A Conversation with Andrew Shaffer, New York Times Best-Selling Author of Secret Santa - SciFiNow - The World's Best Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Magazine
New York Times best-selling satires and mysteries, as well as nonfiction. Secret Santa is your debut in the horror genre. What led you to write a horror novel? After finishing the second Obama Biden Mystery, I joked that I was ready to write something less horrifying than politics. Following politics too closely can be anxiety-inducing! Writing a horror novel felt like a nice break from all of that, a chance to ignore the news for a while. Of course, I had no idea that when I started Secret Santa that 2020 would turn out to be the year the twenty-four-hour news cycle swallowed us all.
