    Horror, She Wrote - a Conversation with Mimi Schweid

    Horror, She Wrote This week, we sat down with one of the PCA family members, Mimi Schweid. Mimi is an up-and-coming, award-winning writer of short stories. She writes about horror stuff, but also poetry and prose. Mimi is also one of the most voracious readers you will ever meet, and we go into a lot of detail about her love of books, what she's reading now, her comfort reads, and the books she recommends for you to check out and hopefully enjoy. Mimi's first short story collection is available now, and the follow-up poetry collection is in the process of being edited and such. Hopefully, we will be seeing that book soon, too.
