Stephanie Anne is a local Ottawa author specializing mainly in the horror realm. She was kind enough to speak with me about her work.
A lonely farmer stumbles through life after the brutal murder of their only child. That is, if you can even call it life. There’s nothing left to live for save for a pitiful garden, a small herd of goats, and grainy memories captured on VHS tapes.
But there’s something else. A shadowy presence that lurks just out of sight and whispers into the mind of the farmer. It wants something. Something awful. And if the farmer gives in to these demands… Well, nothing good can come of it, no matter how much the grieving parent wants retribution for what happened that fateful night.
Poetic and tragic, this is a story about life, death, and all the suffering in between. “I Spit On Your Grave” meets “The Tracey Fragments” and “Ghost Eaters” in this gruesome, psychedelic, folk horror story by Stephanie Anne.
Hi, my name is Stephanie Anne!
I’m an oddball extraordinaire and Ottawa-based horror author. I love all things strange, monstrous, and uncomfortable. Specializing in disturbing and domestic horror, I enjoy making people uncomfortable.
My stories may not be scary in the “jumpscare” sense, but after reading one of my books you’ll never look at certain every-day things the same way again. If you like unsettling tales of torment and trauma, you’re in for a treat.
My writing assistants are Minerva, Finn, Bubs, and Janey. Unfortunately, these free-spirited felines like to sleep on the job. That is, when they aren’t stepping on my keyboard and adding extra words to my books.
Stay Spooky!
