Audiobooks From Hell

When I narrated my segment of Glenn Rolfe’s Land Of Bones entitled “Not In Kansas Anymore” for Fireside Horror, Glenn quickly became a favorite horror author of mine.  His punk rock attitude and understanding and deconstructing of Horror tropes contribute to his unique voice in Horror fiction.

On this episode we discuss Land of Bones, Blood and Rain (narrated by Phil Thron and out now on Fireside Horror!), Until Summer Comes Around and much more.

2020 was by all means a crazy year. Full of many ups and downs.

One of my favorite discoveries last year was an impeccably curated “Subscription Box” company called Night Worms. They curate these wonderful monthly boxes specifically for Horror Readers! Each month I look forward to my package of horror delights, and they’ve never disappointed.

Sadie Hartmann (aka “Mother Horror”) joins me on this episode to discuss her company as well as her love for Horror Fiction.
