Paula D. Ashe is a writer of dark fiction.  And I mean....dark.  In this episode we talk about what dark horror is, why we like it so much, and about agency, abjection, and the fact that safety is an illusion.  When one is confronted with the embodiment of experience, is self-mutilation an act of transgressive empowerment?  And why does Paula hate faces?  

Paula's new book is entitled We Are Here To Hurt Each Other and is available on Amazon.  Paula can be found on twitter @pauladashe
