Are you excited for the release?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DAVID SIMMONS: Yeah, I&#8217;m hype about the release. I&#8217;m really grateful to be working with Clash. That&#8217;s somebody I wanted to work with. I&#8217;m glad they took on this project.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\nWhere did your title, <em>Fetty on the Switches,<\/em> come from?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Fetty is slang for fentanyl, the drug, you know. And switches is a binary switch or a binary trigger device that can turn a semi-automatic gun into a fully automatic handgun.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The reason I went with <em>Fetty on the Switches<\/em> is that, to me, horror doesn&#8217;t always have to be supernatural and stuff like that. I hear about a seizure of, like, a couple kilos of fentanyl, like a couple miles down the street from where I live. That&#8217;s crazy because if you put that in the water like Batman, you could f*** a whole neighborhood up. Feel me? So it&#8217;s just crazy that it&#8217;s right there. And then you got Glock switches, which means that somebody could kill your whole family when they&#8217;re intending to hit one target, because when you put a switch on a gun, it sprays in an arc uncontrollably.<\/p>\n<p>So to me, that&#8217;s horror. Horror ain&#8217;t always got to be like werewolves. It can be, and I like that too. But like, I felt like those two things kind of encompass the type of horror that I write.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did the title story come about, and how do you approach writing a short story in general?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>All my short stories, unless they come from something that happened in real life and I want to build around it, I mean, even if they do come from something in real life, because a lot of them do, I always think about my opening bars. I always think about it like a rap song. My opening line of every short story that I write has to be crazy. When I write it, it has to be something where I picture, if I&#8217;m at a reading with a large amount of people that you know or a festival and I&#8217;m standing up. I\u2019ve got to have a picture of myself yelling the first line of the story all animated and the audience is like ok we have something here<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>That&#8217;s how I got this short story collection with Clash. Christoph heard me reading at Voidcon a few years ago. It was the first time a lot of people had seen me read live, because it was the first time I had really read live in front of any kind of crowd. And there were a lot of horror people there, like Brian Keene, and just different people, and they had never seen me. So I read this story called \u201cWhole Time,\u201d that&#8217;s in the collection, right? Christoph came up to me, and he was like, <em>have you sold that yet<\/em>? And I was like, <em>nah, let&#8217;s rock<\/em>.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>I feel like stories should be able to be performed and finished in their entirety. So that&#8217;s kind of my goal when I write it.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Funny that you say you approach that first line like a rap song, because I was wondering if <em>Fetty on the Switches<\/em> had a soundtrack, what would be on it?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I think it depends on the short story. That is a really good question. I don&#8217;t know, some stories in that collection to me feel like they&#8217;re from different places and I would like the music to be local to those places. So \u201cWhole Time\u201d is a story that takes place in Southeast DC, so I would like some artists from that area like Rare Essence, Junkyard, TCB, UCB. It gives it a presence.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<br \/>\nWhat type of tracks? Man, I don&#8217;t know. I think it depends on the short story. That is a really good question. I don&#8217;t know, some stories in that collection to me feel like they&#8217;re from different places, and I would like the music to be local to those places. So \u201cWhole Time\u201d is a story that takes place in Southeast DC, so I would like some artists from that area, like Rare Essence, Junkyard, TCB, and UCB. It gives it a presence.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSome of those stories are written in the east side of Baltimore, so I would like some east side Baltimore artists like Young Moose and Soda. And someone in South Baltimore, like GGL Slick, he&#8217;s from South Baltimore. So I would pick local artists.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you listen to music when you\u2019re writing?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When I&#8217;m writing? Nah, because I write on my phone when I&#8217;m trying to wrangle my daughters. Yeah, don&#8217;t ever write on no laptop or nothing like that. I write on my phone in Google Docs one-handed. And sometimes I write whole stories in talk-to-text, but it don&#8217;t get my accent right. So I have to go back and fix it all the time. But it don&#8217;t matter. I get it done.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how, I try to sit in front of a computer, but there&#8217;s just too much going on, you feel me? When I was writing <em>Eradicator<\/em>, my wife might be like, we gotta go heat the bottles up. And I&#8217;d be like, all right, bet. And then she&#8217;ll be like, <em>did you heat the bottles up yet<\/em>? And I&#8217;ll be like, <em>f***<\/em>, cause I was standing in the kitchen, you know, writing on my phone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So what are you working on now? What can we look forward to after <em>Fetty on the Switches<\/em>?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m working on something a little bit different. I&#8217;ve been talking for a while with a friend of mine, a writer named Brian Alan Carr, and there was this point of my life that he said sounded pretty interesting, and I should write about it, right? And so I&#8217;m kind of working on this, like I won&#8217;t call it autobiographical, but it&#8217;s a true part of a time period that happened in my life, but also layered into it is all this weird supernatural stuff where Baltimore is getting taken over by this Peter Thiel-type dude who&#8217;s turning everything into a giant parking lot. So yeah, it&#8217;s kind of a weird, trippy book. So I wouldn&#8217;t even know how to classify it, but it&#8217;s not quite horror yet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Simmons is a horror writer based in Baltimore, Maryland.
