An unconventional Writer of Script, Screen, and Tomes
Big Time Books is the brainchild of ERIC MILLER who gathers with a loose conglomeration of writers and show biz professionals in sinister places (okay, dive bars), where they weave tales of fear and dread about being asked to do free script rewrites and other terrifying subjects. Miller has worked in the entertainment industry for many years as a Screenwriter, Head of Production, Indie Film Producer, Production Manager, Transportation Coordinator, and other fun-filled, low stress jobs.
His screenplay credits include Night Skies, The Shadow Men, Mask Maker and Swamp Shark, as well as the SyFy Channel epic movie Ice Spiders which was said by the Hollywood Reporter to be “…first rate Entertainment” and by Dread Central horror website to “spin a web of mirth and mayhem”, as well as prompting a monologue and parody skit on The Late Show With Craig Ferguson. He also has a few scripts lurking in development including Dog Soldiers II, and has done uncredited rewrites on other produced films. Miller also writes novels, short stories, sappy poems, and tuneless song lyrics. He is a proud member of the Horror Writers Association.
In promotion of his first stand-alone novel he was set to do an interview with me but that deadline has come and passed. Thus I will run this as a backup, as he agreed too… in writing.
ERIC MILLER: I’ll be there Friday. [referencing WonderCon in Anaheim, CA] And I’ll have my “interview” done by then. Or you can just run this:
TIM CHIZMAR: Tell me, what makes “Whatever Happened To Uncle Ed?” a horror novel?
EM: Waffles.
TC: Um, are there killer waffles in the book?
EM: No. There are no waffles at all. There are pancakes in one scene, but no waffles.
TC: Okay. And why is that important?
EM: Not having waffles is pretty horrifying, if you ask me.
TC: So the lack of waffles is what makes “Uncle Ed?” a horror novel?
EM: Yeah. And there’s black magic, an evil sorcerer, and demons that steal souls. They’d steal waffles too, if there were any.
TC: But there aren’t.
EM: Nope. Scared yet?
TC: Terrified.
EM: My job is done, then. Wanna go grab some waffles?
TC: Thanks, but I’ve got to take my hippopotamus to the dry cleaners.
EM: Maybe some other time, then.
TC: Maybe.
And that concludes our interview with Legendary Horror Writer Eric Miller, author of “Whatever Happened To Uncle Ed?”
