Customer Reviews
The Best
This is hands down the best horror lit podcast around. I’ve found so many of my favorite authors through this show over the years.
This is Horror Podcast
I have been listening to this podcast for three years. It is outstanding. It is a must for anyone interested in horror or dark fiction and getting to know the best writers in the field. Michael and Bob are masterful interviewers who dive deep with their guests, but always in a respectful way. More importantly they both have heart and do an incredible amount of work out of sheer love of the genre. Addendum 2024 and still the best podcast for horror literature interviews
Same ol Same ol
Same guests. Same schpeil. It gets boring after awhile. You can only listen to the same writers say so many things in so many different ways. I give up.
