On this episode of Talking Strange, host Aaron Sagers speaks with national bestselling author J.W. Ocker about his new novel Welcome to the Ghost Show and his lifelong exploration of the strange.
Ocker is the Edgar and Lowell Thomas Award-winning author of The United States of Cryptids, A Season with the Witch, Cursed Objects, and more. He is also the creator of OTIS, Odd Things I’ve Seen, documenting thousands of eerie and unusual locations across America. In this conversation, we explore haunted houses in fiction, how horror works for younger audiences, and the Stephen King influence on all things horror.
