    11 | In Defense of the Dark Arts

    Welcome back to Talk Fiction, the podcast dedicated to entertainment media’s most overlooked underdogs: Fiction writers! I was crazy delighted to host two of my favorite fiction writers and OG Substack friends, Maegan Heil and Wil Dalton, for this petite panel podcast on the ins, outs, and undersides of writing horror stories. Thrill as we talk-tackle the power of genre fusion, the allure of escalation, the pursuit of the perfect twist, and the perils of sharing your unhinged art with your unseasoned loved ones. Plug in (if you dare) for this seasonally appropriate chat, and be sure to indulge in the deliciously dark fiction offered by my esteemed guests at your earliest convenience! maeganheil.substack.com wildalton.substack.com As your esteemed host, I know that podcasts are a big ask of your time and bandwidth.
