Sadie Hartmann (AKA "Mother Horror") is the co-founder of Night Worms, and today she was kind enough to tell me its origin story. Also, stay tuned for the end, when I talk about the one and only time I've ever been fishing. Spoiler alert: it was stupid and terrible.

Jonathan Raab (author of Camp Ghoul Mountain Part VI: The Novelization) is a master of experimental horror fiction. Today he was kind enough to join me for a discussion on the found footage horror genre, including recommending some of his favorites and also analyzing the mistakes these films often make. His new short story, "Huntin' Them Hills with Joel and Big Howie", is a perfect example of the found footage genre done right. Read it in Dark Moon Digest Issue #38, available now.

Matthew M. Bartlett (author of Gateways to Abomination) hates happy endings. In this week's episode of Ghoulish, we got together and discussed why pessimism rules and optimism drools. Films and stories referenced: A Dark Song, The Mist, The Witch, and "The Rats in the Walls"—and yes, we absolutely had to hit the brakes for a quick conversation about Lovecraft's cat. Yikes.

ALSO: There's a reason Morgan Freeman hasn't narrated a Thomas Ligotti story.

In a special episode of Ghoulish, I--Max Booth, a host--take a break from interviewing guests to answer some questions from the audience. Also, maybe liver tastes pretty good. Who's to say?

Andrew Hilbert (author of Invasion of the Weirdos) has had his fair share of disastrous dentist encounters, which he was kind enough to share with me on today's episode of Ghoulish. Basically, mouths are stupid, stupid things that nobody should actually have, and if they start hurting you should just ignore the pain until you eventually die. Also: how do you remove skin tags, anyway?

John Baltisberger knows everything there is to know about kaiju, and I know absolutely nothing about them. He was kind enough to stop by the show this weekend to school me on old-school Godzilla plots and read kaiju-themed poetry into his little microphone. Also: is it finally time for New York to launch their own 9/11 amusement park?
