It has been 2 years since Chris last chatted to international bestselling author Daniel Kraus, and boy is there a lot to catch up on!Daniel is back to talk about his upcoming new release ANGEL DOWN as well as the success of WHALEFALL, including being on the set of the new movie adaptation currently in the works, starring none other than Josh Brolin.ANGEL DOWN synopsis:Private Cyril Bagger has managed to survive the unspeakable horrors of the Great War through his wits and deception, swindling fellow soldiers at every opportunity. But his survival instincts are put to the ultimate test when he and four other grunts are given a deadly venture into the perilous No Man's Land to euthanize a wounded comrade.What they find amid the ruined battlefield, however, is not a man in need of mercy but a fallen angel, seemingly struck down by artillery fire. This celestial being may hold the key to ending the brutal conflict, but only if the soldiers can suppress their individual desires and work together. As jealousy, greed, and paranoia take hold, the group is torn apart by their inner demons, threatening to turn their angelic encounter into a descent into hell.Angel Down plunges you into the heart of World War I and weaves a polyphonic tale of survival, supernatural wonder, and moral conflict.ANGEL DOWN is released on 29th July 2025, and will be available to order from all major retailers and stockists.Be sure to check out Daniel's website and Instagram for all his latest news and updates:Website: www.danielkraus.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/kraus_author#DeadMenTalk #podcast #interview #DanielKraus
Daniel Kraus has never lacked for ambition in his fiction – but Angel Down may be the most audacious horror book of the year. It's the story of broken men and a fallen angel in the trenches of the First World War. Oh … and it's told in one long 300 page sentence. Cos Daniel can. It's not a gimmick, nor pretentiousness. No, this week, you'll hear how the medium is very much the message. As well as our conversation about angels in horror, capturing the particular nightmare of 1914, and all the practical challenge that come with this single-sentence attempt. It's an inspiring episode.

Helloooo people. This morning the Toadcast comes to you from Leith. There were beers and there was a fuckload of incoherent rambling, and it ran way over time but, erm, who really cares? This week I went to visit my crippled friend Steven (v? ph?) Kearney in Leith and we recorded a podcast in his house prattling on about all the usual nonsense. He got all jumpy about sound quality, omitting to mention the fact that the Toadcasts are the most incredibly badly recorded show on the interwaves. Honestly, why would this week be the one single week it suddenly didn't sound like shit? Still, Steven has recently started his own podcast, leading on from his Fresh Air show Dylan and the Mule. It's only one episode down, but it sounds very promising indeed, so with a bit of luck there could be very good things coming from that part of the world this year. Me, I just desperately need a sleep. Night night Toadlings. I will probably be gawping at the wonderful Cybraphon by the time you read this. With a hangover. Toadcast #81 - The Mulecast 01.
