Major Podcast Changes
The Horror Show with Brian Keene started out on the Project iRadio Network. During our second year, we became part of the Project Entertainment Network.
Beginning April 1, (in the midst of our sixth year on the air) The Horror Show with Brian Keene will become the flagship podcast for the new Brian Keene Radio Network, which will also include Defenders Dialogue, Cosmic Shenanigans, and Grindcast, as well as a few forthcoming surprises (a return of Buttercup of Doom, perhaps…?)
Listeners will not be impacted by this change. You’ll still be able to hear episodes of each podcast for free via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, YouTube, Google Play Music, and all other platforms. You’ll also be able to hear them for free on a new 24/7 live-streaming venture (a rebooted and revamped Brian Keene Radio) beginning in April. Old shows will still be accessible, as well. You may notice some changes to the structure of each show — new theme music, new title cards, advertising presented in a different way — but otherwise, it’s business as usual.
The one thing that will change is advertising. Beginning April 1, advertisers can sponsor individual podcasts or take advantage of network-wide savings. Advertising inquiries for any date after April 1 should be sent to thegrindedword @ gmail.com. All other queries should be sent to briankeene @ live.com. If you would like to advertise before April 1, please contact Armand at the Project Entertainment Network.
I would like to personally thank Shelly and Armand Rosamilia of the Project Entertainment Network for the mutual support over the last five years, and a wonderful partnership. I’d also like to thank Thomas Clark who has engineered Defenders Dialogue since its inception. I sincerely look forward to continuing to support all three of them as a listener, as a peer, and as a friend, and I hope that you will continue to support them and their great line-up, as well. They are great people.
I also look forward to this new venture, and hope will, too.

End of the Road - In Stock and Shipping Now
"My name is Brian Keene. I'm a writer by trade and a road warrior by heart. Neither of these things are wise career or life choices. The tolls add up.
Over the last twenty years, things have changed. Book tours have changed, publishing has changed, bookselling has changed, conventions have changed, horror fiction—and the horror genre—have changed. I've changed, too.
The only things that haven't changed are writing and the road. They stay the same. The words we type today are the past tomorrow. Everything is connected like the highways on a map are connected. This holds true for the history of our genre, as well.
I rode into town twenty years ago. Now I'm riding out. You're all coming with me..."
So begins Brian Keene's END OF THE ROAD—a memoir, travelogue, and post-Danse Macabre examination of modern horror fiction, the people who write it, and the world they live—and die—in. Exhilarating, emotional, heartfelt, and at times hilarious, End of the Road is a must-read for fans of the horror genre. Introduction by Gabino Iglesias.
