This month on Horror Hangover, Ryan and Cass are joined by horror author Shannon Riley to discuss the trope of single-location horror in scary movie cinema with 2010's Frozen & 2022's No Exit. Why are we so fascinated with putting people in situations that seem impossible to escape??? If you're brave enough to hold on tight & explore why, stay tuned after the movie chat to delve into Shannon's debut horror book: Pocketknife Kitty.   Pocketknife Kitty Synopsis: Jamie is a thirty-year-old banker wedged between grief and newfound freedom. Through a domino cascade beyond her control, she winds up stuck in her suffocating hometown. The monotony is broken swiftly when, following a night of spite-fueled impulse, Jamie soon begins to undergo a rapid and gruesome transformation. She finds herself teetering on the edge of her own sanity as she pieces together if rescue will ever come for her. And if not, what is she going to do about it? Exploring themes of sexual empowerment, revenge, and loneliness, POCKETKNIFE KITTY asks the reader to explore exactly how far they'd go to save their own skin.   CLICK IF YOU DARE: Snag a copy of Pocketknife Kitty now from from Ghoulish Books!

Terrible times and awful words await us this week. Thankfully, on this show that's a good thing!Our guest is Max Booth III, the wizard behind Ghoulish Books and the author of bathroom-set apocalypse, We Need to Do Something. He's here to talk about his new collection of uber-dark stories, Abnormal Statistics.These tales are pitch black, treacle-thick pieces of clotted nastiness. Bad things happen to lots of people, most frequently children (but never dogs). Many a mind is tortured and many a tooth is sucked (!!) Max and I talk about how these stories reflect his own disjointed childhood. We talk about awful true crimes and why he's addicted to information that is bad for him. We also try to pin down precisely what it is about human teeth that seem so universally unnerving… plus some references to my favourite creepypasta stories.This is the best bad time you'll have this week.Enjoy!Abnormal Statistics was published by Apocalypse Party on March 23rd Other books mentioned in this episode include:The Haunting of Camp Winter Falcon (2022), by Jonathan RaabThis Appearing House (2022), by Ally Malinenko“The Whimper of Whipped Dogs” (1973), by Harlan EllisonSupport Talking Scared on PatreonCome talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Support the show

Find all my social media HEREMax Booth III has been tearing things up on the horror scene for a while now, and his latest contribution to the mayhem is a new short story collection, ABNORMAL STATISTICS. It's dark, bleak, weird, and concerningly autobiographical.Michael David Wilson is the founder of This Is Horror, and the main host of the This Is Horror podcast. He's been a crucial contributor to the horror book world for over a decade, with his website, podcast, awards, and his own writing. As this is a crossover episode, the format is slightly different. Michael often leads the conversation. but don't worry! There's still plenty of me. Also, after the main discussion, there's about 17 minutes of weird, and likely offensive, outtakes. This is the first of two episodes covering Max's book. We had so much to say that we needed to break up the conversation over multiple recordings. This means that, in the near future, you'll be getting more talk about the stories in this collection, and probably more bragging about our longevity in the business. This podcast is about supporting our beloved creators, and so here is your opportunity! ABNORMAL STATISTICS is available now, so pick up a copy, and check out other publications from Max's publishing company Ghoulish Books. While you're at it, Michael has a couple books out that are available for purchase, so please check them out and buy them as well! And don't forget to check out the This Is Horror podcast, with almost 500 episodes to choose from. I'd guess I appear in about five of them, if that helps.Thanks as always for listening!

Ok everyone get comfortable and strap in for this wild ride of an interview! The guys got to talk to the writer/screenwriter of the movie "We Need To Do Something" currently streaming on HULU. Max was an absolute freaking blast and neither of the guys were prepared for the peak inside Max's brain. They dig into the behind the scenes of movie making and how a movie goes from paper to film, including a glimpse of where these insane ideas even come from. Also get an inside look of Max's publishing company Perpetual Motion Machine and its offshoot Ghoulish Books along with some fantastic personal stories from the man himself. The guys really enjoyed having Max on the show and hope that everyone else enjoys listening to this wild ride!!!!
