Scarewaves, Siren Head, and more with Trevor Henderson
Where do our fears come from? For some of us, it’s past experiences… others, maybe a fear of the unknown… but if you're anything like the team at Unspookable, there is one man responsible for many of the characters, illustrations, and creatures, be it Cartoon Cat, Anxious Dogs, Long Horse, or Siren Head, that give us the shivers. We’re of course talking about writer and illustrator Trevor Henderson who sits down with Unspookable producer Nate DuFort this week to talk about where these ideas come from and his new middle grade novel Scarewaves available now from Scholastic Books. That and more on today's episode of Unspookable.

Customer Reviews
Dude...
Some episodes are so philosophical like a glitch in the matrix. But be a little more friendly bc the five nights at Freddy’s episode cuz I don’t like the bite of 87 😬 it gives me the hibby jibbes. Also, can you do one on the Mimic? (Roblox)
Great
My 6 year old LOVES this podcast. He listens to each episode multiple times. He likes anything spooky, so this is perfect for him.
Thanks
Thank you so very much for this wonderful podcast but I would like to hear an episode about the creepy moments when you ask yourself why you’re living
