Epidemiology Meets Terror – A Conversation with Viggy Parr Hampton

In this electrifying episode, host Rob Southgate sits down with the multi-talented Viggy Parr Hampton, MPH — a horror author, epidemiologist, podcast host, and digital storyteller who's redefining what it means to be a modern horror writer.

Known for titles like A Cold Night for Alligators, Much Too Vulgar, and The Rotting Room, Viggy brings an analytical eye and biting humor to her stories. She talks about how her background in public health shapes her unique brand of horror fiction, why humor and fear go hand-in-hand, and how her projects like the podcast Horror Humor Hunger and YouTube’s Tag Team Tales of Terror are pushing the genre in exciting new directions.
