• 040 - Walking Behind David Surface
    Nov 26 2024
    Thank you to everyone for your patience. Here's my conversation with David Surface. We discuss incorporating real life into your fictional stories, our favourite writers, and his collection, These Things That Walk Behind Me.

    David Surface is the author of two collections of stories, Terrible Things and These Things That Walk Behind Me, and co-authored the novel Angel Falls with Julia Rust. His stories fall into different horror sub-genres: ghostly tales, creature feathers, the weird, and the strange. In this discussion, we discuss how real-life situations and people make it into his fiction, how he approaches writing, co-authoring a novel with his wife, Julia Rust, and what authors and books he enjoys reading.

  • 039 - Cryptid War with Eric S Brown
    Oct 31 2024
    There were some audio issues I forgot to mention before this episode. Eric lives in one of the areas where Hurricane Helene hit, and his internet is still suffering the consequences. It gets worse near the end. I hope that you enjoy despite this issue.
    Eric S. Brown is the author of more than 100 books. He writes in many different genres. I know him from his Bigfoot War books, along with some other cryptid work. But he also writes science fiction, westerns, action adventure, and pretty much everything else. It's a pleasure to be able to sit down and talk with him finally.

  • 037 - The Dark Tower with Syn Pt 6 - Song of Susannah
    Sep 24 2024
    Song of Susannah was difficult to discuss, mostly because of its structure, but Syn and I still had a lot of fun discussing it.

    I first noticed Radar DeBoard on TikTok. He creates fun videos there about horror movies. He also talks about his own writing.

We'll also discuss his favourite horror movies, authors, his horror origin story, and much more.
