Kiste is one of the best working today, and has such fantastic insight!

Burn Down Master's House is one of the most vital and important books of the year, and we were truly honored to have Clay Cane on as a guest to talk about it. While not shelved in the horror section, Burn Down Master's House is a book that fits perfectly in with the purpose of literary horror, which is to shine a light on society, to look at the things that are ugly and scary, and to find ways to fight back, to see the truth and to spread that flame as far and wide as possible. Join us for an unforgettable conversation and read Burn Down Master's House as soon as you can.

Erika T. Wurth's The Haunting of Room 904 is a scary, thrilling, and deep story of grief, trauma, and the paranormal.

Wurth is a brilliant writer, professor, and thinker, and this conversation was so interesting and fun.
