Description

What happens when a horror-thriller author refuses to rewrite?


In this episode, Thomas Stewart joins host Mark P.J. Nadon to discuss his novel Allison’s Tears, a ghost story written in just three months — every sentence deliberate, every emotion intentional.


They talk about writing through instinct, finding empathy in fear, and why giving villains depth makes them even more terrifying.
