Great stuff, guys. Really looking forward to this new book as I’ve thoroughly enjoyed his others. 20th Century Ghosts has some incredible stories in there.
These two people alone make me feel that this really is horror.
People who watch horror movies, who live in horror, who love horror, do not look like this.
These are morbid scavengers, desperately grabbing onto the meaning of horror because they have no meaning themselves.
I am disgusted.
Great interview Dan. Very fresh line of questions made a good listen! Thanks for sharing
Hello there!
I loved reading about all the classical books and authors still living and past. I look forward to reading more interviews and great book listings and I hope to read one or more of the chapbooks by the authors at this is horror!
