Podcasts about horror writers

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?

On this week's episode of 'Writer's Routine', the show that takes a look inside an author's working day, we're chatting to horror writer, Grady Hendrix. Grady is the bestselling author of "The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires", "Horrorstör", and "My Best Friend's Exorcism". He blends horror and humour with incredibly inventive plots and creative ways of creating terror.His new novel is 'Witchcraft for Wayward Girls'. It tells the story of a home for unwed expecting mothers, who can have their baby in secret whilst their family figures out what to do next, and how to forget the whole thing. Every moment of the girls' waking day is controlled by adults who "know what's best for them", that's until the girl Fern finds a book of the occult, all about witchcraft... suddenly the power is in the girls' hands.We discuss how it was partly inspired by his family history and why he sat on the idea for more than 4 years. You can hear what he thought about when he finally decided to write it, and how he managed to plot and plan such a character-heavy story.Grady reveals what he remembers to make horror fiction scary, who inspires him, and what a day in the life of his novel-writing looks like.Support the show -patreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutineGet a copy of the book - https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineThis episode is sponsored by Faber Academy's 'Writing a Novel' course.

Recently Graham and Jeff recorded a podcast about the science fiction films of Stephen King.  That podcast will shortly be available as part of Jo Durrant's Beautiful Universe series – thanks Jo for inviting us to participate. One of the comments made during the recording was “you're wrong” (frequently said to us) “Stephen King is horror not science fiction”.  On such statements worlds turn.  We thought it would be an interesting idea to turn the discussion 180 degrees.  Are Stephen King's science fiction stories actually horror ones in disguise? An even better idea was to turn that into a podcast for At The Flicks as part of this year's Halloween series. That's it, a novel way to reuse our ideas but from a different perspective. Now for the sake of clarity we would say we have not duplicated Jo's show, this is just a subset of titles told in a very different way.  We talk about the following - Carrie - The Dead Zone - Firestarter - The Running Man - The Lawnmower Man - The Stand Graham and Jeff discuss each of these in turn to decide should it be classed as horror or science fiction.  The result may surprise you. But what about you, faithful listener, what would you put against each of those titles – a H for Horror or S for Science.  Why not set up your own table in advance and check your results against ours.  Please let us know your scoring. As for us, we are now off preparing the final Halloween show, the icing on a rather dark cake.  Come back soon to find out what that is. See you there or perhaps At The Flicks watching Smile 2

INTERVIEW BEGINS AT : 29:15 Horror novels... why are they all lumped together when there are so many different sub genres, yet in book stores or websites they are all in the same section, from gothic horror to comedy horror to splatter punk to classic horror and so on, should they all be considered the same, and if so, how can you build a fan base. Some are defiantly not for the young and some are made for the young, so why are they all on “the same shelf” Today we welcome three horror writers from three vastly different styles, Casey Masterson, Rex Hurst and Dacre Stoker, we will discuss their views on how horror is marketed, how it should be and the future of the art form So kick back, enjoy, and please subscribe, rate and share the show, Let's keep the audience growing and feel free to reach out to us at Trans.History.Rambling@gmail.com And hey, why not check out our merch store for t-shirts, baseball hats, hoodies, coffee mugs, stickers, magnets and a whole host of other items. https://www.teepublic.com/user/tahistory All of our episodes are listed as explicit due to language and some topics that may not be suitable for all listeners.
