The inaugural Ghoulish Book Festival occurred in downtown San Antonio, TX on April 30th and May 1st. If you missed it, do not fear. The panels were recorded and will be released through the podcast—including today's episode of GHOULISH, which features Andrew Hilbert as our moderator and R.J. Joseph, Susan Snyder, Victoria Nations, and Miguel Myers as our panelists for a discussion about the horror cartoons of our youth.

We kicked off the festival discussing the cartoons that made us the way we are today. From Scooby Doo to The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror specials and everything in between. Cereal  was not provided.

John C. Foster is the author of Leech, a noir horror hybrid about a secret government agency's most dangerous weapon. Which is why he joined me on today's GHOULISH to discuss secret government agencies. Yes, we get into men in black talk, but also spooky FBI investigators like The X-Files. It's a fun episode! Give it a listen. I had to upgrade my podcast host plan by an extra $10 in order to upload this episode before the month ended. That's how dedicated I am to bringing you spooky podcasts every week.

To celebrate the release of my new body horror novel MAGGOTS SCREAMING!, I thought it would be fun to do something a little different this week and record a quick Q&A episode about indie horror publishing, body farms, maggot therapy, book piracy, collaborating with Stephen King, screenwriting, decomposition, and whether or not maggots eat ass.
