In a special episode that's a treat for horror aficionados, host Alex Greenwood and film critic ⁠⁠⁠Lucas Hardwick⁠⁠ ⁠ come together for a SILVER SCREAMS special! Listen in for their takes, reactions, stories, and the usual drivel as they watch (with you) the classic '80s zombie flick RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD. Don't you want to experience the pain of death? It's not a bad question, Burt. So get your DVD or streaming service warmed up, pour yourself a Black Cat cocktail, and prepare for some Halloween fun as we watch along together. Episode is PG-13/R. Mature themes and some drinking are involved. When he's not working as a Sasquatch stand-in for sleazy European films, Lucas Hardwick spends time writing film essays and reviews for We Belong Dead and Screem magazines. Lucas also enjoys writing horror shorts and has earned Quarterfinalist status in the Killer Shorts and HorrOrigins screenwriting contests. You can find Lucas' shorts on Coverfly. Alex Greenwood experienced the heart-wrenching unpredictability of the film industry when his debut screenplay project came to an abrupt halt following the producer's untimely death. Now, he flogs his acclaimed John Pilate Mystery Series and badgers friends into reading his award-winning horror stories. Praised for his dialogue, Alex brings a unique voice to mystery, horror, and general fiction.

Author Dennis Feece returns to Mysterious Goings On to discuss his latest book, Of Towers and Shadows, which follows private investigator TB Stone as he tracks down a stalker and confronts a mysterious cult-like group. This installment takes on a darker tone and presents higher stakes than its predecessor. In our conversation, we also touch on Robert B. Parker's influence on Feece's writing, the use of first-person narration, and the inspiration behind the Italian cooking references in the book. Feece describes Of Towers and Shadows as a darker continuation of his previous novel, Love, Pride, and Murder. We explore themes of romance, idealized characters, and the blending of noir and cozy genres. Feece also discusses the development of his protagonist, TB Stone, delving into the exploration of his darker side in this new book. The conversation concludes with insights into future books in the series. Tune in!
