THIS IS HORROR PODCAST PART 1

Five things I should never be asked about (if you’re in a hurry): horror, books, writing, music, climate catastrophe. Bob Pastorella, Michael Michael David Wilson and Dan Howarth didn’t know this until they asked me about all of these subjects … hence this being part one of a long chat. 

Might be things of interest here for newish writers, readers of my horrors, those considering self-publishing, and those with an interest in horror.
