In this episode of Horror Junkies, Mike sits down with USA Today bestselling author Kosoko Jackson to discuss his chilling new novel, The Macabre, his highly anticipated adult horror debut releasing September 9, 2025.

Blending dark fantasy, gothic terror, and globe-spanning mystery, The Macabre is a nightmare of art, obsession, and unspeakable horrors. Jackson pulls back the curtain on his creative process, sharing how his work across genres shaped this descent into horror, and how history and art bleed into his storytelling.

We explore the deeper themes of the book—power, legacy, beauty, and dread and why The Macabre feels less like a novel and more like a haunting experience you can’t escape.
