We on a bit of hiatus for January as we prepare for our three year podcast anniversary and our 2021 podcast line up. We're reformatting the show for the new year and can't wait to share more on that soon! In the meantime, we're releasing the last of our interviews recorded in 2020.

We also want to point you to our blog space, where we've been posting a lot more written author interviews as well as some reprinted short fiction. For the moment, we are open to fiction reprint submissions, and in particular, we want to raise stories back from the dead. We want stories that were originally published in now-defunct venues.

Currently we aren’t able to pay authors but we want that to change. Therefore, we are hosting a Patreon challenge! When we hit 30 patrons, we pledge pay $25 per reprint. We want to keep increasing what we pay so we foresee another Patreon challenge in our future. Baby steps!

With that said, we've been making some changes to our podcast tiers. We offer cool rewards at every tier, including early, ad-free episodes; bonus written, audio, and video content from special guest authors (this month we’ve got a special video from author Hailey Piper!); and the Patrons-Only podcast LOTF After Dark. Head on over to patreon.com/ladiesofthefright for all the gory details!

One final bit of housekeeping: We are hosting a live three year anniversary special event on Sunday, January 31, at 10:30pm Eastern. We'll be joined by special guest co-host Kathryn E. McGee, horror author and host of the Skeleton Hour webinar series and The Thing in the Labyrinth Horror Bookclub. 

We'll reflect on the past three years, share our vision for the podcast's future, answer questions, and party. New logo reveal + surprise pop in guests + giveaways! Come celebrate three years with us.

Live event on Zoom - register today.

Show Notes

Eddie Generous is the owner of Unnerving, which publishes the popular Unnerving Magazine as well as numerous novellas and short stories collections. Eddie has fallen off three different roofs and been lit on fire on multiple occasions. He grew up on a farm and later slept with his shoes under his pillows in homeless shelters. He dropped out of high school to afford rent on a room at a crummy boarding house, but eventually graduated from a mediocre college. He is the author of several small press books, has 2.8 rescue cats (one needed a leg amputation), is a podcast host, and lives on the Pacific Coast of Canada.

We recorded this interview with Eddie in the middle of 2020, and since then he has announced that the Rewind or Die novella series will continue into 2021! Eddie also has three books coming out this year: Behemoth Risen (Severed Press), The Walking Son (Seventh Terrace), and Hetty (Omnium Gatherum Media).

Show Notes

We are thrilled to bring you this conversation with author, editor, teacher, and overall horror advocate Richard Thomas. Richard spent twenty years in advertising before coming back to writing. Since then he’s been an author, editor, teacher, and publisher. He’s the award-winning author of three novels, three short story collections, two novellas, and over 150 short stories. In addition to teaching at Storyville, he’s also taught at the University of Iowa, LitReactor.com, and Story Studio Chicago.

We really loved this conversation with Richard. If you have any new year’s resolutions to dedicate more time to writing, we can’t think of any better way to commit than to sign up for a class with Richard over at Storyville! There are still spots in his Contemporary Dark Fiction classes. He even has one set for summer, May-Aug on London/UK/GMT time which he’s  never done before. It’s 50% sold so check it out if you’re into it. And he also has one running in September. Head on over to storyvilleonline.com for more info!

Show Notes

In this final episode of 2020, we are delighted to welcome Bob Pastorella back to the show to discuss The Beach House! This December movie chat is officially an annual LOTF podcast tradition. Sadly, 2020 did not see a new Ari Aster film. So we asked Bob what his favorite horror films were this year, and then we did a poll on our twitter. Our listeners asked for The Beach House, and we listened.

Listen. Bob Pastorella is a genius. Seriously. He is so smart. Our discussion of this film wouldn’t be nearly as intelligent without his insightful perception—and his thorough understanding of the genre. We had such a great time talking to Bob about this film to wrap up our 2020 lineup.

Purchase They’re Watching!

Well, folks, somehow, we made it: this is the end of 2020. And what a year it has been, for all of us. No matter how this year was for you personally, we can’t imagine there’s a single one of you who isn’t happy to see this year out the door. A new year isn’t some magical reset button—all of the issues unearthed in 2020 (both within and without our control) are still coming with us into 2021. And still, a new year brings a collective feeling of a “fresh start”, so we plan to take it one day at a time and make the most of what we’re given.

We’re planning a really fun, live three-year anniversary episode event that we’ll be announcing details about very soon! And we’ve got a lot of exciting things planned for the show in the New Year. We can’t wait to share more. Until then, we’ll see you in 2021. May it be a better year for us all. Stay dark and stormy!
