Dog-eared Nightmares: A Horror Fiction Podcast

A live edition of Dog-eared Nightmares where I interview Josh Rountree about his newest release, The Unkillable Frank Lightning. If you enjoyed The Legend of Charlie Fish there is so much for you to love with this book. It has the same fantastic writing, leap-off-the-page characters, and a fast paced but thoughtful story at its core. Thank you to Ghoulish Books for hosting, and be sure to check out their new location in downtown San Antonio!

Josh Rountree joins me to discuss his Creature From the Black Lagoon-weird Western-crime-witchy novel, The Legend of Charlie Fish. For a shorter novel, it covers a lot of territory and hops genres like a frog on a skillet. We also talk about the ultimate Texas road trip, interesting Galveston hurricane facts, and whether or not Buccee's is worth it. Josh's companion novel, The Unkillable Frank Lightning, comes out in July followed by Summer in the House of the Departed in August. Find Josh at his website: www.joshrountree.com

Apologies for the audio quality on my end. My default microphone swapped to the computer. On this episode of Dog-eared Nightmares, Michael David Wilson of This is Horror joins me to discuss his dark, comedy-action novel, Daddy's Boy. WE talk about utilizing dialogue to move a story forward, dick jokes, and the cultural significance of Naked Attraction.

Becky LeJeune, yes, the Becky LeJeune. Becky is an agent with the Bond Literary Agency. She's been around the industry for a couple decades and brings a world of knowledge to our conversation. We discuss the function of an agent, pitching an agent, doing social media well, and why I'm her favorite client.

Jon Bassoff joined me to discuss his excellent new novel, The Memory Ward. This was my first attempt at live recording at an event and, well, I got part of it. Jon was kind enough to come back onto the show to recreate the magic with me. We talk about how to write "things are not what they seem" fiction, and how The Sixth Sense ruined twist endings for everyone.https://www.jonbassoff.com
