A Slice of Cake With... Kayla Krantz

Kayla is a proud author, responsible for a number of novels in the genres dark fantasy, psychological horror, and supernatural thriller. She is fascinated by the dark and macabre. Stephen King is her all-time inspiration, mixed in with some faint remnants of the works of Edgar Allen Poe. When she began writing, she started in horror, but somehow drifted into thriller and fantasy. She loves the 1988 movie, “Heathers.” Kayla was born and raised in Michigan but traveled across the country to where she currently resides, in Texas.

What kind of stories do you write?

Chilling and disturbing. Books that keep you on the edge of your seat and have you questioning human nature.

Can you describe your writing why?

I am motivated to write by the need to create. There are stories in me that need to get out.

Share with us your favourite passage from the book you enjoyed writing the most

From my debut novel, Dead by Morning:

There was something wrong about him. Something that separated him from all the other teenage boys and made him a danger to the people who called him ‘friend.’

Tell us about your latest project

I launched my first ever contemporary suspense piece, What I Did, at the beginning of August. What I Did discusses the issues in modern society through the eyes of a millennial, things such as mental illness, active shooter situations, and toxic masculinity. When the main character, Jess, is caught in an active shooter situation, her only way out is to kill the shooter. From there, she’s forced to face her own darkness and figure out what it means to her and those around her.

What is your favourite cake?

Strawberry Shortcake.
