Murray<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I met author Emma E. Murray at the Indie Book Fair in Ridgewood, New York, in November 2025, where I obtained a copy of her short story collection, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Drowning Machine and Other Obsessions.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I recently had a chance to speak with Emma E. Murray about the collection, Jack Ketchum, and grief horror.\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><b>DANIEL BRAUM<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: <\/span><b>Your short story, \u201cAn Angel of God,\u201d which is reprinted in <\/b><b><i>The Drowning Machine and Other Obsessions<\/i><\/b><b> first appeared in the publication <\/b><b><i>Vastarien: A Literary Journal Volume 7, Issue Zero<\/i><\/b><b> in 2024. What was it about Vastarien\u2019s editorial directive that you felt it was a good home for the story?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emma E. Murray: I had been a fan of Vastarien for quite a while before I finally felt I had a story that was the right vibe and high enough quality to submit, and I was so lucky because \u201cAn Angel of God\u201d ended up being in the final issue of Vastarien, so I almost missed my chance! I loved how Jon Padgett curated these bleak, beautiful Ligottiesque tales, and I\u2019m forever honored to have been a part of the magazine while it existed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What is it like presenting an unreliable narrator? How do the elements of loss, grief, and religion come into play in \u201cAn Angel of God?\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To me, it brings a disturbing realism to POV characters and adds so much dimension to a story by forcing the reader to step back from the lies we all tell ourselves. Most of my works utilize an unreliable narrator to some extent, partially because any first-person character needs to be a bit unreliable in my opinion. We all see things through our own lens of our upbringing, education, class, race, sexuality, the list goes on and on, so a first-person narrative will never be unbiased and pure. I like leaning into that and pushing it in interesting directions whenever possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I started writing this story, I knew I wanted a character with immense faith but who is being challenged in that faith by the reality she\u2019s having to face. Even though I myself am an atheist, I have loved ones to whom their faith is the most significant part of their lives, and I wanted to really dig into how the cognitive dissonance of a loss, like the mother in the story experiences, could cause them to throw out all logic and reason to cling to that faith and the belief in \u201cmiracles.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The title of the story actually comes from a Flannery O\u2019Conner story, \u201cThe Life You Save May Be Your Own,\u201d which is quite different but explores some of the same southern gothic themes. I also named the baby St. John, after the unlikable character from Jane Eyre, to immediately paint a picture of how the mother thinks and how her sympathetic reading of that character shows her na\u00efve worldview and religiosity. I wanted to explore how such a person might deal with grief and their own magical thinking when placed in this absurd situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>I suspect the late author Jack Ketchum would have enjoyed this story. One thing Ketchum reiterated to his students was \u201cdon\u2019t look away.\u201d I interpreted this as referencing both visual presentations in fiction but also not looking away from the emotional and dangerous aspects of life and our characters\u2019 lives, the specific and \u201csmall\u201d personal details unique to our lives and struggles.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>By showing us the plane crash victim and the extreme pain and things he goes through, \u201cAn Angel of God\u201d skillfully delivers difficult imagery and situations and is one that embodies the notion of not looking away.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Can you tell me about how you think about, approach, and present both elements in this story and in your work in general?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a huge Jack Ketchum fan, what a compliment! I definitely believe in his idea of not looking away from the visceral and upsetting, especially in horror. For me, being disturbed is more important than being scared, and a lasting impression is most important of all, so I try to make the very uncomfortable scenes and emotions the heart of all my works.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In \u201cAn Angel of God,\u201d the grief of the mother was the most vital element. I wanted her pain to be palpable for the reader, so the little details about the baby, the way her psychosis grows so organically, and the way she can view the gore of the plane crash in a totally different light than the reader will, all feeds into making that unimaginable grief as real and painful as possible. I think her anguish is juxtaposed with the physical pain of the pilot in a way that really helped deepen both, and hopefully wormed into readers\u2019 minds to stick with them. That\u2019s always my intention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my other work, I approach these kinds of scenes and intense emotional turmoil similarly. I never want the gore I write to feel gratuitous, and my horror is never the kind of escapist fiction readers reach for to get away from the weight of the real world, so I often try to achieve a balance between empathizing with the characters and also being somewhat revolted by their actions. Both my novels <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crushing Snails<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shoot Me in the Face on a Beautiful Day<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are examples of this, and I\u2019ll never tire of reading reviews where readers admit they hated themselves for liking a despicable protagonist as much as they did.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>At the Indie Book Fair in Ridgewood, New York, in November 2025, I had the opportunity to visit your table. There was a special edition of a story you mentioned as one of your favorite short stories. Can you tell us what short story that is and why it is one of your favorites?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, that was my story \u201cExquisite Hunger,\u201d which had a beautiful limited-edition illustrated chapbook version published by Medusa Haus. I still have a few copies left, but I only sell them at in-person events, so if anyone is interested, that\u2019s where you can find it. This story is especially close to my heart because it really explores all the themes I\u2019m most drawn to: the grotesque feminine, obsession, queerness, fantasy vs reality and the disappointment that follows. It also has, in my opinion, one of the most satisfying endings I\u2019ve written.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tell us about the title short story for the collection, \u201cThe Drowning Machine.\u201d<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"21016\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.cemeterydance.com\/extras\/night-time-logic-with-emma-e-murray\/the-drowning-machine\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cemeterydance.com\/extras\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/The-drowning-machine.jpg?fit=1656%2C2560&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1656,2560\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"The drowning machine\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cemeterydance.com\/extras\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/The-drowning-machine.jpg?fit=662%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-21016\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cemeterydance.com\/extras\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/The-drowning-machine.jpg?resize=226%2C350&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"226\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cemeterydance.com\/extras\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/The-drowning-machine.jpg?resize=226%2C350&amp;ssl=1 226w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cemeterydance.com\/extras\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/The-drowning-machine.jpg?resize=662%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 662w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cemeterydance.com\/extras\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/The-drowning-machine.jpg?resize=768%2C1187&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cemeterydance.com\/extras\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/The-drowning-machine.jpg?resize=994%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 994w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cemeterydance.com\/extras\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/The-drowning-machine.jpg?resize=1325%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1325w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cemeterydance.com\/extras\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/The-drowning-machine.jpg?resize=1200%2C1855&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cemeterydance.com\/extras\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/The-drowning-machine.jpg?w=1656&amp;ssl=1 1656w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 226px) 85vw, 226px\" \/><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, I actually wrote that story because I am, in fact, obsessed with submerged weirs, also known as \u201cdrowning machines,\u201d and I really wanted to find a way to fit one into a story, so it was kind of built around that. There\u2019s something so lonely and disquieting about drowning machines, so the story naturally took on the themes of loss, shame, and regret. It kind of poured out of me all at once, and I was surprised to read it and see that it only needed minimal work. I\u2019m quite proud of that one and it always means a lot to me when readers reach out and say it was one that really affected them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What is your writing process like? Which part of the story comes to you first?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For me, my stories come to me first as images, usually of the climax or ending scene, so that\u2019s where I like to start. I write out of order, which can get messy when drafting novels, but I think my best work happens when I write the scenes as they come to me and as I\u2019m inspired. Then, I can step back and see what\u2019s missing for a reader to see the vision I\u2019m trying to present.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What is it about the horror genre that makes it such a ready medium to create stories about loss, grief, and some of the more uncomfortable emotions?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To me, horror is the best place to explore these emotions because it\u2019s one of the only places where they\u2019re allowed to be laid out bare and completely honest. There is no need for euphemisms in horror, no instinct to diminish the anguish, to minimize the discomfort and disgust that come with the darkest, most painful parts of being human. Horror is there to make us unsettled and upset, so there\u2019s no better place to dive into the parts of our lives that society deems unsightly and unacceptable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Where can readers find your books and stay connected with you?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My books are available at all the usual places!
