    Mark Edward Hall – Horror Author's Interests
General

I like stories. I like writing novels, novellas, short stories and songs, playing in my band, going to camp.
I like good, edgy, writing, something with meat and teeth. It doesn't have to be horror, scifi or fantasy; those things are nice but not necessary. It just has to be good. It has to make me think and be in awe.
I'm interested in, no, I'm fasinated by, astronomy, things like super novas, black holes and colliding galaxies. Carl Sagan is my hero. I'm as psyched as he was at the prospect of life elsewhere in the cosmos. I'm still mourning his passing. I'm in awe of the universe and its vastness. I'm very much interested in man's quest to explore our neighboring worlds. But in the process I don't think we should abandon this one. Real or not, UFOs and the culture surrounding them are very strange and very cool.
I like spending time on the bay, or in my back yard overlooking Swan Island. I like drinking good wine and having nice quiet dinners with my wife, Sheila. She's very cool too, the love of my life. We garden together and go to flea markets and hunt for antique treasures. She reads all my stuff first and tells me if I need a reality check. She doesn't lie to me and I do my best to listen to her wisdom. I like book signings and the camaraderie of other authors in this crazy business of writing. For the most part these are good people, complex people, like minded.
I like throwing a good party and having friends over. I like stimulating intellectual discussions and backyard barbecues. Getting drunk once in a while.
I like traipsing through the north country in pursuit of the elusive eastern brook trout, spending time back at camp in front of the fireplace with old friends and their wonderful stories. I love my two daughters. They're great people, fun to be with, and party with. I’m lucky.
I like taking my dad fishing. I like the adventure of it. He did it for me, and sometimes I think it saved my life, now I do it for him. I like his dynamic; he’s an old Yankee from Maine, but no dummy. He’s a painter a craftsman, a musician, a philosopher. We have a strong connection.
I like antiques because of the wonderful stories they tell. I like stories. Did I say that already?
I like guitars, especially Stratocasters.
I like old houses and back roads, and colorful native people, rough around the edges, with pickup trucks and local dialects. They seem like the foundation of our society.
I like Pink Floyd.

Music

Sting, Willie Nelson,Steely Dan,Pink Floyd,Springsteen,U2,Comfortably Numb,Indigo Girls,Stones, both Dylans,

Movies

Way too many to list here.

Television

Don't like television very much, sorry to say. Don't like reality shows. I guess that's what most people like these days, judging from the number of them. If I want reality I'll live my life. Guess I'm out of touch. House isn't too bad, but it gets repetitious. Same with CSI. I like UFO Hunters but I wish they'd find something concrete. It's been more than sixty years since Roswell. It seems to me they'd be able to lay their hands on some real evidence. Oh well I keep waiting, and hoping. I like Nova and Nova Science Now, and most anything that has to do with exploring the unknown. When I was a kid I wanted to be the first man on Mars. Guess It's time to reassess that dream. Now I escape by writing, and reading. They still haven't invented a reasonable substitute. The internet is good for some things, but most of what's out there is junk, and lies. I guess that's the price we pay for an open dialogue.
And television news. What a joke! Don't get me started.

DARK FANTASY & NIGHTMARES
Author of the
BRAM STOKER RECOMMENDED NOVEL

THE LOST VILLAGE

New Novella THE HAUNTING OF SAM CABOT from DAMNATION BOOKS Now available everywhere.

LOST VILLAGE SYNOPSIS

Sarah Jameson Landry and her five year old daughter, Annabelle, haunted by the same insistent voice, embark on a reluctant journey to find their ancestral home. What they discover is a strange little village that has somehow gone adrift from the rest of the world. They uncover a horrifying legacy of missing children that dates back hundreds of years, and in the process learn the terrible secrets of their own ancestral past. Michael Bannon, haunted by demons of his own has come to James Village in search of anonymity. What he finds instead is that no distance, great or small can ever erase the terrible mistakes of the past. He discovers also that he is, in some inconceivable way, connected to Sarah and the child Annabelle. They form an alliance with a small group of friends, villagers, who like themselves are tired of being afraid, and resign themselves to the task of seeking the truth regardless of its consequences. Together they embark on a terrifying quest to destroy the evil that lies at the center of all their lives. The Lost Village is an epic journey into the unknown that leaves none of its participants unchanged by the experience. Dark and dazzling, it is a tale that encompasses dramas of seduction and death, episodes of tenderness and miraculous healing. It is also an allegory about the deeds that men do and the secrets that they keep, a parable of innocence against the corruption of the soul, of sanity against madness, of triumph against all odds. And it gives us a rare glimpse into the dark superstition and aching loneliness that lies deep inside the core of all humankind.

Hi, my name is Mark Edward Hall, and I am a horror fiction author. I have written and published three books, plus over 30 shorts stories. My first novel, The Lost Village was recommended for a Bram Stoker Award and nominated for the small press Tombstone Award. My second book, The Holocaust Opera is a collection of dark tales that includes two novellas and seven short stories. I am working on three new novels. They are tentatively titled, Soul Thief, Cross My Heart and Hope to Die, and Angel Island! The Ruby Necklace, a ghost story, is a chapbook co-written with Ghosts of Eden author T.M. Gray. It was also recommended for a Stoker award. My short fiction has found its way into the pages of, Book of Dark Wisdom, Kopfhalter, Raven’s tale, plus many more magazines and Anthologies.

BOOK REVIEWS

"Mark Edward Hall is an amazing and talented writer. The Holocaust Opera, with its two novellas and seven shorter works, is an emotionally and psychologically driven thrill ride. Poetic and eerily seductive the author pushes you to the edge, until you get lost in the beautiful madness of his creations.
—Midwest Book Review


"Mark Edward Hall is an insightful author with the ability to craft a brilliant story. The Lost Village takes us on a quest, an exhaustive journey of human emotions, of pain, suffering, and wanderlust; it is a constant uncovering of times, places, and the forgotten. With absolute attention to detail, setting and ambience, you are along for an incredible ride. The most terrifying part of this compelling and supernatural story is that it borders on reality. From the haunting cover to the final page, Mark Edward Hall’s The Lost Village is a genuine must read!"
—Dream Forge


“I can't say enough about The Lost Village. I absolutely loved it. With every twist and turn of the plot, I was stunned by Hall’s strong depictions of images and events that made me utter, "Oh my God, this is GOOD!" and although I forced myself to take my time with it (I wanted to make it last), it seemed I just couldn't turn the pages fast enough. The Lost Village may make you question your own beliefs about Good and Evil and bring you to a new and terrifying realization of the truths contained therein. Once you've read The Lost Village, you'll see things in a whole new light. And you'll pray that the light stays on for a long time after you've put the book back on the shelf."
—T. M. Gray
, Author of GHOSTS OF EDEN, THE RAVENOUS and MR. CRISPER


"Mark Edward Hall creates a thinking man's Village of the Damned and delivers a rich, complex and genuinely discomfiting story of good versus evil. The Lost Village ia an ambitious, epic horror opus in the grand tradition of Stephen King, with well-drawn, believable characters and plot twists galore. The images he creates are compelling and detailed, drawing the reader into the terrifying world he creates. A refreshingly intricate read with no easy outs for the reader."
—Vince Liaguno,
author of The Literary Six
