Author John Fram joins host James Clarke to discuss his debut novel The Bright Lands, a rural queer thriller set in Texas, described as "Friday Night Lights meets Twin Peaks,” and published by Hanover Square Press on July 7.

John explains the importance of the queerness at the center of his story; his experiences growing up in Texas, and its role in his novel; he also explains why he embraced the moniker, “Stephen Queen,” after many comparisons with master horror writer, Stephen King.
