In this episode of Quills and Chills, I welcome back Maryland-based horror author Dan Franklin. We are diving into Dan's dark and captivating new novel, 'Down Into the Sea,' a unique blend of “Let the Right One In” and “The Little Mermaid.” The story centers around Eric Ross, a troubled teen navigating personal struggles and a dangerous friendship with a mysterious, predatory mermaid. Delve deep into themes of desire, loss, and the complexities of human and supernatural relationships. Our conversation covers character development, the psychological horror of the unknown, and the emotional weight carried by coming-of-age stories. 

Don't miss out on insights into Franklin's creative process … and the potential for a sequel.
