Don’t judge me when I say this, as I realize I sound rather serial killer-ish, but horror makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I love a good scare, creep-out, and, of course, anything bloody and full of gore. Four years ago was when I had found out about the existence of horror comics, and there was no going back. I wanted more, and I found Japanese horror - Takashi Miike is my favorite director. Then it was on to Pet Sematary, Salem’s Lot, Misery, and after I finished a majority of his collection, I moved on to other horror writers. 36 and 15 buses to Harlem, and read until it was my stop. I would take It out of my backpack, on the 6 train or the No. Stephen King’s It - the hardcover edition - was the first book I can remember checking out of the library I was 10 years old. I was getting a lot of raised eyebrows and even a few, “Are Hazel and Mari killing people now?” when Jook Joint was initially announced. What is it about the genre that draws you as a creator? For those who first encountered your work through Bingo Love, Jook Joint might feel like quite the departure - but your first published comics work was in Josh Williamson’s Nailbiter, and that is a horror story.
