Show Notes

In this episode, we have a great conversation with horror author Gwendolyn Kiste! We discuss the great work she's done with her blog and the importance of leveraging privilege to continually work toward equity in publishing. We talk about her writing but we also reminisce about the old days of recording favorite shows on VHS!

Our selection for literary discussion this month is the short story The Lady of the House of Love  by Angela Carter. We absolutely love this decadent gothic tale. Listen along to discover what this story and the film The Love Witchhave in common.

Show Notes

In this episode, we have a great conversation with crime author Kerry K. Cox, whose new novel Money Bear: A Nick Tanner Crime Thriller is out now!  We talk about his path from marketing to writing novels, as well as his life long interest in animal rescue and forest rangers. We also discuss the differences and intersections between crime and horror fiction.

Our book pick for discussion this month is My Sister the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite. Is it horror? Is it crime? Do characters need to be likable? Tune in to find out.

Show Notes

New year, new look, new music!

We had such a great time celebrating three years with our live podcast webinar, co-hosted by the talented Kathryn E. McGee, horror author and moderator of the Thing in the Labyrinth horror book club via The Last Bookstore as well as the Skeleton Hour webinar series via the Horror Writers Association. We discussed the early days of the show and shared our vision for the podcast’s evolution in 2021.

We were delighted to welcome several surprise pop-in guests—authors who’ve been particularly supportive of us and the show over the years. Special thanks again the following authors for sharing their time and generously giving away a book!

We were also delighted to be joined by Heather Scheeler, the incredible writer, artist, creator, and friend who designed our wonderful new podcast logo! We had so much fun collaborating (by which we mean, word-vomiting all our ideas in Heather’s general direction and her somehow using all that to create the gloriousness that is our new look!) with her on our podcast rebrand. Make sure you check out her art Instagram as well as The Mountain Practice—a really exciting project she will be kickstarting later this summer!

And finally, an ENORMOUS thanks to all of you: our listeners. When we started this show we thought one or two people might listen. Three years and two awards later, you’ve proven us very wrong. Thank you from the very depths of our heart. Here’s to many more years to come!

Stay dark & stormy.
