OTHER MOMMY JUST UNLOCKED A WHOLE NEW FEAR. Roxy Striar and Tara Erickson give their Other Mommy trailer reaction and first-look review, breaking down Jessica Chastain's terrifying new horror movie, the kitchen-table jump scare, and the mystery behind a child who claims an identical “other mommy” is visiting her home. In this Reel Rejects Other Mommy reaction, Tara and Roxy discuss director Rob Savage's 2026 adaptation of Josh Malerman's acclaimed horror novel Incidents Around the House, produced by James Wan's Atomic Monster and Blumhouse. From the unsettling “you were in my heart” line and Jessica Chastain's unnatural tears to the Other Mommy kitchen-table jump scare that made Tara completely lose it, this could be one of the scariest theater trailers of 2026. We discuss whether the Other Mommy is a ghost, clone, secret twin, or something even more sinister, along with the cast, the trailer reportedly playing before The Odyssey, and the movie's October 2026 release date.

I first met Josh Malerman in 2014, not long after the release of BIRD BOX. A friend, Nikki Guerlain, said “you gotta read this book, you're going to love it.” Nikki was never wrong, so BIRD BOX got put on the roster for a review on my podcast, and through Nikki's extensive connections, Josh agreed to join the podcast for an interview. I remember it was his Wife Allison's birthday when the clock struck midnight and we were still on our call. Twelve years, and more than a dozen books, multiple movies, albums, comic books, and who knows what else later and I still feel that same energy talking to Josh that was in the room, on the call, that first night. It's the same energy that is radiating off of his debut nonfiction book, Watching Evil Dead: Unearthing the Radiant Artist Within. It's a reverence for creating, a joy of inspiration, a sense of accomplishment when your art is made. But fear not, much like the book, this conversation isn't just a pile of toxic positivity. We talk about how hard making art can be. How challenging it is to find success. How doubt, fear, anxiety, hopelessness all haunt anyone who endeavors to tap ingenuity and result something new.We keyed into an idea that I think is cool, worth thinking about. The feeling of being pulled forward by something. Almost as if we all hold in us some preternatural drive for craft. I left this conversation feeling inspired. But more so than that, I left feeling proud of my accomplishments, and ready to tackle new things. If you think you're in the market for some of this feeling, I suggest you pick up your copy of Watching Evil Dead as quickly as possible. And if you're into Audiobooks, Josh narrates this one.

Michigan's own Josh Malerman, author of Incidents Around the House and Bird Box, joins us to talk about a particular film (which also has deep Michigan roots), 1981's The Evil Dead. Josh wrote and published his first work of nonfiction late last year, Watching Evil Dead: Unearthing The Radiant Artist Within; we're discussing that book AND the upcoming adaptation of last year's smash hit Incidents Around the House.

In WATCHING EVIL DEAD, Josh Malerman shares the joy that comes with experiencing art through the eyes of someone you are falling in love with in real time – and how that transformative magic can inspire creation in and of itself.

New York Times bestselling author Richard Chizmar, “one of horror's indispensable writers” (Paste), and his son W.H. Chizmar, critically acclaimed author of Them (hailed by New York Times bestselling author Josh Malerman as “one of the best debuts I've ever read”) present a riveting found footage narrative about doomed thrill-seekers trapped in a haunted lighthouse.“This is a bad place. I don't think people are meant to live here.”Longtime residents of Harper's Cove believe that something is wrong with the Widow's Point Lighthouse. Some say it's cursed. Others claim it's haunted.Originally built in 1838, three workers were killed during the lighthouse's construction, including one who mysteriously plunged to his death from the catwalk. That tragic accident was never explained, and it was just the beginning of the terror. In the decades that followed, nearly two dozen additional deaths occurred in or around the lighthouse including cold-blooded murder, suicide, unexplained accidents and disappearances, the slaughter of an entire family, and the inexplicable death of a Hollywood starlet who was filming a movie on the grounds.The lighthouse was finally shuttered tight in 1988 and a security fence was erected around the property. No one has been inside since. Until now.Told across two harrowing incidents from 2017 and 2025, those who enter the Widow's Point Lighthouse searching for supernatural proof and the next big thing find themselves cut off from the outside world. And although no one has recently stepped foot inside the structure, they are not alone.In this remarkable collaboration, father and son writing team, Richard and W.H. Chizmar combine forces to tell a terrifying ghost story that will make you think twice about what's waiting for you in the dark.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Do you hear voices in your head? I surely do. I believe that, as writers, we all experience this, with words pounding in our brains and screaming to be released. In the pages of my upcoming fully illustrated debut novel, "The Voices in Your Head," Geoff Hathaway not only hears voices, but he also sees them as they manifest before his eyes, telling stories while tormenting him. And you will see them too as you read through his shocking, disturbing, and mind-bending musings. From the perspective of a killer so to say. There are 37 illustrations from, in my opinion, the best horror artist out there – The Art of Dan Verkys, who also created the cover for this infernal realm. Featuring an incredible introduction from Sumiko Saulson, who prepares you for what is about to unfold, Voices has already received praise from some of the most highly-regarded professionals in the industry. I am so grateful for all of you. Publisher To Be Determined.“Utilizing prose, verse, and art, The Voices in Your Head offers a unique, hallucinatory trip into a spiraling nightmare of blood, pain, and madness."—Pedro Iniguez, Author of Synthetic Dawns & Crimson Dusks“Geoff Hathaway is plagued by insanity. Or demons. Or both. You won't know, but you will care. Jeff Oliver's powerful, gory, flesh-eating page-turner will keep you up all night, checking the doors and windows to your soul. This way madness lies. Be warned. And be there.”-- Anna Taborska, award-winning author ofFor Those Who Dream Monsters and Bloody Britain“Jeff Oliver is an inkwell of creativity, his ever-palpitating heart word-spilling without abandon onto the page."- Michael Bailey, multi-award-winning writer and editor“Jeff Oliver's debut novel is a tightly woven and gruesome tale of terror. A story I could not look away from until the very end. One that will remain with me for quite a while. Job well done! The wicked illustrations by Dan Verkys are a bonus!”~ Cindy O'Quinn, Bram Stoker Award winning authorJeff Oliver was born in Baltimore, Maryland on April 6th, 1982.Jeff began writing Dark Poetry at just 11 years old. Transferring darkness to paper at such a young age.There are thoughts about a troubled childhood, thoughts of love and imagination that never elude his pen.A poet by passion and a father of 8 beautiful children. His dedication to his family and his craft is second to none. Jeff lives in Western New York State. Jeff is a writer of intense emotions.His published books include Venomous Words Volume One: Macro-Photography by Gordon Reilly (Blurb). Strange Sounds (Self Published). Scattered Thoughts, Volumes I & II, Drops Of Insanity (Cosby Media Productions). New World Monsters was written by Chris McAuley with monstrous illustrations by Dan Verkys. (HellBound Books). Works in progress 'Dark Echoes Within Silence'. Illustrated by Dan Verkys with an introduction from Josh Malerman. New World Monsters: The Voices In Your Head and Dracula's Guests written with McAuley and illustrated by Verkys. Venomous Words Volumes 2, 3, and 4 with Macro-Photography by Gordon Reilly. Finally, Infinite Black: Tales From The Abyss. A new world of horror illustrated by Dan Verkys and also Dan's Debut as a writer himself.Jeff will continue to write from the deepest corners of his soul.

Stephen Graham Jones should need little introduction. He was the guest on the 13th episode of this podcast, talking about his horror masterpiece The Only Good Indian. He was also on a panel episode with Paul Tremblay and Josh Malerman talking about one of our favorite topics Basketball. Very excited to point out that I got to be Stpehen's first interview on this incredible vampire novel Buffalo Hunter Hunter. In this conversation we talk about Stpehen's Vampire class that inspired this book, his process on it, some of our favorite vampire classics and of course the forthcoming novel (out 3/18/25). We stay mostly spoiler free, but I give a warning before we go deeper into the themes and the final act. Buffalo Hunter Hunter was one of the best reads I had last year. One of the new releases I consider a masterpiece. Very excited to offer this episode. •You can find my books here: Amazon-https://www.amazon.com/David-Agranoff/e/B004FGT4ZW •And me here: Goodreads-http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2988332.David_Agranoff Twitter-https://twitter.com/DAgranoffAuthor Blog-http://davidagranoff.blogspot.com/

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

Send us a Text Message.My unpaid cohost returns. Josh Malerman ladies and gentlemen. Josh has been on the show many times before, but never have I been so excited to speak to him. His latest novel, Incidents Around the House is about as good a horror book as I've ever covered on this show… or possibly read in my life. It's the story of a young girl, her family, and the entity pursuing them, but – as you'll hear – it goes a whole lot deeper (and unforgivingly darker) than that. Josh tells us about the unique process of writing this book. We discuss the challenges of child narrators. I beg insight into the demons and half-glimpsed horrors of his story… and I assault him with odd comparisons. It's all very freewheeling and fun. As the 199th episode should be, before we tip over the edge into a whole new century. Enjoy – and read this damn book! Other books mentioned: The House of Last Resort (2024), Christopher GoldenCoraline (2002), by Neil GaimanThe Exorcist (1971), by William Peter BlattyGood Night Sleep Tight (2024), by Brian EvensonNightmares and Dreamscapes (1993), by Stephen KingFrom a Buick 8 (2002), by Stephen King11/22/63 (2011), by Stephen King Support Talking Scared on Patreon Come talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Support the Show.
