Double the Squonk, double the fun! Join us this week as we bring you Death Coven's first double feature. 

In the first half of this episode, we interview Hal Johnson, author of Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods (and other things). We'll talk mythology, muse about the afterlife, and even manage to smush in a little cryptid discussion near the end. Listen in to hear words from the mouth of the man that puts words into books. 

After our interview, we'll talk about our journey up to Johnstown, PA for Squonkapalooza 2025! Together we'll relive the fun we had and the creepiness we encountered near the Ghost Town Trail. 

To keep up to date with Hal Johnson, visit his frequently updated substack at https://haljohnsonbooks.substack.com/

Go check out Hal Johnson's work wherever books are sold. Look below for some links and details on an ongoing sale!
