Nick Badot contributed the story “The Copper Merchant” to Extremely Weird Splatter.

Badot’s answers to the “Extremely Weird Splatter Written in Authors’ Guts” interview questions are in group three.

“My story has violence, it has torture, it has far too many leeches, but I don’t think any of these things pack a punch without trying to address something. When people are “othered,” they can feel like their existence/baseline behaviour is transgressing against something, breaking some kind of unspoken rule, or generally isolating them from society—it’s a rather unpleasant feeling, and finding ways to overcome it can be empowering. That’s what’s at the core here, I think.”
