#BadMoonRising Through the Nethergate by Roberta Eaton Cheadle #horror #historicalfiction #bookgiveaway

Thank you to author, Teri Polen, for sharing this post about my book, Through the Nethergate, as part of her Halloween Bad Moon Rising series.

You name a genre, and this author’s written it – adult novels, young adult, poetry, children’s books. She’s also working on the first novel in her cake art and baking trilogy. Find out which book scared her so much it kept her awake at night – but not enough to quit reading it. Welcome Roberta Eaton Cheadle!

Would you rather spend a night in The Overlook Hotel with Jack Torrance or be in the high school gym during prom with Carrie?

Stephen King was my favourite author when I was a pre-teen. I read all the books he wrote during the ‘70s and ‘80s (hidden behind the couch as they belonged to my mother). The Shining is still one of my top three King books so I would choose to spend a night at the Overlook Hotel rather than at a school prom. I particularly enjoyed the scenes in the bar when Jack Torrance meets the various ‘ghosts’ which inhabit the hotel. This novel explores family relationships and how love and nurturing can turn to hate, and resentment given the right circumstances. I always find psychology fascinating.

Three short quotes that summarise the essence of The Shining:

“Sometimes human places, create inhuman monsters.”

“Monsters are real. Ghosts are too. They live inside of us, and sometimes, they win.”

“The world’s a hard place, Danny. It don’t care. It don’t hate you and me, but it don’t love us either.”

  8. I’m not a party person and not keen on buckets of blood either, so it would be the Overlook for me too. It had some interesting history, as I recall.

    Now I must see how you answered Teri’s other questions!

  15. Stephen King is brilliant, but I’m not a horror fan. I take it too seriously, Robbie. But I know you enjoyed my post when we visited The Stanley Hotel. I think we’ll watch The Shining on Halloween night, if I can make it through, so wish me luck. 🙂 Your interview was great, and it’s always fun to learn more about you. I’m always in awe with how much you can juggle. Congrats!
