Throughout February, ChiZine Publications is celebrating Women in Horror Month (http://www.womeninhorrormonth.com/) by profiling female authors and our staff.
Sèphera Girón has books published in horror, erotica, romance, and non-fiction under several different names. When she's not writing, she's a professional tarot reader and loves to go on paranormal investigations. Find out more about her at: http://www.sepheragiron.com
How did you get started with your writing?
I was a precocious kid who loved to read. My parents were teachers so I learned to read and write long before I ever went to school. Once I realized I could tell my own stories, I never stopped.
How would you describe your writing?
Dark, strange, twisting, humorous, sarcastic, unflinching
Who are your influences?
Original fairy tales, Stephen King, Clive
Barker, Mary
Shelley, Sylvia Plath, Virginia Wolf, it goes on. I was a huge
bookworm growing
up.
Why do you write horror?
I write stories. I tend to have naturally dark sensibilities and it emerges in my work. I blame my Spanish heritage with all those bullfights, Goya, Picasso, the Inquisition, etc.
Horror's top creature features: who would you date, marry and kill?
Maybe I'd date Pinhead for a while and have
some SM fun in
the pits of hell then escape before he tears my soul apart. I'd
marry the
Creature from the Black Lagoon. I think he'd treat me well and
he'd always be
off swimming so I could write. I love swimming too so we could
have adventures.
I'd have to kill Jigsaw.

Ms. Giron has a delightfully disturbing knack for taking ordinary people who would be our neighbors, waitresses, and grocery clerks and exposing their emotional frailties to us in an ant-farm fashion.
