In this episode, we get into the terrifying paranoia, gaslighting, and more in Ira Levin's classic, Rosemary's Baby. Shirley Jackson Award winner R.A. Busby (Words Made of Flesh) joins me for this convo, where we also dive into some of her short fiction as well, and and see how Levin's perils of pregnancy--especially when people around you are trying to make decisions for you about your own body--are still painfully relevent.

This episode I'm joined by Agatha Andrews, writer and host of the She Wore Black podcast, to discuss Neil Gaiman's excellent short story, "The Price," which can be listened for free, with the author's blessing (and hypnotic narration) at the following YouTube link: https://youtu.be/QzxFjfB8Dfk?si=4y9CBQ7srhcXC-l8 (from SIlverFish Creative).

This week I'm joined by Peter Rosch, author and radio show host, for "Studying the Scares," where we talk about why we think certain stories and moments are so effective at scaring us. We kick this topic off with Poltergeist (1982), a movie laden with so many scares to analyze that we had to talk about practically the whole thing.

Cynthia Pelayo sheds light on the original ideas she had for her latest novel, Forgotten Sisters, and changes she made to the story, some larger than others. She also concludes the podcast with perhaps the most humorously timed description of something horribly gruesome that I've ever heard. If you only listen to one podcast episode all year, that would be weird, but I hope it's this one.

Max Booth III and I talk at length about our instant infatuation with the film Love Lies Bleeding, as well as a few other topics we somehow meander into, such as potential cannibals in Indiana, definite cannibals roaming railroad tracks, and my total ignorance about what constitues "nu metal."
