This week is a special one as we are joined by our new co-host, Laurel Hightower! We're excited to have Laurel join the Ink Heist podcast and she'll be joining us when she can in the future. This week, we sit down with author Samantha Kolesnik. Samantha's debut novel, True Crime, comes out tomorrow through Grindhouse Press and it's one you don't want to miss. It's been garnering well deserved praise in the Horror community and is a jaw-droppingly good novel that explores the darkness that lurks within humanity and reminds us a bit of Jack Ketchum's work.  We talked to Samantha about the character-driven nature of True Crime, how to navigate what people want from art, how she connected with Grindhouse Press and the philosophical questions of good and evil. We had a blast talking with Samantha and urge you to pick up a copy of True Crime. Trust us, this is a special novel you don't want to miss.  Check out our conversation with Samantha now right here on Ink Heist or on your favorite streaming service.
