Scott's love of vampires began at an early age watching Bela
Lugosi, Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing on Creature Double Feature on Saturday afternoons.
Scott always said he was going to write the massive vampire
epic novel. Trailer Trash was not it. His first published story, also called “Trailer Trash,” appeared in
the anthology The Darkest Thirst. The novel was based on that story.
Since then he has penned the screenplay for the short film “Granite
Voice” and co-written two non-fiction books with his brother, David (Shadows Over New England and Shadows Over Florida).
Currently he’s co-editing two anthologies for Chaosium with
Rachel Kenley, Once Upon an Apocalypse, volume
1 and 2. Scott's short fiction has most
recently appeared in the Stoker Award-nominated anthology Epitaphs, and the forthcoming Carnival
of the Damned and Atomic Age Cthulhu.

This series of short interviews are the result of me asking established writers about their
vampire fiction. Many of them had written vampire fiction that I hadn't
heard about because I was busy with work, night school, or life at the
time of publication.
Previous interviewees in this series are writer
F. Paul Wilson, who has been writing bestsellers for over thirty years;
Heather Graham, guest of honor, New York Times bestselling author of over 150 novels and novellas;
Jeff Strand,
also guest of honor, who exquisitely mixes comedy and terror, and
Hal Bodner, witty writer and bon vivant.
The next interview should be the one with writer Gordon Linzner, editor emeritus of
Space and Time magazine.
