To celebrate Women In Horror Month, Sideways Boulevard is joined by 3 of the 5 female authors involved in "Black Buttons Vol. 3: A Family Affair," published by Magnificent Cowlick Media. Shelby Dollar, Denise Johnson, & Amelia Gorman discuss what it's like to be a woman horror writer in a Stephen King world. Plus they talk about the amazing stories they wrote in Black Buttons Vol. 3, and what's coming in their future as writers of dark fiction.

The muse strikes artists in many ways. For John Kelley in Kansas City, his muse guides him to the beauty found in death and the rituals surreounding. He sees the touching humanity involved with the respect paid to those who have passed. And he can find a playful quality within the macabre. His paintings, drawings, multimedia works, and antique/junque store discoveries create a tapestry of dark art in Booth 1313 at Metcalf Antiques in the Kansas City area. Mark talks with him about art, death, creativity, working in theatre, and how a booth in an antique mall sells more art than at gallery exhibitions.
