On today’s show, we forego the usual Great Writers Share format, as we turn off the lights, ignite some candles, place our Jack-o-Lanterns in the windows and invite the monsters in for a special Halloween episode of, what our guests have lovingly dubbed, the Great Writers Scare podcast.The premise is simple. Four horror writers. Ninety minutes of unfiltered time to discuss all things horror writing. But who are these other three writers, you might be wondering. Joining Dan today we have one of our regular co-hosts, sci-fi and horror author, John Crinan, as well as two powerhouses in the horror community. I’m excited to welcome back to the show, the founder and host of the This Is Horror podcast, Michael David Wilson, and to say hello for the first time to his glamorous (but haunting) co-host, Bob Pastorella.In this episode we go deep into:Why do we write horror?Our earliest horror experiencesWhy are we not repulsed by horror?What has 2020 brought to horror, and how has the pandemic shaped writers of the genre?Michael and Bob’s new book, “They’re Watching"Michael and Bob’s collaboration process when writing the bookJohn Crinan’s story as featured on Hawk & Cleaver’s “The Halloween Horrors of Mill Lane” limited seriesThe Other Stories anthology, edited by Daniel WillcocksFind out more about Dan, John, Michael, and Bob:www.danielwillcocks.comhttps://www.johncrinan.com/https://www.michaeldavidwilson.co.uk/https://www.thisishorror.co.uk/about/staff/bob-pastorella/Links from the show:Michael’s Interview on the show: https://pod.link/1473869415/episode/NmM2NWRjMTctZDA3Yy00Y2VlLWI0N2MtMTA5NDMxODQ2MTlmMichael and Bob’s, "They’re Watching": https://books2read.com/u/4A7YGdMichael David Wilson’s, "The Girl in the Video": https://books2read.com/u/b5krzRBob Pastorella’s "Mojo Rising": https://books2read.com/u/m2Mvn7Chuck Palahniuk’s “Guts”: http://readfulltext.blogspot.com/2013/10/guts-by-chuck-palahniuk.htmlLet’s Scare Jessica to Death: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067341/Night of the Living Dead: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063350/Texas Chainsaw Massacre: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072271/Poltergeist: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084516/Stephen King’s “Cujo”: https://books2read.com/u/bQd9XdAn American Werewolf in London: See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
