Gwendolyn Kiste<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Gwendolyn Kiste is a three-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of\u00a0The Haunting of Velkwood<\/em>,\u00a0The Rust Maidens<\/em>,\u00a0Reluctant Mortals<\/em>, and most recently, a short story called “Your Mother’s Love Is An Apocalypse” in the\u00a0Mother Knows Best: Tales of Homemade Horror<\/em>\u00a0anthology, foreword by Sadie Hartmann, edited by Lindy Ryan. Kiste has also won the Lambda Literary Award and received the This is Horror award for Novel of the Year.<\/p>\n

She doesn’t just tell any old ghost stories. Kiste’s books, like\u00a0The Haunting of Velkwood<\/em><\/a>, orbit themes of self-identity, complacency, and\u00a0unbreakable bonds. To her, “Everyone’s life is like a haunted house.” Perhaps that’s why her books linger, giving readers a ghostly book hangover.<\/p>\n

Kiste spoke to Cemetery Dance about\u00a0The Haunting of Velkwood,\u00a0<\/em>gothic horror, themes of complacency and accountability in her latest novel, and, of course, ghost stories (her specialty).<\/p>\n

(Interview conducted by\u00a0Haley Newlin<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n

CEMETERY DANCE: In\u00a0The Haunting of Velkwood<\/em>, you say all our pasts are haunted houses. Did that theme come before the characters when developing the story?<\/strong><\/p>\n

GWENDOLYN KISTE:\u00a0\u00a0I feel like the\u00a0characters and the story for\u00a0The Haunting of Velkwood<\/em>\u00a0formed simultaneously.\u00a0I love the idea of the past as a haunted house. It can be so easy to get caught in a loop of nostalgia, regret, and what-ifs when it comes to our personal history. In a way, we’re all our own ghosts, the younger versions of ourselves always haunting the present. That was definitely the concept I was cultivating with\u00a0The Haunting of Velkwood<\/em>, and these characters were the perfect ones to explore that theme.<\/p>\n

In particular, the core\u00a0group of four friends on Velkwood Street each ended up in very different places in their lives twenty years after the neighborhood turned into a specter. It was such an interesting experience exploring how and why people take such divergent paths, even if they share many of the same experiences.<\/p>\n

The Haunting of Velkwood\u00a0<\/em>blends classic gothic tropes with modern horror expectations. What is your favorite gothic horror novel\/film?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve got so many favorites! My go-to gothic novel is\u00a0We Have Always Lived in the Castle<\/em> by Shirley Jackson. Its got horror, its got whimsy, its truly got \"covereverything. Merricat Blackwood is one of my absolute favorite characters of all time, and her relationship with her sister Constance is so wonderfully loving and dysfunctional.<\/p>\n

As for a favorite gothic film, it’s an old standby, but I absolutely adore\u00a0The Uninvited<\/em>, starring Ray Milland, Gail Russell, and Ruth Hussey. It’s a fairly straightforward ghost story, but the gothic elements are so delightful, and it’s got a few\u00a0really\u00a0cool and chilling moments. Plus, there’s even a queer subtext to the film, which is almost revolutionary, considering it\u00a0was released\u00a0in 1944.\u00a0Definitely\u00a0a film worth watching if you haven’t seen it already.<\/p>\n

Enid, the oddball and peculiar girl in the Velkwood neighborhood, is a fan favorite. What were the most significant inspirations behind her character?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love that you call Enid a fan favorite! That makes me so happy to hear!\u00a0I’m\u00a0pretty\u00a0fond of her, so it’s wonderful that she resonates with readers.<\/p>\n

I feel like\u00a0Enid is an ode to the odd girls we grew up with, like Wednesday Addams, Lydia Deetz, Daria, and the coven from\u00a0The Craft<\/em>. She’s also probably a bit of my subconscious incarnate. She’s all the weirdness that lives in me that doesn’t always have a clear outlet: the witchiness, the strange way of looking at the world, the love of insects.<\/p>\n

Over the years, I’ve featured a lot of strange girls in my writing, but Enid is one of the few in my longer works with a\u00a0major\u00a0role. I definitely would have loved to spend even more time with her character. On that same note, one of my\u00a0next\u00a0projects spotlights that sort of “peculiar girl,” but this time, she’s one of the\u00a0major\u00a0viewpoint characters in the book. I figure it’s about time\u00a0that I\u00a0give the\u00a0truly weird\u00a0girls who exist in my fictional world a chance to have even more say in their own story.<\/p>\n

Complacency and accountability are<\/strong>\u00a0other leading themes in your latest novel. Why do you think these themes are\u00a0important\u00a0to include in fiction, or horror in particular? Why now?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve always felt that fiction\u00a0ought to\u00a0reflect life, and\u00a0in particular,\u00a0horror fiction should reflect the things that scare us most.\u00a0Complacency is honestly more frightening to me than any of the vampires, werewolves, or other\u00a0monsters of the genre.\u00a0The way\u00a0people can stand by and do nothing, even when they know something is going\u00a0very,\u00a0very wrong.<\/p>\n

As for why now, I genuinely hope that things are shifting in the world, and we’re finally starting to listen to victims. There’s more of a conversation around abuse and toxic behavior than ever before, and that gives me hope that not only are we finally at the right time for these stories but also that we’re at a moment when we can turn the tide and possibly change the way we deal with trauma and survivors. Horror is such an ideal vehicle for exploring the past and how we can move forward. It’s just one more reason why I love the genre so much.<\/p>\n

What do you think is the\u00a0greatest\u00a0ghost story ever told?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I had to choose one, it would\u00a0probably\u00a0be Shirley Jackson’s\u00a0The Haunting of Hill House<\/em>,\u00a0especially\u00a0because of how influential it’s been in the genre.\u00a0Plus, anytime I get a chance to sing the praises of Shirley Jackson, I’m always\u00a0very happy\u00a0to do so! I adore the characters of Theo and Eleanor; they’re so fantastic, and there’s also a sapphic vibe to their relationship, which always does my heart good. It’s such a great book, and the original film,\u00a0The Haunting<\/em>, is one of the best ghost story movies\u00a0of all time. Awesome, spooky stuff all the way around.<\/p>\n

What’s next? Are you currently working on any projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’m working on a couple of different books right now, so I’m hoping to have something to announce soon. In the meantime, I’m always writing short fiction and nonfiction. You can catch my latest stories in\u00a0a number of\u00a0recent and forthcoming anthologies, including\u00a0Mother Knows Best<\/em>,\u00a0Euroschlock Nightmares<\/em>, and\u00a0Fear of Clowns<\/em>, and my nonfiction appears regularly at The\u00a0Lineup<\/a>\u00a0where I write all about horror cinema and fiction.<\/p>\n

Where can readers learn more about you and your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n
