and released four books in the last year and a half under a co-owned publishing company – Pugnacious Press. Books read: My favourite book is Cabal by Clive Barker. I really enjoyed the NPC series by Drew Hays, and the audio series is terrific. I read a big mish-mash of horror and fantasy. Movies watched: Favorite film is Fifth Element. Recently we’ve been delving into foreign horror, there are so many amazing films and series. The film Terrified is beautiful and twisted; also the French series Marianne is stunning. Games and/or music played: I’m currently hooked on Slime Rancher and Stardew Valley, I like kid’s games with bright colours. I play wholly inappropriate card games, like Cards Against Humanity and Disturbed Friends. Music-wise, I’m obsessed with Ghost, I’ve been to see them twice and love, love, love, satanic rock. I have a music degree myself and like to sing, but I get a bit shy about it. Words written: This month I’d like to finish the first book in a series that I have been prodding for the last two years. It’s erotic horror, so it should be interesting. I’d really like to be writing every day if I can. Future stuff: In the next couple of weeks there will be a new story released through the Wicked Library for their podcast, a story called “Close Your Mouths and Clench Eyes Tight”. A review for one of Robert Shearman’s stories from a book collection “We All Hear Stories in the Dark” will be out soon through Gingernuts of Horror. Most of my solo projects are likely to be around next year. Still, for the foreseeable future, I’ll be creating not completing, unfortunately. Brain worms: Did you know that as you digest casein (casomorphins) from cheese, it released a chemical like morphine, which is why cheese is so addictive. It’s a feel-good food. When finding out this fact, I found out that I have Tyramine sensitivity. I have a major Tyramine Hypertensive Response when eating aged cheese; some people get it with wine and chocolate as well. You’ll most likely know this as “The Cheese Sweats” Tyramine has the same effect as adrenaline on the nervous system, blood pressure will rise, heart rate will increase. You’ll find yourself feeling all sweaty around your eyes. So, warning – CHEESE CAN KILL, BUT IT’S SO DAMN TASTY. IT’S A RISK I’M WILLING TO TAKE!

Principally a horror writer with Pugnacious Press Publishing, and YouTube personality and independent reviewer at Deadflicks with her partner, Myk Pilgrim.
