In February’s newsletter (catch up HERE if you missed it) I interviewed Lisa Richardson about her debut YA horror, Channel Fear. In it, Iris, Byron and Molly are following in the footsteps of 2 famous YouTubers, Zach and Lucas, who disappeared while on a ghost hunt several months ago. Now, with tensions running high between the trio, Iris and co. are about to find more than they bargained for at the dilapidated Thornhanger House…
This book has so many of the horror tropes I love: creepypasta found footage, ghost hunters, a haunted mansion with no way out… as well as great characters you’ll alternately root for and want to push down the crumbling stairs.
After finding out all about Channel Fear, of course I needed to ask the author a little something extra…
