My guest for this episode of Necronomicast is best selling author/journalist Bob Reiss! His work has always been inspired by the border between order and anarchy, the moment when peace becomes chaos, order becomes danger and events once considered impossible suddenly turn real.

His journalism has brought him to research and military bases in the Arctic and Antarctica, where he's covered climate change and potential conflict in polar regions, to Sudan, Somalia and South Africa, where he wrote about drought, rebellion and civil unrest, and to the Amazon rainforest where his dispatches about murder and environmental destruction made him a national magazine award finalist.

Bob has advised European politicians on US Arctic policy. He's moderated National Academy of Sciences meetings on disease outbreaks in polar regions. He's accompanied Coast Guard missions on a polar icebreaker and against drug runners off Central America.

Bob's fiction has been called "sparkling and fast paced." (Washington Post) "Dead On!" (People Magazine) "First Rate!" (Rocky Mountain News) "Gripping...Riveting" (Publishers Weekly. "Splendid. Great writing. Great suspense. Great action." (Los Angeles Times). He's appeared on TV shows including Morning Joe, Nightwatch, Nightline, CNN, Dan Rather Reports, Charlie Rose, Good Morning America and Al Jazeera, discussing his work.

Bob's 18 novels reflect the same fascination with order versus anarchy and he is an incredible addition to the growing list of fascinating guests on NECRONOMICAST!

Road Trip time! I packed up the vehicle and made my way to Malvern, Iowa, home of one of the most haunted locations in the United States, MALVERN MANOR. I had a great sit down conversation inside the Manor with the owner of the propertry, Josh Heard. Together, we have a wonderful wide ranging discussion on all things paranormal!
