Australia’s Master of Literary Darkness Alan Baxter #79
Anyone who can take a cute Kangaroo and make it terrifying has my respect. While ‘The Roo’ is a very entertaining book, Alan’s new book ‘The Gulp’ is riveting. The conversation turned to a discussion on Stephen King’s Castlerock series and how Alan is going to do the same thing with Gulpepper aka The Gulp. We also talk about martial arts since he is a Kung Fu Master and teaches in Australia.
