Horror Hangover Cass Clarke & Ry Bradley

This time, Ryan puts Cass in the interviewee spot -- digging into their upcoming horror novella debut, The Caretaker. Please be gentle with this one as it contains lots of thoughts about the horrors of grief.
Synopsis: Cara, an overworked ICU nurse, could think of one million other things to do than sort through her dead mother's house. Still, she's here -- cleaning a home she thought she abandoned long ago. Of course, it doesn't take Cara long before she stumbles upon her mother's buried secrets and becomes curiously stuck with a haunted hospice bed. Roping in her ride-or-die cousin Dylan and witchy ex-girlfriend Beth into the proceedings, Cara unwittingly drags her beloveds into a gauntlet of horrors.

Join us, dear listener, as our co-host Ryan C. Bradley interviews Ashley Deng about her upcoming novella from Tenebrous Press, DEHISCENT!
 
Synopsis: As the world's climate swings rapidly between oppressively hot and freezing cold, the remnants of civilization huddle in small communities to scrape together what they can to survive.
All except the Zhu family.
Yi has lived in her ancestral house her entire life, sheltered and safe from the scarcity that plagues her community. Her family enjoys a secret life of running water, electricity, and an abundance of food.
But as Yi seeks a way to share their fortune, she learns the terrible secret of the Zhu house.
DEHISCENT is an Eco-Horror tale of a future that has practically arrived, and the humanity that lurks in the most inhuman of places.

Danger Slater joins us this month on the pod to discuss his latest book -- House of Rot -- coming out from Tenebrous Press on June 14!
 
Synopsis:
The pink mold growing on the walls isn’t the worst thing about Elenya and Myles’ brand-new fixer-upper. There are also the inexplicable footsteps in the night; the sealed-over windows and doors; the neighbor that hears their screams but can’t be bothered to help. Soon, there’s no leaving at all. No hope of cleaning. And that encroaching mold? It’s practically become a second skin. Welcome to the House of Rot. You’re never getting out.
