    EP 27 With Daniel Braum

    On this episode, we are very excited to welcome back author Daniel Braum (see episode 18).   Daniel Braum writes “strange tales” in the tradition of Robert Aickman. His stories, set in locations around the globe, explore the tension between the psychological and supernatural. He is the author of the collections Underworld Dreams, The Wish Mechanics: Stories of the Strange and Fantastic, and Yeti Tiger Dragon.  The all-new Cemetery Dance Publications edition of his first short story collection The Night Marchers and Other Strange Tales is out May 19th. Cemetery Dance Publications will be releasing his novella The Serpent’s Shadow in Fall 2023. We talk to Daniel about the re-release of his first short story collection, The Night Marchers and Other Strange Tales. Daniel tells us how it was to revisit these stories and about the gorgeous cover that Dan Sauer created for it. We ask about his hope for the collection. We pick Daniel's brain about changes in the industry that he has seen since this collection first came out. We also chat about story revisions, story endings, and other areas of rewrites that are challenging. We asked Daniel about the reoccurring elements of water and music in his work, the answers may intrigue you. We asked how Daniel creates such rich settings and characters and joins them together for some unforgettable stories. We discuss the power of the liminal space between the supernatural and science and the human condition. Daniel reads from Music of the Spheres, the opening story of the collection. Daniel Braum can be found here: https://bloodandstardust.wordpress.com/ and on his Amazon Author Page.

    EP 25 With Jeff Wood

    On this episode, we are joined by author Jeff Wood. Author Jeff Wood lives in Colorado Springs, where he spends way too much time staring at the night sky, and a little too much time watching baseball. His stories have appeared in over 30 publications such as Boston Phoenix, New York Press, Wild Musette, Fiction at Work, Bright Desire, The Greyrock Review, Bellowing Ark, and Java Journal. He has a children’s play included in the anthology CHILDSPLAY, in the company of such authors as Sam Shepard and Maya Angelou. This was recorded near the time of Mardi Gras and Jeff shares a harrowing tale of his experience there during his younger years. Jeff tells us about the sub-genre, suburban horror, in which he writes most of his stories. The feeling that there are deeper and maybe nefarious things going on under the veil of conformity. How the menace in everyday things influences his writing. Jeff shares his experience of his story A Trick of Light being dramatized on the No Sleep Podcast and this leads to an interesting discussion about horror theatre. The pandemic gave birth to many new technologies and vehicles for storytelling. Jeff shares that one of his biggest pleasures is planning his day around his writing and setting word goals for himself. Jeff co-hosts a virtual short critique group for the Denver Horror Collective, as well. Jeff read from his short story Dandelions about raising daughters in a time of monsters.

    EP24 with P.L. McMillan

    The Burial Plot returns! Welcome back after our unavoidable hiatus, but we are still ALIVE! In this episode, we sit down with author P.L. McMillan whose works have been known to cause rifts in time and space itself... Well, not quite. But writing often makes her feel that powerful.  With a passion for cosmic horror and sci-fi horror, P.L. McMillan sees every shadow as an entryway to a deeper look into the black heart of the world, meant to be discovered and explored. Infatuated with the works of Shirley Jackson, H.P. Lovecraft, and Ridley Scott, her dream is to create stories of adventure, of chills, of heartbreak, and thrills.  P.L. lives in Colorado, with her large selection of teas, her husband, and her two chinchillas (Sherlock and Spuds) – all under the supervision of their black cat overlords, Poe and Zerg. We discuss her first foray into editing with the HOWLs' Society anthology, Howls from the Dark Ages. P.L. tells us about the feeling of being a "gatekeeper" and other challenges and triumphs of her experience. P.L. has had a very busy few months and her debut collection, What Remains when the Stars Burn Out, is available now. In addition, her debut novella, Sisters of the Crimson Vine is available for preorder. We discuss the themes of Sisters of the Crimson Vine and that feminist horror is often misunderstood. This leads down a brilliant path of discussion about feminism in horror and the way women's bodies and sex are used in the genre. P.L. gives us a taste of her debut novella with a reading! Brenda describes Sisters of the Crimson Vine as literary folk horror and that fits it perfectly. It is a well-written and creepy tale, order your copy today! Find P.L. McMillan at: https://www.plmcmillan.com/ Or on Twitter @authorplm P.L.

    EP 23 with EV Knight (Trigger Warning SA)

    Trigger Warning - SA In this episode, we are so very excited to visit with author EV Knight. Our hosts had the pleasure of meeting and hearing EV read from her latest release at this past StokerCon in Denver.  EV Knight is the author of the Bram Stoker Award-winning debut novel, The Fourth Whore. She released her sophomore novel, Children of Demeter, as well as a novella, Partum, in 2021. This year, her novella Three Days in the Pink Tower published by Creature Publishing was released in July. She also has stories featured in several various anthologies this year.  EV lives in one of America’s most haunted cities—Savannah, GA. When not out searching for the ghosts of the past, EV can be found at home with her husband Matt, her beloved Chinese Crested Gozer Augustus, and their three naughty sphynx cats. EV shares with us the why of writing in the horror genre, what her creative process looks like, and her favorite part of writing. We wanted to know about her stellar work ethic and how she stays so amazingly productive. Three Days in the Pink Tower is based on the horrible real-world experience that EV had as a seventeen-year-old. She shares the details of that harrowing encounter and how it inspired and influenced her latest work and life. We talk about the power of women writers re-telling familiar horror tropes that revolve around women’s bodies and trauma. Perhaps, EV has created a new type of final girl, where we get inside the mind of the final girl rather than simply witness her reacting. The novella uses the tarot as inspiration and character. EV shares her ideas about using tarot in the book and for storytelling in general. EV reads an expert from Three Days in the Pink Tower. Next up for EV is her retelling of Dracula from a female Renfield's perspective and a foray into screenwriting!

    EP 21 with Jon Bassoff

    Jon Bassoff is the author of nine novels. His mountain gothic novel, Corrosion, has been translated into French and German and was nominated for the Grand Prix de Litterature Policiere, France’s biggest crime fiction award. His psycho-noir novel, The Disassembled Man, has been adapted for the big screen with a filming date set to begin within the next hundred years. He also wrote the screenplay for Bizarre Love Triangle, which was named a semi-finalist at the New York Cinematography Awards and a finalist at the Seattle Film Festival for best short film.   His work has been featured several times in New York Magazine and has garnered the attention of fellow authors such as Craig Johnson, author of the Longmire series, SA Cosby, author of Razorblade Tears, and Paul Trembley, author of A headful of ghosts, and many others.  For his day job, Jon teaches high school English where he is known by students and faculty alike as the deranged writer guy. He is a connoisseur of tequila, hot sauces, psychobilly music, and flea-bag motels. His latest novel Beneath Cruel Waters from Blackstone Publishing is available now. We asked Jon about breaking down Gothic Noire, as his writing has been described and how those influences show up in his work. We also ask Jon about reoccurring themes that show up in his writing. Brenda and Joy try to unpack the impact that Beneath Cruel Waters has had on both of them. We discuss the themes, the deep characters, the well-played twists, and the devasting beautiful darkness of the novel. Jon shares his experience with writing screenplays and behind the scenes of making novels, or not, into movies.

    Ep 20 with Jo Kaplan

    On this episode we are thrilled to have author Jo Kaplan aka Joanna Parypinski.  Jo is the author of more than twenty short stories and several novels, co-chair of the LA chapter of the Horror Writers Association, and an English professor. She also writes under the name Joanna Parypinski. Her fiction has appeared in Fireside Fiction, Nightmare Magazine, Black Static, Vastarien, Nightscript, Haunted Nights (ed. Ellen Datlow & Lisa Morton), and Bram Stoker Award-nominated anthology Miscreations: Gods, Monstrosities & Other Horrors. She lives with her husband and cats in Los Angeles. We ask Jo the reason for the two names and chat about the general use of pseudonyms by women in the horror genre. This moves us on to the topic of the exciting rise of diverse prospectives in horror. We talk about the writing and enjoyment of Horror Poetry; how it creates an excellent venue to plumb the darkness in ways different and maybe more effective than a short story or novel. Particularly, the power of imagery and symbolism to create pieces that literally haunt the reader. We talk about her short story, In Dark Corner and Neglected Places which appears in Three Crows Year Two: Anthology of Weird Science Fiction and Fantasy, and the broader topic of folklore and diverse cultural viewpoints in horror. Jo tells us about the reoccurring theme that has prevalent in most of her writing and gives us some deep things to consider. In discussing her soon-to-be-released novel, When the Night Bells Ring, we explore the responsibility of the horror genre to address existential horrors such as climate change and deadly pandemics. Jo reads to us from her short story, Her. House. that can be found in Horror Library 7.
