The Horror Show with Brian Keene

In this special encore presentation, Brian talks with legendary author Jack Ketchum, and Thunderstorm Books founder and publisher Paul Goblirsch. Plus, a special message from Gavin Dillinger.

In the midst of being banned, Brian and Dave discuss Grady Hendrix's PAPERBACKS FROM HELL, Prog Power 2017, the box-office impact of IT, a star for George Romero, and the TWIN PEAKS finale. Plus, remembrances of Len Wein and Matt Molgaard.

On location, David Barbee and Karl Fischer sit down with Brian and Mary for a hilarious and revealing discussion on the borders between bizarro, horror, and other literary genres. Meanwhile, back in the studio, Dave and Phoebe cover Stephen King's fight to recover his rights, the forthcoming third season of True Detective, and The Exorcist director's real exorcism.

Brian, Dave, and Mary discuss the Dark Fuse bankruptcy filing, the declining American box office, Marvel Comics' plummeting sales, and what they might mean for the entertainment economy -- and the genre. If 2018 promises a new recession, what can writers, artists, filmmakers and other creators do to prepare for -- and survive -- it? Plus: a Tobe Hooper remembrance, and Ellen Datlow responds to ST Joshi's nonsense.
