Killer Mediums

This week Grant Wamack and I discuss EXTREME HORROR. We use Saw, Hostel, Richard Laymon, and Jack Ketchum to talk about loads of controversial, EXTREME stuff, like where authors draw their lines, where readers draw their lines, how to balance both, and what constitutes a good, grisly kill.

Come get spooky with us!
