Sarah Read (author of The Bone Weaver's Orchard) stopped by the podcast this week to discuss spooky schools, breaking into buildings, ghost tours at the infamous Stanley Hotel, and how to make gothic horror pancakes.

Stephen Graham Jones (author of The Only Good Indians) might as well have a PHD in slashers. In this week's episode, SGJ was kind enough to sit down and talk with me about defining the subgenre, how Scream changed his life, and why horror reboots aren't always a negative thing.

W. P. Johnson (author of The Eight Eyes That Watch You Die) knows more spider jokes than a spider-themed jokebook. He also, coincidentally, penned one of the creepiest horror collections of 2019. In this week's episode, Johnson talks about movie theater anxieties, gnarly body horror, and the time he ruined a potential friendship with Josh Malerman.

Scott Kemper (co-host of the Staring into the Abyss podcast) loves the concept of video games. Personally, video games terrify me. Together, we came up with six solid recommendations for anybody interested in spooky games. Also, why isn't there a Lifetime movie called I Skyped with a Ghost?

A long time ago, a green meteor fell from the sky and landed on The Magnificent Mangum. Now he has supernatural psychic abilities. Today on the show, he was kind enough to perform tarot readings for the following people: Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Stanley Kubrick, Nick Mamatas, and...you, the listener. He also, at one point during the recording, might have gotten possessed by a ghastly ghoul??? Whoops!

Lucas Mangum (author of Saint Sadist) might know more about wrestling than anybody else alive. Well, at least more than me, but that isn't much of an accomplishment, if we're being honest. Either way, he's a funny, talented dude, and this episode was a blast to record. If you have any interest in wrestling and the bizarre storylines they've produced over the years, this podcast is a must-listen.

Jessica McHugh (acclaimed NaNoWriMo veteran) joined me on a new episode of Ghoulish to discuss National Novel Writing Month and offer tips for NaNoWriMo rookies. Other topics include writers' retreats, slash fiction (about Slash), and giving shots to children. We're also celebrating the second edition release of her weird science fiction junkie novel, The Green Kangaroos, out right this second, y'all!

Lori Michelle is the other half of Perpetual Motion Machine, Dark Moon Digest, and Castle Rock Radio, so it's only natural for her to finally make an appearance on Ghoulish. Last night we spent 8 hours selling books at a Tim Burton-themed festival in downtown San Antonio, so today we sat around recapping the event, which included naked body painting, drunk costume contest hosts, and injuring myself while carrying several boxes of books.

Shane Douglas Keene, one half of the Ink Heist review website & podcast, does not have a basement despite going by three names. But he does have at least 300 books, none of which he can actually name. Suspicious? Maybe a little bit. Either way, he was kind enough to come on this dumb show and talk about his history as an indie book reviewer, and for that I am grateful.
