Horror Humor Hunger

Horror is an incredibly diverse genre, and it’s able to carry the weight of both unbelievable fear and incredible catharsis. Through horror, we can explore what makes us uncomfortable in a safe, secure way. Join me and USA Today Bestselling author Rachel Harrison as we dissect the power of horror, her fantastic books, and even her novel-inspired sense of style!

Most people assume you consume horror to lose your faith… but what if horror could actually help you find your faith, while shedding light on the human condition in a very profound way? That may sound like a heavy weight to carry, but trust me, the horror genre is up for the challenge. Join me and Reverend Joe Haward as we discuss the deep significance and importance of the horror genre to both religion and the world at large.

Horror is way more than gore and slashers--there’s nuance, there’s angst, and there’s even… pink horror? That’s right! Author Wendy Dalrymple joins me to discuss pink horror, the Gothic genre, and her newest novel, Credenza.

Adapting a book for film is one thing, but what about adapting a film into a… recipe?

The imaginative and highly creative Richard Sargent, an award-winning actor, director, producer, playwright, and filmmaker, joins me to discuss the tasty side of horror. He’s always had an interest in ‘creative cooking,’ which we at Horror Humor Hunger absolutely love. He’s the author of THE HORROR MOVIE COOKBOOK: 60 DELICIOUSLY DEADLY RECIPES INSPIRED BY ICONIC SLASHERS, ZOMBIE FILMS, PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS, SCI-FI SPOOKS, AND MORE, and he’s got some devilishly delicious dishes up his sleeve.
