Sometimes, things suddenly seem like they've become off-kilter, and other times...you realize that they've finally righted themselves...in a completely different direction. Does it ever feel like you are in the wrong place? Body? BRAIN? In this episode, we discuss what happens when the tables are turned on reality, the world is FAR more strange than you would imagine, and it may not even be yours...at all. Two master spinners of the fantastic peel back the curtain, to my everlasting confusion and delight!
In this episode, two disgraced academics defy the warning against an inheritance, and move into a town plagued by its own legacy. Come with me to Whitbrow, and you may find out why no one crosses the river, and why anything that crosses the edge of the forest goes away...forever.
Dirty secrets. Lies. Guilty pleasures...IN LITERATURE! It's all here! (Or, at least, it was supposed to be heh heh.)
In my sophomore interview, New Bizarro Author Series and Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing alum Betty Rocksteady unfurls a whole new world of fear, absurdist horror, and sex with spiders. (Hey...who knows, right?)
It was a total honor to have Shirley Jackson Award nominee and Weird Fiction/Horror Writer Brooke Warra in to talk about her trials and tribulations and what it takes to navigate the tentacle-filled waters of contemporary Horror!
A small tribute, in my way. (I left the audio problems in at the beginning, because it had brought a much needed peal of laughter to me when I had needed it most.)
The printed page is, and has always been, fertile ground for movie adaptation. Sometimes it works...and sometimes it doesn't.
You asked, I answered!
As with all things you discover, some are slow and methodical, and others...raise a hammer. Never has that been more true than in the case of the two books I discuss in this episode!
I agonize over Brendan Daneen's story of obsession and the parasitic nature of a kinship beyond human understanding.
Silver John is one of the finest characters ever to come out of the Weird Tales era of fantasy and horror, and I'm tackling as much of the canon as you can stand!
In this episode, I present Nick Cutter's horrific tale of contract killing and dark gods that walk the face of the Earth...while commenting on the state of Action within the confines of contemporary Horror literature.
The Scooby gang (or some youngsters that look and act like them anyway) deals with the regret and horror from the finest case of their career, and I finally descend into the depths of the Black Books club and the wonders of Fairborn, Ohio and escape unscathed!
