Vampire. Gothic. Horror. Psychological.
Bre creates fiction in three main genres: Gothic, Horror, and Psychological Realism. Her specialty is vampire short fiction, but she has expanded into book-length fiction with her non-romance vampire debut novel, The Vampyre Paladin. Bre describes her creative style as a "mix of Edgar Allan Poe and Anne Rice, with their lyricism and vivid description coming together in a modern marriage of storytelling and mystery."
After a twenty-eight year hiatus due to writer's block (explained as "the curse"), Bre began writing on a short story collection called Heaven and Hell, ten short stories of dark, twisted, and psychological examination of redemption for the innocent and lost redemption for sinners. The first two stories written for the collection were Going Home, a story representative of innocence and heaven, and Road to Hell, the story that drags you down the rabbit hole to hell.
Also created during this resurgence of rediscovery was Bre's first old-style Gothic Vampire short story, The Vampire Dagon. This tale, once finished, completely broke "the curse" that held Bre captive all those years. She considered this story the pinnacle of overcoming her writer's block because it was written in the style she employed before the writer's block took hold. Being able to return to her former style meant that she completely overcame the paralysis that forced her into obscurity. The Vampire Dagon then has a two-fold importance. First, it is Bre's rite of passage, her annointing and baptism into the gothic-vampire genre once again. And, second, it is the inspiration for The Vampyre Paladin's origin story, and thus its prequel.
A future project that Bre's developing now is Flesh and Bones, a modern retelling of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Details will be released soon.
