Skull Session with Dan Henk

Send us Fan Mail Alex talks with me about his move from Europe, how books taught him English, and how he's now a well-published author living in Brooklyn with over 100 novels and short stories under his belt. That heavy dose of early English language via sci-fi and cosmic horror authors like H.P. Lovecraft and H.G. Wells might have helped craft him into the kind of storyteller we need more of...

Send us Fan Mail Anthony Caro, both a member of the Horror Writers Association and a comic book historian, talks with me about the problems with series like The Walking Dead, which brought the zombie genre back into the mainstream, and why the initially hugely successful MCU is now failing at the box office.

Send us Fan Mail Former real estate mogul, college teacher, studying to be a lawyer, and current author PL Hampton talks with me about his well-researched voodoo novel!

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, I interview new author and former world expert on spiders Jonathan Pruitt about his vampire book The Amber Menhir!

Send us Fan Mail Awesome new to me author (I made that decision after reading his short story contribution to my new anthology (The Never Dead) Ryan C. Thomas. What a story, you are truly missing out if you don't pick that up! Underground creatures that poke holes and ejaculate inside you to soften up the skin! Inbred locals act indifferent and express the mindset of "better you than me&...
