Well somebody has to have it....On this episode we dive head first into a fascinating 15 part doc series all the episodes which are now available on Substack.  It's "First Word on Horror'.First Word on Horror is a fifteen-part documentary series that profiles five of the finest horror writers working today.   Across multiple episodes, each author discusses their life, their inspirations, their philosophies, and their writing techniques while reading one of their short stories. As fact and fiction blend, secrets are revealed and the delicate alchemy that turns human experience into creative expression begins to emerge.  The series is a love letter to writers of all ilk, to the primacy of the human experience, and to the simple act of reading a damned good story.   The authors profiled are New York Times bestsellers, multi-award winners, and cult favorites. In this first season, they are Stephen Graham Jones, Paul Tremblay, Elizabeth Hand, Laird Barron, and Mariana Enriquez.   Through the authors' lives the series takes viewers from a harrowing Iditarod dogsled race in Alaska to the lurking terror of growing up under the Argentinian dictatorship; from the unbridled energy of the early DC punk scene to an ill-fated hunting expedition on the Blackfeet reservation in Montana.  We talked with director and creator of the series Philip Gelatt about the genesis of this project and so very much more...

Vi slår oss ner i Varbergs gemytligaste kök för att reda ut begreppen kring det här med kosmisk skräck, som vi ser det, bland annat genom att ta avstamp från det prima exemplet som Algernon Blackwoods kortroman The Willows faktiskt utgör. Johannes föreslår en häpnadsväckande koppling mellan vårt prima exempel från 1907 och skräckfilmsklassikern The Thing från 1982 och Tomas bjuder på högläsning.

On this week's episode, I'm rejoined by writer/director Philip Gelatt and novelist Paul Tremblay (author of Horror Movieand The Cabin at the End of the World, among other scary books) to discuss the new Substack-hosted docu-horror series Etch. The concept is pretty cool: Philip has interviewed a quintet of horror authors—Tremblay, Stephen Graham Jones, Laird Barron, Elizabeth Hand, and Mariana Enriquez—and every week he's dropping another episode that combines that interview with a reading of a short story and video illustration. (Not quite a movie, exactly, more like creepy imagery.) I'll say, as a longtime user/reader of Substack, it's exciting to see folks push the boundaries of what the site can be. I think most people see Substack as a newsletter/podcast site, and most of the video I've seen on Substack has been, more or less, video versions of podcasts. (We have a lot of those here at The Bulwark!) But this is a great example of a creator deciding to bypass the studios and the streamers and just make something he wants to see in the world using the broadcast tools provided by Hamish McKenzie and his team at Substack and doing so in a way that allows you to “own” the readers/followers, a stark contrast from YouTube, TikTok, and other user-generated video sites. (It'll be great when they drop a streaming-style app.) If you are into horror, I highly recommend checking this out. And if you enjoyed this episode, I hope you share it with a friend!

Not only is it wonderful that he's back to writing and talking about writing. Not only am I lucky to be able to speak to him… We also talked about DOGS!  Granted, a cybernetic, immortal monster hound called Rex – but a dog nonetheless. That's just one of the crazy concepts that make up the stories in Laird's new collection, Not a Speck of Light… and I mean crazy. These stories involve evil fathers, strange invasions, billionaire bird-women and a disaster-addicted monster – and we talk about how Laird balances the bizarre and brutal, the cosmic and the cynical, the horrific and the hardboiled. Plus a lot of info on a very exciting project he's currently working hard on. Let's all just be happy, Laird Barron is back.
