    Chuck Palahniuk’s Haunted and the Horror of Storytelling

    In this episode of the Bleed With Me Podcast, Micaela and Jerbil take on Chuck Palahniuk’s most horrifying novel, Haunted, a collection of horror stories, poems, and interconnected narratives inspired by the legendary literary gathering at Villa Diodati in 1816, where Lord Byron challenged his guests to write their own ghost story. This infamous gathering of Gothic horror writers would spawn Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and John Polidori's The Vampyre. Palahniuk’s cast of characters comes together at a twisted writers' retreat to write the ultimate horror story: the story of their descent into a nightmare of their own making. As the tales pile up, so do the rivalries, sabotage, grotesque acts, and increasingly unhinged attempts to become the author who turns suffering into celebrity. Micaela and Jerbil dig into what makes Haunted such an effective horror novel, from its unconventional structure to Palahniuk’s scathing take on reality TV’s voyeuristic appetite for torment and the horrifying lengths people will go to for fame. Is Haunted a novel, a short-story collection, a literary experiment, or one giant horror story? The answer might be all of the above.

    Jaws Rip-offs & The Rise of Creature Feature Horror

    Sharks, gators, and bears… oh my! This week we’re covering the creature features that transformed animals into monsters. Micaela Superstar and Jerbil take a quick trip through all four Jaws movies before diving into the creature-feature explosion that followed. We’re talking genuinely scary shark-adjacent horror like Orca and Piranha, ridiculous shark rip-offs, killer alligator movies, and the truly unhinged Blood Beach, where the threat is literally killer sand. Some of these movies understood what made Jaws scary. Others just saw a successful horror movie and thought, “What if we did that… but worse?” Join Bleed With Me for a deep dive into creature features, shark movies, animal-attack films, and wonderfully terrible horror films that tried to cash in on the Jaws phenomenon.
