It’s a hell of a time for horror stories, and it seems like camp slashers are especially making a comeback. Josh Winning is out with his latest book, HEADS WILL ROLL. Set in a digital detox camp, it’s a story of a sitcom star who gets cancelled for an off-color tweet, who decides to get away from the scandal for a little bit. What she’s not aware of is that this may as well be called Camp Cancelled, and someone out there is carrying a deadly grudge.

Josh is the fourth interview I’ve done since May where the author’s name is Josh, which means I’ll be taking a break from chatting with any more Joshes for a while. Apologies, other Joshes.

This final Josh and I had a great chat about camp slashers, pop culture, getting cancelled, formatting a la Paul Tremblay, the increase in availability of marginalized author’s stories, and more. Oh! We also spent a surprising amount of time discussing the movie Easy Rider.
