Author Sam Rebelein returns to the podcast, this time to talk to Scotty about his upcoming collection of interlinked stories, "The Poorly Made and Other Things" (February 11, William Morrow Paperbacks), which are all set in the same fictional upstate New York county as his debut novel "Edenville" (2023, William Morrow). Sam and Scotty discuss his process in creating the ever-expanding "Rebel-verse," his influences from R.L. Stine to HBO's "The Leftovers," the horrific possibilities of "illogic" in fiction, what it means to tap into elemental fears as a horror writer, and more.

Sam and Scotty also talk about the surprisingly nasty (and diabolically fun) 2019 anthology horror film ""The Mortuary Collection" (Shudder).
