Host Clay McLeod Chapman plumbs the depths of depravity with two of the darkest novels for 2025: Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng by Kylie Lee Baker and rekt by Alex Gonzalez.  Deep fakes, AI, COVID, racism, crime scene cleaners and the dark web are all covered. Trigger warnings galore in this gory and grotesque episode!

Four horror authors. Four indie bookstores. Four snowy New England towns. Join Eric LaRocca (At Dark, I Become Loathsome), Dennis Mahoney (Our Winter Monster), E.K. Sathue (youthjuice) and host Clay McLeod Chapman as they regale you with tales of their recent horror author panel tour.

Horror "den mother" Brian Keene looks back at his decades' long writing career and how it all comes full circle with his zombie apocalypse series The Rising, as well as taking a stand as co-editor of the new Stephen King-inspired anthology The Stand: It's The End of the World as We Know It.

Clay McLeod Chapman is joined by Emily C. Hughes (Horror For Weenies) and Neil McRobert (Talking Scared Podcast) to look back the the terror and trends within horror lit, along with looking ahead to what horrors await us in the New Year.

Horror heavyweights Stephen Graham Jones (I WAS A TEENAGE SLASHER), Josh Winning (HEADS WILL ROLL), Brian McAuley (CANDY CAIN KILLS AGAIN) and Angela Sylvaine (CHOPPING SPREE) weigh in on the heaviest slashers around in this slasher symposium to end all slasher symposiums... until there's a slasher symposium sequel. 

For this Fearmongers we discuss the soul-crunching sojourns of Sofia Ajram's COUPE DE GRACE and Delilah S. Dawson's IT WILL ONLY HURT FOR A MOMENT and how these stories offer a wee bit of catharsis for the reader.

We celebrate the release of the new anthology FEARS: TALES OF PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR with editor Ellen Datlow, along with contributing authors Josh Malerman, Hailey Piper, Dale Bailey and Annie Neugebauer.
