    Let's Talk Decay with J.R. Blanes

    What would you do if you couldn’t make your art anymore? If you couldn’t write? If you couldn’t cook, or play music, or read? If your creative outlet and passion were taken away? Those are just a few of the horrifying questions I discuss with special guest J.R. Blanes, whose novel Portraits of Decay will make you consider the meaning of art, dark magic, the tension between the Hollywood version of voodoo and the reality, and more! J.R. Blanes is the author of multiple short horror stories, appearing via Wicked Shadow Press, Hiraeth Publishing, Dark Horses Magazine, the NoSleep Podcast, Tales to Terrify and more. His debut novel, the New Orleans-inspired Portraits of Decay, was recently published through Ruadán Books.

    Strange Tales with Daniel Braum

    Who else loves The Twilight Zone? Who else enjoys being plunged into a strange, surreal world? If this describes you, then join me and author Daniel Braum as we discuss strange tales, why we’re drawn to the macabre, and what we wish we saw more of in the horror world. Daniel Braum writes short stories that explore the tension between the psychological and the supernatural. His debut short story collection The Night Marchers and Other Strange Tales was re-released in 2023 in a new edition from Cemetery Dance Publications. His stories have also appeared in many magazines and anthologies including the The Best Horror of the Year Volume 12 edited by Ellen Datlow.

    BONUS ENCORE: The Tinder Chronicles and the Horror and Humor of Modern Dating

    This very special bonus encore episode featuring the horrors of modern dating celebrates the publication of my satirical novel-in-stories, The Tinder Chronicles! First dates can be hell… or hilarious. Dating can be horrible, but the right attitude can turn even the worst date into something memorable. From wannabe rappers to semi-pro golfers, from naughty ventriloquists to unicycle-riding parrot dads, this novel-in-stories showcases the humor of modern dating in over fifty snappy, witty vignettes—most of which are based on true stories. It’s safe to say dating today is very different compared to dating a few decades ago. The introduction of smartphones and dating apps has radically changed how we meet people--and not always for the better. Today’s special guest, Dr. Camille Holiner, and I both met our husbands on dating apps, and we’re here to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of the dating process. We also have a bonus mystery guest who shares some hilarious, horrifying, and spicy stories from his dating app experience!

    Medical Horror with Dr. Spooky, N.J. Gallegos

    Who better to discuss medical and body horror than an emergency medicine physician with a flair for the macabre? N.J.

In 2025, she was nominated for two Pushcart Prizes. She’s also published 2 novels--The Broken Heart and The Fatal Mind, and her latest publications are a fabulous novella called Eat Your Heart Out and a collection called Time of Death (coming May 26, 2026).
