    078 - Women in Horror
    Mar 12 2026
    I stand by the need for more men to support women writers, including myself. But how does a man, like myself, go about doing so? I didn't know if this was a good idea, but my gut told me to go with it. And so, here I welcomed Jen from @literarylove123 to moderate this panel of fantastic women horror writers. Both of us worked on the questions, but Jen's experience and intelligence made this show what it is. So a big thanks goes to her.

    In this episode, Jen and I welcome Gwendolyn Kiste, Lindy Ryan, and Sara Tantlinger. We discuss their books, their origin stories, their experiences in the publishing industry, their favourite women horror writers, and what needs to change within the industry for a more accepting and safe environment for women writers.

    076 - Logan Spurgeon on Doomsday Cults and Hinterland
    Feb 23 2026
    Logan Spurgeon's novel Hinterland is a metaphorical account of his time in a doomsday cult. We discuss his experience in the cult and how it formed into the weird trip that Hinterland is. We also discuss his struggles within that church and his sexuality, the manipulation of belief systems, and some of the odd, maybe supernatural, things he may have experienced as a member of the cult.
