Show Notes

We are delighted to bring you this conversation with Michael David Wilson. This is our second time bringing MDW onto the show, so if you’d like to get more of a peek into his early writing life (we’re talking ALL the deets on “James and the Chocolate Tree”), his religious upbringing, and founding This Is Horror, then head back to LOTF 22 where we get into all that.

In this episode, we launch right into the present timeline with a discussion on technology in parenting, social media privacy breaches as the new home invasion, possessed children's toys and so much more. We were thrilled to have Michael back onto the show to celebrate his INCREDIBLE novella The Girl in the Video, out now from Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing.

Show Notes

We are so excited to bring to you our conversation with Brian Keene. As our listeners will be well aware, Brian writes novels, comic books, stories, journalism, and other words for money. He is the author of over fifty books, mostly in the horror, crime, and fantasy genres. His 2003 novel, The Rising, is credited (along with Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead comic and Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later film) with inspiring pop culture’s recurrent interest in zombies. He has written for Marvel, DC, and several other media properties. In addition to several other impressive career accomplishments, Keene also hosts the popular podcasts The Horror Show with Brian Keene and Defenders Dialogue, both of which air weekly on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, YouTube, and elsewhere.

In this down-to-earth conversation with one of horror's greatest living legends, we discuss the persistence of imposter syndrome, the ever-changing horror landscape, and why it's important to write a bunch of terrible shit. There are plenty of laughs (and maybe a couple dirty jokes) and you're in for a real treat.
