Zombie Talk: An Interview with Susanna Kearsley

The most recent issue of Pulp Literature (#4 Autumn 2014) features the story “Soldier, Wake” by Susanna Kearsley followed by an interview in which Kearsely comments: “My books are a marketing department’s nightmare, really, because they don’t fit tidily into any genre . . . But usually I simply tell people I write stories about present-day people who are dealing with mysteries that come from the past, with dual plot lines that weave a historical tale with a modern one.” Kearsely goes on to discuss “Soldier, Wake,” her first zombie story, why she thinks readers are drawn to the mystical, and using her international travel as research for her writing
