222 – Clay McLeod Chapman & Oh My God, What Have I Done?
Welcome back and Happy New Year. 2025 looms ahead. Frightening. Uncertain. Crazy!!
Our first guest of the year has written the book that best captures this mad future we’re living in. Clay McLeod Chapman returns to Talking Scared, to talk about Wake Up And Open Your Eyes – his new novel of mass demonic possession, transmitted through poisonous media, and the destruction of families and communities.
It’s… disturbing.
It’s also gross as hell. Deliciously so. And we talk about that urge for the the ick! As well as his motivations in writing this book, his anxiety over releasing it, and the sadness that underlies our political echo chambers.
It’s a hell of a way to kick off a wild, weird year.
