Who is the author of this site?
My name is Isaac Hunter and I’m a writer of supernatural suspense novels. I write full-time and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I am married and have three kids, a dog, and I’m told we will soon be getting a cat or two.
How/Why did you start writing?
If you mean writing in general, I remember writing stories when I was just a little kid, though I’m not really certain when I actually started. I know my over-active imagination was going strong years before I started writing. I think I could always see other worlds in my head, worlds that no one else could see. Worlds with characters that were so much more interesting to me than our own. As far as my fiction writing specifically, I wrote my first novel in 2009, shortly after a life altering experience (I refer to as Golem in the dedication section of my early books). This experience provided sufficient enough motivation to finish the rewrites on that first manuscript. I did not release it to the public for several more years. Since then, I have become a full-time author and a homeschooling dad of three, and my family and I still spend a large portion of our time out on the Eden property.
What are your writing interests?
I am a child of horror fiction, specifically Dean Koontz and John Saul being my two childhood favorites. My own writing interests to date would be anything that is dark, mysterious, supernatural, suspenseful, creepy, certainly macabre. I like to explore the broken characters, human fragility, and especially where this intersects with the supernatural, the theological, and the heretical. Witches are also of interest, as well as Native American folklore. Fallen angels have captivated me for a long time, so have other biblical concepts like the 4apture and apocalyptic environments. I really enjoy exploring broken relationships between people, whether that be between family members or romantic entanglements. I have a fascination for serial killers, and they have been featured in at least one series and will be in several more. My wife often catches me “hunting” when we are somewhere in public, when I’m working on my next novel. My wife has actually gone up to a woman once in a crowded concert we were attending and asked the young lady her name secretly so I could have it for an upcoming book where she would be kidnapped and murdered (Her name was Rebecca and she will be in Slither). Ghosts, of course, are of interest. So are demons. Time travel. Alternate universes. God. Quantum physics. Monks. The Devil. Living underground. Mathematics…..Oh, now you’ve got me going.
Why do you write reviews on your site?
One of my all-time favorite hobbies is reading books and watching TV shows and movies. Thus, I have to write about them, right? I like to compare and contrast the plots and characters with those of my own stories. Of course, I never have enough time to review everything I consume.
Will you review my book?
Yes I will, but only if you review mine. You go first….
What’s your favorite TV Show/Movie/Novel?
Favorite tv show? Fringe. Lost. NewsRadio. The list goes on and on. Just check out all my five star TV Show Reviews. As far as movies? Dances with Wolves. Alien Franchise. Dogma. Dodgeball, etc. But, again, the list is simply too long. Check out my reviews. Favorite book from childhood would be Lightning by Dean Koontz, Lord of the Flies by William Golding, the Magic Cottage by James Herbert, and Nathaniel by John Saul. Also Walden Two: Revisited by B.F. Skinner. I found Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov a fascinating mind-bend, and Leo Tolstoy’s Family Happiness to be simply incredible. The book that has, hands down, change me most in my life, though, is Your Money or Your Life by Joe Dominguez. It was a sad day for me when I learned of his untimely death.
What’s your favorite food when watching tv or reading a book?
Pizza. Ice Cream. Tacos. McDonalds. Did I mention Pizza?
