New interview with Alistair Rennie now up

Posted by lawrence89 on April 20, 2008

In the wake of the New Weird anthology (edited by the VanderMeers), I contacted Alistair Rennie to ask him a few things about his short story in the antho (“The Gutter Sees the Light That Never Shines”) and what followed was a full-blown interview. I posted it yesterday evening on Fantasybookspot. Check it out if you’re interesting in hearing more about New Weird’s newest talents.

For those not familiar with Alistair Rennie, he was born in the North of Scotland and now lives in Italy. He has published short fiction in Electric Velocipede, Shadowed Realms and The New Weird, and has forthcoming work appearing in Weird Tales, Fabulous Whitby (edited by Liz Williams and Sue Thomason) and Electric Velocipede.

I am very pleased how this interview turned out, Alistair Rennie is a great guy to interview – gave my questions the fullest attention. The result was a lengthy, thought-provoking chat. All my three ‘On the Spots’ feature have been fun so far, so I am definitely looking out for more candidates.
