The WildClaw Clive Barker Interview

Our exclusive interview with Clive Barker where we talk to him about working with Charley Sherman (adaptor/director of The Great God Pan) on the stage adaptation of Barker's In The Flesh, the influence and importance of Arthur Machen, and what Clive's currently working on.

Clive on Arthur Machen:

"Arthur Machen is wholly neglected in this country and I’m afraid in England, too. He is, to my mind, easily as important as Lovecraft. He’s certainly a better writer..."

The WildClaw L.A. Banks Interview

In our exclusive interview with Essence Magazine's Storyteller of the Year 2008, Leslie Banks, we talk about her epic Vampire Huntress series now on the tenth book of twelve. We discuss how she writes these stories and what influences her storytelling.

Leslie on detailed research:

"When you have people materializing and dematerializing and walking through walls you have to have some kind of basis for explaining it other than, 'Oh well, it was a ghost.'"

The WildClaw Dave Dorman Interview

Our exclusive interview with award-winning illustrator, Dave Dorman. We discuss his work on properties like Hellraiser and Re-Animator, along with his own Wasted Lands universe and his Gnomon Workshop instructional DVDs.

Dave on detailed research:

"Some people can be very specific on having the likenesses exactly like they are in the film. Some don’t care as long as it has the feeling of the characters. I particularly like to have the portrayal of the characters that I do look very much like they do in the film."

WEIRD TALES OF SIN AND ECSTASY:
ARTHUR MACHEN IN JAZZ AGE CHICAGO
By Gwilym Games, Editor of Machenalia

"Wildclaw Theatre by putting on Machen’s The Great God Pan is making an appropriate tribute to the birth of Chicago’s Weird Tales in this anniversary year. Without Weird Tales and Machen’s influence on those who wrote for it, modern horror and fantasy would be very different place."
