This week, Patrick and Tracy welcome Derek Kunsken – author of THE HOUSE OF STYX.

About THE HOUSE OF STYX: Life can exist anywhere. And anywhere there is life, there is home.

In the swirling clouds of Venus, the families of la colonie live on floating plant-like trawlers, salvaging what they can in the fierce acid rain and crackling storms. Outside is dangerous, but humankind’s hold on the planet is fragile and they spend most of their days simply surviving.

But Venus carries its own secrets, too. In the depths, there is a wind that shouldn’t exist.

And the House of Styx wants to harness it.

About Derek Kunsken: Derek is a science fiction, fantasy, and sometimes accidentally, horror writer. He writes and reads both novel-length and short fiction, with a preference for works that explore really strange places and people.
