Author and Nightmare magazine editor Wendy N. Wagner joins the show this week to talk about her new novel Girl in the Creek, and to dive into one of Stephen King's most famous short stories, "The Raft." We talk about what Wendy looks for in short fiction, our shared rural childhoods, the inherent spookiness of lakes, and much more! Plus, Matthew's got a story up at Fangoria!
