The Horror Show with Brian Keene

Brian and guest co-host Stephen Kozeniewski sit down with Michelle Garza and Melissa Lason -- the Sisters of Slaughter -- to discuss what it's like for twins to collaborate, their influences, their "sudden" success, the unique challenges facing a new generation of women in horror, the mentorship of Ronald Kelly, and much more. Then, back in the studio, Dave and Phoebe discuss the 2018 Splatterpunk Award nominees, the Stoker Awards final ballot, and Rob Zombie's plans to resurrect The Devil's Rejects.

Brian, Dave, and Mary offer a remembrance and career retrospective of Jack Ketchum, and how his works, his kindness, and his humility impacted, influenced, and changed the genre forever.
