Raven sits down with investigative journalist and bestselling nonfiction author Sally Denton for a conversation surrounding longform investigative storytelling, narrative nonfiction, and her book “The Colony: Faith and Blood in a Promised Land.”

A former investigative reporter and author of nine nonfiction books — including multiple New York Times Editors’ Choice selections — Sally discusses her transition from journalism into book writing, the research process behind uncovering deeply layered stories, and the responsibility that comes with reconstructing real-world tragedy through narrative.

The discussion centers on “The Colony,” which examines the shocking murders and violent history surrounding a prominent Mormon family living within a fundamentalist community in Mexico.

Now CHAPTER TWO on Dreadfully Yours Podcast! 🖤📖

This chapter of Dreadfully Yours features returning guest J.L. Hyde — one of my earliest and most frequent author conversations over the years.

For this release, I’ve combined and remastered multiple conversations into one immersive chapter exploring Hyde’s dark and emotionally driven storytelling, including discussions surrounding “Delta County,” “Underground,” "Summer of '99," and "Magnolia Court.

This episode also feels especially meaningful to me because these conversations were part of the foundation that eventually grew into Dreadfully Yours itself.

If you love psychological suspense, atmospheric mysteries, flawed characters, and conversations about the craft of dark storytelling, Chapter Two is waiting for you.

Find more about Hyde at www.JLHYDE.com, or get her books on Amazon.

🎙️ Dreadfully Yours: Conversations with Dark Storytellers

From chilling novels and psychological thrillers to horror, film, true crime, and the art of storytelling itself, Dreadfully Yours is a podcast that invites listeners into conversations with the minds behind the stories that stay with us.

Hosted by author, audiobook narrator, and podcaster Raven Rollins, each chapter blends cinematic narration with intimate discussions exploring fear, creativity, obsession, grief, suspense, and the human experiences woven into dark storytelling.
