Author Clay McLeod Chapman has done it all.. short stories, novels, a TON of comics, and screenplays for both indie and big-name films.In this episode, we talk about his wild and winding journey through the horror genre.. from an early indie short that caught Elijah Wood's eye, to co-writing Wendell & Wild with Henry Selick and Jordan Peele, and what a chaotic, drawn-out process making a movie can really be… even when you're working with legends.Then we dive face first into Clay's newest novel Wake Up and Open Your Eyes, which hit us on a deeply personal level. It's a searing, surreal exploration of what it feels like to watch loved ones be consumed and "possessed" by extremist ideologies. We talk about the slow erosion of identity, the horror of misinformation, and how fiction can humanize without excusing.It's honest, emotional, and one of our favorite conversations yet so...COME HANG OUT!!!Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage on all socialsSean: @hypocrite.ink on IG/TikTok, @hypocriteink on Twitter/XEnjoy this episode?

Hey Horror Fans!!!This week on Mostly Horror, Steve and Sean dig into some intriguing horror headlines! They discuss rumors of Robert Eggers possibly directing a Labyrinth sequel with the Jim Henson Company, Bret Easton Ellis casting doubt on the legitimacy of Austin Butler playing Patrick Bateman in a new American Psycho project, and some surprising CGI updates to Alien: Romulus for its physical release.Then, they sit down with the incredible Eric LaRocca to discuss his chilling new novella At Dark I Become Loathsome. Eric opens up about the catharsis of horror, how long-held fears like cancer and mortality evolve into recurring themes in his work, and why he's fascinated by the monstrous things humans do to one another. They also dive into his influences, from Clive Barker to Universal Monsters, and the delicate balance between beauty and depravity in his storytelling.Finally, Eric takes on the Spook'em Scare'em Starter Kit with some delightfully twisted prompts inspired by giallo, monsters, and more!This episode is incredibly insightful, unsettling, and a whole lot of fun so...COME HANG OUT!!!Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage on all socialsSean: @hypocrite.ink on IG/TikTok, @hypocriteink on Twitter/XEnjoy this episode?

Preorder HereAt Dark, I Have HopeIt may seem like a contradiction that someone who can write such brutal things is such a lovely and sweet human being, but I think that in this episode, we tapped into a possible reason that it's not a contradiction at all that Eric Larocca will destroy you with the most stark and frightful words, and smother you with happy thoughts when you talk to him. The truth is, we all have these dark, extreme thoughts in our minds. We have all been driving down the road and envisioning that moment where we intentionally swerve into oncoming traffic to disastrous results. It lives in all of us, these intrusive thoughts. It's what we do with those thoughts that speaks to our character. And I'd argue that it's terrifically healthy to take these thoughts that we all have, and to have a discussion about them, or to cause ourselves or others to think about them, and to understand them, and to process them. So, while a story like this book tells isn't necessarily for everyone all the time, it's a crucial story to be told, and nobody is doing it better than Eric does. And while we originally planned to talk about a book with a plot about a character that performs live burial rituals to give hopeless people a chance at rebirth, what we ended up talking about was far more human, and far more healing, and it was still about this book, because I think at the heart of this story is someone who hurts so much and cannot conceive of anything other than the weight of his own misery. High Praise for Subtle GiantsEric dedicated this novel to Daniel Kraus, and we started the episode talking about that. I love how Daniel has had such a positive impact on Eric's career and Eric as a person. I share my observation about Daniel, which is that he casts a far bigger shadow than his humble shape suggests. So if you don't know much about Mr. Kraus, I suggest you start researching. I particularly enjoyed Whalefall (read it, then listen to my interview with Daniel HERE), but he's written dozens of books including two posthumously finished coauthorings with George freakin Romero. Coming SoonI had a small panic attack today as I was corresponding with folks, and just kept replying to emails. And kept replying. And kept replying. Suddenly, I feel quite busy as a podcaster. You can count on a discussion soon with Craig Clevenger about his reissue of THE CONTORTIONIST'S HANDBOOK. Other authors in the next few months include: Chris Panatier, Sam Rebelein, Chuck Wendig, the folks from PUNKS GOES HORROR anthology.I'm also having conversations about featuring Jon Bassoff, Cynthia Pelayo, and also having Jesse and Greg back on for more Stephen Graham Jones talk! So, lots in the works that hopefully will be reaching you soon. For you YouTube folks: This is a public episode.

Get Clay's books here!Welcome to my new show, Couchsurfing Critics!The ever-talented and amazing Clay McLeod Chapman has returned for another epic round of conversation with yours truly. This time, we're smashing duration records and defying interview conventions. It is, I would say, the closest to just us grabbing coffee and chatting that we could have hoped for, and I am very pleased with the result. For those of you looking for a concentrated discussion of Clay's delicious upcoming release WAKE UP AND OPEN YOUR EYES, might I direct you elsewhere. But! If you want to know what we think about some of the best authors working today, our thoughts on looking at people's book shelves, and some getting really serious about cancer and the pitfalls of belonging to a family, I've got just what the doctor ordered. (and apparently for Nat Cassidy the doctor ordered some Beano, because he is certainly labeled a car farter in this episode. Sorry Nat. I think it was out of love?)In addition to Clay's amazing examination of the culture of radicalization in contemporary America, I would like to recommend that you listen to his top quality podcast called FEARMONGERS. He gets on the best of horror guests, has delightful conversations, and even cajoles them into reading for us all. It's a great little library-backed bit of entertainment.Coming up on The ARC PartyI've got a lot on the books for the next few weeks. I will be recording a discussion with Eric LaRocca in a few days to support the release of his new novel AT DARK I BECOME LOATHSOME, which everyone needs to read. It's grief horror done so so so so so so so well. Also, I'll be talking with Craig Clevenger about the reissue of his debut novel THE CONTORTIONIST'S HANDBOOK. I'm really stoked about this one, as it's been one of my favorites for a while now.I've just recently confirmed with Chuck Wendig that he will be joining me at some point to discuss THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS, which I loved!I am planning something called MALERMONTH, where I have on a guest or guests to talk about some awesome Josh Malerman novels, including hopefully DAPHNE, PEARL, and maybe another. GOBLIN? We'll see. I've also started talks with Cynthia Pelayo's representation, and have some tentative plans with Joshua Hull, and many more. I'm also very excited for Shortwave Publishing's first quarterly shipment for 2025 to its Kickstarter backers. The box looks insane and I'm so excited! I'm so scared!Finally for you YouTuberssssss: This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.thearcparty.com/subscribe

Eric Larocca is a master of exploring the boundaries of horror, and often going beyond them. His upcoming collection THIS SKIN WAS ONCE MINE AND OTHER DISTURBANCES consists of two longer, novella length stories, and two shorter ones. If we're talking overall theme, Eric says that this book is looking into the concept of human connection. Along the way, we get some fetishes, some deaths in the family, visiting childhood trauma on others, and some elderly men doing unspeakable things. It's a great collection, and I can't wait for everyone to read it! Until then, please enjoy my conversation with Eric.

The third terrifying volume in the award-winning anthology series of original queer horror.Like the final girl in a slasher film, the LGBTQIA community knows first-hand what it's like to fight for its survival. Beaten and bloodied after an extended chase scene through modern-day politics and the courts, we think we've triumphed and conquered our oppressors. We breathe a little easier knowing our rainbow is ascending in the distance. But—like the indestructible slasher villain—our enemies rise up again and again, as if on a looping third-act jump scare. It's a seemingly never-ending return to battle as the pendulum of progress swings back.In this third volume of the award-winning anthology series, the darkest minds from both the LGBT+ and horror literary communities join forces to bring readers an all-new collection of terrifying tales from that line on the horizon where the dark rainbow rises.Stories by Chad Helder, Hailey Piper, Mathew L. Reyes, A.P. Thayer, J. Daniel Stone, Yah Yah Scholfield, Oliver Nash, Holly Lyn Walrath, Paul Tremblay, Carmilla Voiez, James Cato, Lucy A. Snyder, Maxwell I. Gold, Zachary Rosenberg, Matthew Blain-Hartung, Maryse Meijer, Vincent Kovar, CG Inglis, Craig Laurance Gidney, Dan Coxon, Kaitlin Tremblay, Michael Thomas Ford, Craig Brownlie, Amanda M. Blake, Sara Tantlinger, and Eric LaRocca. Edited by Vince A. Liaguno.Praise for Unspeakable Horror: From the Shadows of the Closet: “There is much to praise in Unspeakable Horror: From the Shadows of the Closet, a sharp, new gay-themed anthology. The 24 entries comprise a sophisticated collection of topnotch tales of terror, most of which could appear in any fright anthology without qualification and suggest the maturing of ‘gay horror' into a viable and solid genre indeed.”—Fangoria MagazinePraise for Unspeakable Horror 2: Abominations of Desire: “If Unspeakable Horror: From the Shadowsof the Closet helped to establish speculative fiction as a mature and important genre for queer fiction when it was published about a decade ago, then Unspeakable Horror 2: Abominations of Desire takes it to new heights and creates an expectation of excellence. Tightly written and edited, free of tropes and mundane writing, these stories propel the queer horror genre to scare us while making a statement about our world and accomplish it with the best of writing possible.”—Lambda Literary ReviewProudly represented by Crystal Lake Publishing—Tales from the Darkest Depths.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

This week, Mary Beth and Terry and joined by author Eric LaRocca to talk about books, queer creators and his fascination with dark stories. After discussing his relationship to the horror genre and the first time he experienced queer writers, we discuss his buzzy novellas Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke and You've Lost A Lot of Blood. Then we discuss the infamous New French Extremity film Martyrs, including why it terrified him, how he saw it and its lasting influence. Along the way, we have disagreements about the film and dig into its structure, the horror and the meanings behind all of it. It's a great discussion about a divisive film!You can follow Eric on Twitter and Instagram. You can also follow along with his work at his website. His novella You've Lot A Lot of Blood is available at a wide range of places and 50% of the proceeds from ebook and paperback sales of You've Lost A Lot of Blood will be donated to Trans Lifeline!

I read two interesting horror novellas recently, and they were very different! The Walking Son by Eddie Generous from The Seventh Terrace and Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke by Eric LaRocca from Weirdpunk Books. The Walking Son is a many-threaded plot that delves into the supernatural, body transformation, and treachery - a lot for a slim volume, but so well crafted. I had a good time reading this, and thank you to Eddie Generous for sending it along. Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke is the talk of the town, and deals with online control, deception, and depraved desires. I recommend some reading with this one on contracts in relationships which is one element I've seen little conversation about so far.

Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke: By Eric LaRocca Website: https://gobookmart.com "A startling affair...I'll be cleaning up particles of darkness in my office for weeks." - Josh Malerman (Bird Box, Inspection) "When broken people do broken things - especially in the name of love - we all get broken, too. What starts as sweetly genteel swiftly descends into everything that's brutalizingly ugly about the abusive master/slave dynamic. A hauntingly elegant, masterfully written, and ultimately devastating indictment of cruel manipulation and even crueler submission. This is one deeply fucked-up heartbreaker. You have been warned." - John Skipp (The Light at the End) "Part Dennis Cooper's The Sluts, part David Cronenberg's The Brood...Eric LaRocca's Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke is a masterpiece of epistolary body horror." - Max Booth III (We Need to Do Something) "Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke is a tight, merciless epistolary, each piece of correspondence coiling the reader around its finger and never letting go. LaRocca skillfully weaves a grotesque, unforgettable page-turner of manipulation and depravity." - Hailey Piper (The Worm and His Kings) "With darkly poetic prose and chilling stories that peel back layers of skin to reveal a beating, bloody heart, Eric LaRocca is the clear literary heir of Clive Barker." - Tyler Jones (Criterium, The Dark Side of the Room) "Eric LaRocca is a fierce talent that knows no limit, masterful and utterly unmissable!" - Ross Jeffery (Juniper, Tome) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

It's a dirty, grim, glorious time on Talking Scared this week. After a last-minute schedule reshuffle we have Eric LaRocca, here to talk about his word-of-mouth sensation of a novella – Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke. Gotten worse is quite the understatement. This book goes so far beyond the pale in terms of horror's usual comfort level these days. It's a simple tale of online love, BDSM and self-mutilation, all tinged with some wonderful early noughties nostalgia. This book does for MSN messenger what the Blair Witch Project did for the woods.Eric and I talk about all of that, as well as transgressive fiction, the beauty to be found in disgust, and our shared love of books and movies that have achieved legendary status as things that you probably shouldn't experience (if you know what's good for you)!Enjoy!!Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke is out now from WeirdPunk Books. Other books discussed in this episode include: The Sluts (2004), by Denis CooperCrash (1973), by J.G.
