    079 - Mia Dalia on Beautiful, Once
    Mar 23 2026
    Mia and Jason talk about self-promotion, using fiction and art to communicate, literary horror, short stories, and, most importantly, her newest novel, Beautiful, Once — a character-driven sci-fi horror novel that is brutal but also asks the big philosophical and sociological questions reflective of our times.

    078 - Women in Horror
    Mar 12 2026
    I stand by the need for more men to support women writers, including myself. But how does a man, like myself, go about doing so? I didn't know if this was a good idea, but my gut told me to go with it. And so, here I welcomed Jen from @literarylove123 to moderate this panel of fantastic women horror writers. Both of us worked on the questions, but Jen's experience and intelligence made this show what it is. So a big thanks goes to her.

    In this episode, Jen and I welcome Gwendolyn Kiste, Lindy Ryan, and Sara Tantlinger. We discuss their books, their origin stories, their experiences in the publishing industry, their favourite women horror writers, and what needs to change within the industry for a more accepting and safe environment for women writers.

  • 076 - Logan Spurgeon on Doomsday Cults and Hinterland

    076 - Logan Spurgeon on Doomsday Cults and Hinterland
    Feb 23 2026
    Logan Spurgeon's novel Hinterland is a metaphorical account of his time in a doomsday cult. We discuss his experience in the cult and how it formed into the weird trip that Hinterland is. We also discuss his struggles within that church and his sexuality, the manipulation of belief systems, and some of the odd, maybe supernatural, things he may have experienced as a member of the cult.

    075 - Molting with Kathryn Tennison
    Feb 9 2026
    Kathryn Tennison's debut novel, Molting, is a fantastic ride into madness and the supernatural that's so good you could maybe compare it to some of Shirley Jackson's work. In this episode we discuss that novel, but we also talk about how she decided to write horror, how Pet Sematary terrified her as a child, writing creepy scenes, and our love of dogs.

  • 074 - Radar DeBoard on Everything But The Skin

    074 - Radar DeBoard on Everything But The Skin
    Jan 28 2026
    Releasing a little late because of the situation in the United States this past weekend involving the murder of Alex Pretti. The beginning of this conversation, however, is creepily relevant, though, as it was recorded shortly after the murder of Renee Good, and Radar and I, still stunned, discuss the horrific implications.

    No worries, though! We do move on to talk about movies, TikTok, Instagram, evil witches, writing socially relevant horror, and his recent releases, The Violet Glow Of The Daytens and Everything But The Skin.
