This week, we had a great time talking with Damien Angelica Walters, whose gripping new novel, The Dead Girls Club, is out now through Crooked Lane Books. We talked to Damien extensively about The Dead Girls Club, the origin of The Red Lady, the benefits of outlining, the importance of female “coming of age” novels, her exciting Work in Progress, and so much more. We had a lot of fun talking with Damien, who is easily one of our favorite writers when it comes to both novels and short stories. Don’t be surprised to see The Dead Girls Club high on our “End of the Year” lists. Shane and I definitely look forward to having her on again in the future. Check out our conversation with Damien now right here on Ink Heist or on your favorite streaming service.

Hey guys, we are back this week with a deep dive into Gothic Literature!  The Gothic casts a long, dark, and creepy shadow over modern horror and has spawned many sub-genres and reinterpretations.  Specifically, we are going to be discussing the "New American Gothic" and how the 1979 film The Amityville Horror breathes new life into Gothic themes. Shownotes: 1:55-  What are we excited about?  Not the Cabin Fever remake, Tyler says it is a Grade A loser.  While he didn't like that, he has finally gotten around to watching The Expanse, which is 100% AWESOME! 3:30-  Mike is very excited about the Nightscape Press Kickstarter for Ashes and Entropy!  It is going to be awesome, with a killer table of contents, and you can read more about it in our interview with the publisher, Robert S. Wilson! 6:00-  Mike promised a review for Silent Garden, but guess what?  He lied.  The review isn't ready yet, but check back soon! 7:30-  The gang at Signal Horizon got a Eullenia, a Thai horror/thriller serial killer series!  It's awesome and you can read more about it here.  Seriously, someone needs to pick this thing up so we can know what happens! 10:30-  You can get some awesome free fiction over at the always excellent Pseudopod Podcast- this week Tyler was really impressed by the Damien Angelica Walters short story "Take a Walk in the Night my Love." 11:15-  Mike encourages all of you to check out Project Gutenberg where you can pick up free, out of copyright, eBooks.  Seriously, if you want to read older books that are out of copyright, do it with Project Gutenberg for free and save your hard earned money for some brand new books put out by the awesome horror authors that you love!   15:00-  Eddie Murphy is funny.  See the whole bit over at Youtube 14:45-  Click here to see some pictures of the real Ronald DeFeo Jr. 18:15-  Mike says "Flying Buttresses."  It is NOT what you are thinking.  Here is a link to the wikipedia article about them. 21:15-  Mike and Tyler discuss the story "The Starry Crown" by Marc E. Fitch.  You can find it reprinted in the awesome collection, The Best Horror of the Year Volume 10.  To listen to the song, head on over here. 22:00-  Talking Southern Gothic, Tyler recommends both Candyman and Skeleton Key as great examples. 29:15-  Mike talks home mortgage interest rates and how things were way way different back in 1979.  Check out this table from Freddie Mac and see how high they were in '79 (11.2%) and how they shot up in the early 80s. 32:00-  Mike talks about This American Life, which he listens to all the time.  Specifically the episode "Crime Scene." 35:00-  The setting of Fright Night was changed to Las Vegas because it was the home foreclosure capital of the US.  Read more about it over at Slant Magazine. 39:30-  TheLitCritGuy is awesome, head on over here to read his analysis of horror through the Marxist lens.  51:45-  Tyler recommends As Above So Below about the Parisian Catacombs.

February is Women in Horror Month. There's no question that there are many talented women writers in weird fiction and Lovecraftian horror, and on this episode, we talk with a few of them: Damien Angelica Walters, Nadia Bulkin, and Gemma Files. With panelists Rick Lai, Pete Rawlik, Joe Pulver, and me, Mike Davis.

A kid in a baseball cap and a Ninja Turtles t-shirt is sitting on the park bench, swinging his legs. The boy stands off to the side until he's sure there are no grown-ups nearby, and then he flops down on the bench, hiding his misshapen left hand while pretending to pick a scab from his knee with the other. Turtle leans forward, the hat's brim turning his eyes to shadow. The boy guesses he's eight, maybe, or close enough. Not too skinny either. The monster doesn't like it when they're skinny. | Copyright 2015 by Damien Angelica Walters. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Baby, baby, baby, you say, and I gobble it up, unaware that every word you say comes with a candy thermometer and you've made me your latest caramel bonbon. | Copyright 2014 by Damien Angelica Walters. Narrated by Gabrielle de Cuir.

I want to be broken, to be shattered, then reshaped into something new. Something with bulletproof skin, eyes that can see in the dark, lungs that can breathe in water as well as air, and an impenetrable heart.

The Unheard Voices of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror panel from Arisia. Catherine Lundoff moderated this panel, with K. Tempest Bradford (standing in for Nisi Shawl), Julia Rios, Trisha Wooldridge, Andrea Hairston, and Victor Raymond. Listening to this doesn't give you the visual cues that people in the room had, so a note up front: Nisi was in the audience, but wasn't up for sitting on the panel. There was an ongoing joke about Tempest being Nisi, and about Nisi being Nalo Hopkinson, who was not at the convention. Awards season!*Lambda finalists include lots of OA members like Nicola Griffith, Sacchi Green, Mary Ann Mohanraj, Alex Jeffers, Alaya Dawn Johnson, The editors and contributors to Ghosts in Gaslight, Monsters in Steam Gay City: Volume 5, Melissa Scott and Amy Griswold, Richard Bowes, Lee Thomas, and more. Full list here: http://www.lambdaliterary.org/features/news/03/06/26th-annual-lambda-literary-award-finalists-announced/*The Nebula nominee list is also out, and lots of OA types are there too, including Sofia Samatar, Nicola Griffith, Ellen Klages and Andy Duncan, Vylar Kaftan, Catherynne Valente, Christopher Barzak, Alaya Dawn Johnson, Sarah Pinsker, Rachel Swirsky, Karen Healey, and Nalo Hopkinson.

They have a website, a podcast, and many promotional and support networking opportunities for members, including organizing group readings and book sale tables at conventions. *WisCon is a feminist science fiction convention held each year at the end of May in Madison, Wisconsin. The Carl Brandon Society and Broad Universe both have strong presences there. *Con or Bust is an organization that raises money to send fans of color to conventions. The Carl Brandon Society administers the funds. *Gaylaxicon and Outlantacon are conventions specifically for the QUILTBAG SF fandom community.

Here is a timeline: http://www.slhuang.com/blog/2013/07/02/a-timeline-of-the-2013-sfwa-controversies/. It has since changed editorial staff and has just put out the first of the new team's issues, which seems to be a lot more favorably received, as evidenced here: http://www.jasonsanford.com/jason/2014/03/the-new-sfwa-bulletin-is-blowing-my-mind.html.*"The Serial Killer's Astronaut Daughter" by Damien Angelica Walters was written partly in response to the SFWA bulletin's sexism. *A Stranger in Olondria by Sofia Samatar came up as an example of a novel by a person of color put out through an independent (not one of the big New York houses--Andrea argued for calling these sorts of publishers independent rather than small) publisher, Small Beer Press. Since the panel, A Stranger in Olondria has won the Crawford Award and been nominated for the Nebula. *Crossed Genres, Twelfth Planet Press, and Papaveria Press are independent presses that publish diverse voices.*Clarkesworld, Lightspeed, Strange Horizons, and Apex are magazines Tempest sees publishing diverse stories.

All of these were mentioned as early examples, but the panel agreed we need more. *Daughters of Earth is a collection of stories by women from the early 1900s to 2000 with accompanying critical essays. This collection is edited by Justine Larbalestier. Andrea wrote a critical essay about an Octavia Butler story in this book. *The Cascadia Subduction Zone has a feature where an established writer recommends and reviews an older work that might be obscure. Andrea and Nisi have both done this. *Lethe Press publishes best gay SF stories each year in Wilde Stories, and best lesbian SF stories each year in Heiresses of Russ.
