155 – Stephen King & Writing From the Nerve Endings Talking Scared

Our guest this week is Stephen King.
That’s it. That’s the intro.
Stephen King. The architect of modern horror and the creative north star of my life, and many of yours. He’s on the show, talking about his new book, Holly and why the central character just won’t let him go. We cover his attitude to academia, horror and hope, how his worldview sits with a fractured reality, and we even hear some exciting, exclusive details about some upcoming books.
I lack the words to convey my delight.
Enjoy
