About this listen

 Author Michael David Wilson joins Weird Reads to explore his new novel, Daddy’s Boy.
In this episode, we dive into the craft behind Wilson’s emotionally raw thriller, the boundaries of genre, and his personal journey navigating depression, anxiety, and impostor syndrome. We go beyond the scares to discuss authenticity, mental health, and resilience in horror writing. If you love character-driven horror with psychological depth, you’ll find this conversation both moving and thought-provoking. In this episode, we cover:
  • What defines horror beyond genre labels
  • Wilson’s honest reflections on mental health
  • How resilience builds in creative work
  • Behind-the-scenes of writing and publishing Daddy’s Boy
