One of the biggest inspirations for my career was the two volumes published by Avon Books in the early 90s from author and interviewer Stanley Wiater. The books Dark Dreamers Conversations with the masters of Horror, and Dark Visions: Conversations with the masters of the Horror Film were foundational for me. Featuring two dozen interviews in each book from Vincent Price and Clive Barker to Richard Matheson and Anne Rice. These interviews were some of the best ways we had to learn about the process of turning ideas into produced works of fiction and film.

We talk about Stanley’s origins and memories of recording the history of the horror genre. This is a really fun conversation about horror and science fiction history.
