In this installment of the Rock is Lit Season 4 Reading Series, Kat Hausler reads an excerpt from her novel ‘What I Know About July' and discusses its creation. The novel centers around indie rocker Simon Kemper, fresh out of rehab and riding the wave of moderate success with his band in Berlin. But lurking in the background is his stalker, a mysterious figure present at every show, sending unsettling postcards to his label and acting as though she owns him. When she suddenly vanishes during one of his performances, Simon becomes the prime suspect. What begins as an attempt to clear his name spirals into a deeper psychological journey, as Simon questions whether her obsession could have truly ended—or if it has merely become entangled in the lives of those closest to him: his bandmates, a new romantic interest, an embittered ex, and the person he thought he had left behind. Narcissistic and insecure, Simon's struggle to become a better person is central to this haunting story. Originally from Virginia, Kat Hausler is a graduate of New York University and holds an M.F.A. in Fiction from Fairleigh Dickinson University, where she was the recipient of a Baumeister Fellowship. She is the author of ‘Retrograde' and ‘What I Know About July', as well as many shorter pieces. Her work has appeared in ‘Hawaii Pacific Review', ‘34th Parallel', ‘Inkspill Magazine', ‘The Sunlight Press', ‘The Dalloway', ‘Rozlyn Press', ‘Porridge Magazine', ‘LitReactor', ‘BlazeVOX', ‘failbetter', and' The Airgonaut', among others. She lives in Berlin and is also a translator.   MUSIC IN THE EPISODE IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE: Rock is Lit theme music [Guitar Instrumental Beat] Sad Rock [Free Use Music] Punch Deck—“I Can't Stop” [Free] Indie Rock x Alternative Type Beat—“Borderline” [Free] Lana del Rey Type Beat/“Tell Me You Love Me”/Indie Rock Type Beat (Free) Acoustic Guitar Type Beat—“Need You” [Guitar Instrumental Beat] Sad Rock [Free Use Music] Punch Deck—“I Can't Stop”  Rock is Lit theme music   LINKS: Leave a rating and comment for Rock is Lit on Goodpods: https://goodpods.com/podcasts/rock-is-lit-212451 Leave a rating and comment for Rock is Lit on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rock-is-lit/id1642987350 Kat Hausler's website: https://www.kathausler.com/ Kat Hausler on Facebook: @KatHausler Kat Hausler on Instagram: @kat_hausler Kat Hausler on Twitter: @Kat_Fiction Christy Alexander Hallberg's website: https://www.christyalexanderhallberg.com/rockislit Christy Alexander Hallberg on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube: @ChristyHallberg Rock is Lit on Instagram: @rockislitpodcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Here is the sixth, and final, LitReactor ARChive episode. In this one, I chat with the two head honchos of LitReactor about the genesis of the site, the goals of the site, and some of the highlights over the years. Peppered throughout are some call-in audio clips from contributors. It's a nice little tribute to the site, and a fitting goodbye. I appreciate everything it worked for and represented over the years, and hopefully people like having this peek behind the curtain. You don't want to miss the next episode! It's the 2024 Horror Preview (Jan-June)! Becky Spratford and Emily Hughes join me to look ahead to the first half of the year, and talk about some of the books we're most looking forward to. It's a great conversation. Get full access to The ARC Party at www.thearcparty.com/subscribe

LitReactor, as we know it, is closing down. I'm reposting the episodes I hosted for Unprintable (their podcast) over here on The ARC Party, so that they don't go away when the site shuts down. This is the fifth of six episodes - a deep dive into grammar featuring LR's managing editor, and two LR columnists who both have written and/or taught classes on the topic of grammar. One more to go after this. I'm rounding out the series with my discussion with Rob Hart and Josh Chaplinsky - where they talk about how the site started, and some of the highlights of the first ten years. So keep an eye out for that, and also for my 2024 Horror Preview episode featuring Becky Spratford and Emily Hughes. It's not to be missed!

In this episode, I say this is the third of six episodes. It's the Fourth. Oops! Check out an awesome conversation between me and Brian Keene and Michael David Wilson, where we talk about the art of interviewing someone. We share some personal stories from our years of experience, share what really matters to us when it comes to respecting guests, cultivating engaging questions, and delivering a great experience for everyone. I encourage you all to check out This Is Horror, and Brian Keene's podcasting ventures as well. And if you're feeling it, you can go back into my past, and check out some of the interviews I've had on my former podcast, Booked.Two more to go! Up next is Grammar, featuring Josh Chaplinsky, John Ginegrich, and Taylor Houston! Then, finally, a LitReactor retrospective with Josh Chaplinsky and Rob Hart.

It's the third of six LitReactor Archive episodes. In this episode, Sadie Hartmann (Mother Horror), and Becky Spratford (The Horror Maven/RA For All) Joined my on LitReactor's Unprintable podcast to talk about the art of book reviews. If you were ever curious about what goes in to a book review, or what some of the dos and don'ts are, this is the episode for you! Hear a social media influencer talk about her take on reviews and how it's evolved over the years. Hear about a librarian who writes reviews for other librarians. And from me, who just did it on a podcast for a damn decade. I'll be posting three more of these! So keep your peepers peeled for episodes about Interviews, Grammar, and LitReactor's 10th anniversary. Thanks for supporting me, and I hope everyone has the best possible holiday season.

With the lights at LitReactor going dark for good in the coming weeks, I wanted to find a way to archive the handful of episodes that I recorded from them back in 2021. This is the first of six episodes, where I “re-air” the talks I hosted on their podcast, Unprintable. In this episode, Rob Hart joins me as a cohost to speak with Alma Katsu about her then-newly released book RED WIDOW, and also her then-upcoming book THE FERVOR. It's a great conversation, and I hope that if you haven't read Alma's work before, you're inspired to now. She writes great historical horror, as well as epsionage books! Coming soon, I'll be posting the other five episodes that I recorded with Unprintable, including an interview with SA Cosby, episodes on Grammar, Interviews, Reviews, and a 10th anniversary retrospective with Rob Hart and Josh Chaplinsky. Also, this week I'm recording an episode with Becky Spratford and Emily Hughes where we look ahead to our most anticipated books of the first half of 2024. As you can see, lots to come soon from Arc Party! I hope everyone has a great holiday season, enjoys some throwback episodes, and that you're all as excited as I am for what's coming in 2024!

This is the second of six ARC Party episodes, where I'm reposting my small run of episodes of their Unprintable podcast. As LitReactor is closing down, I wanted to give my episodes a place to live on, because they were great conversations that should not be lost to the ages. In this episode, Rob Hart joined to cohost an interview with SA Cosby, about his then-latest book RAZORBLADE TEARS. Rob was also on the cusp of the release of PARADOX HOTEL, so there was a good deal of discussion about that as well. This episode originally posted on Unprintable on 2/15/2022Coming soon:There are four more episodes of the LitReactor ARChives to come! Grammar, Interviews, Reviews, and the LR 10th Anniversary episode. Also, tomorrow I'm recording the ARC Party Look Ahead episode for the first half of 2024, with Becky Spratford and Emily Hughes. Very excited for this! Get full access to The ARC Party at www.thearcparty.com/subscribe

Formerly a Community Health Worker in Dallas, TX, Joyce has an important perspective on health inequities and with the recent Supreme Court's decision related to women's health, some important thoughts on the state of women's health in Texas. Here's her YouTube channel!Bad news! The radio station's mechanism that records all the content failed halfway through the show and I lost the conversation with Chloe, Sari and Aileen about their uteruses, how they've impacted their lives and how the medical establishment has failed them. I wanted to share their backgrounds with you so that you can go out and get their memoirs which go into loads more details from what they shared during our conversation. We talked about how women's stories, now more than ever, are important to ensuring the truth about and support for women's bodies is shared with others.Chloe Caldwell is the author of three books: I'll Tell You in Person, Women, and Legs Get Led Astray. Her essays have been published in The New York Times, Bon Appétit, The Cut, The Strategist, BuzzFeed, NYLON, VICE, Longreads, and many anthologies.

She lives in Hudson, New York, and teaches creative writing online at Writing Workshops, LitReactor, and the Fine Arts Work Center. Find out more at www.chloesimonne.com. Her latest, The Red Zone is a searching, galvanizing memoir about blood and love: how learning more about her period, PMS, PMDD, and the effects of hormones on moods transformed her relationships—to a new partner, to family, to non-blood kin, and to her own body.Sari Botton is a Gen-X writer and editor living in Kingston, NY. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, the Guardian, and elsewhere. She is a contributing editor at Catapult, and the former Essays Editor for Longreads.

She teaches creative nonfiction at Wilkes University, Catapult, and Bay Path University. She publishes the newsletters Oldster Magazine, Memoir Monday, and Adventures in Journalism.Her new memoir, And You May Find Yourself... is about “finding” yourself later in life—after first getting lost in all the wrong places. As Botton discovers, the wrong places famously include her own self-suppression and misguided efforts to please others (mostly men). In a series of candid, reflective, sometimes humorous essays, Botton describes coming to feminism and self-actualization as an older person, second (and third and fourth) chances—and how maybe it's never too late to find your way...assuming you're lucky enough to live long. Sari was last on the show talking about Oldster Magazine at the end of 2021. In Sari's memoir she has a chapter, "My Hysterectomy, a Love Story," which reflects on her journey to conceive and what she learned when she reach the end.Aileen Weintraub is the author of Knocked Down: A High-Risk Memoir, a laugh-out-loud story about a commitment-phobic Brooklyn girl who, after a whirlwind romance, finds herself living in a rickety farmhouse, pregnant, and faced with five months of doctor-prescribed bed rest because of unusually large fibroids. Publishers Weekly says, “Love, marriage, and a harrowing pregnancy yield a haunting story of survival in this gripping account.” Aileen has written for  the Washington Post, Glamour, Parents, Al Jazeera, Huff Post,NBC, Lit Hub and AARP among others. She is also the author of the middle-grade social justice books, Never Too Young! 50 Unstoppable Kids Who Made a Difference, which won a Parents Choice Award, and We Got Game! 35 Female Athletes Who Changed the World, A Mighty Girl Best Book of the Year.

Now that summer is winding down, it's time to pass that beach book along to a friend and pick up something with more substance. If you're eyeing something more informative, thrilling, and poignant, then “Winter Counts” needs to be added to your “must-read” list ASAP. Here is a brief summary of the award-winning book.  “Virgil Wounded Horse is the local enforcer on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota.  When justice is denied by the American legal system or the tribal council, Virgil is hired to deliver his own punishment, the kind that's hard to forget. But when heroin makes its way into the reservation and finds Virgil's own nephew, his vigilantism suddenly becomes personal. He enlists the help of his ex-girlfriend and sets out to learn where the drugs are coming from, and make them stop. They follow a lead to Denver and find that drug cartels are rapidly expanding and forming new and terrifying alliances.  And back on the reservation, a new tribal council initiative raises uncomfortable questions about money and power. As Virgil starts to link the pieces together, he must face his own demons and reclaim his Native identity. He realizes that being a Native American in the 21st century comes at an incredible cost.

    This week on Bizzong! author Joshua Chaplinsky returns to Bizzong! to discuss his new book, The Paradox Twins, a thought experiment, brought to life as a sci-fi oddity as only Joshua can tell.

The result, is something that blows the collective minds of humanity. Let's get at it Zongers! #GiveUsTheGong

We on a bit of hiatus for January as we prepare for our three year podcast anniversary and our 2021 podcast line up. We’re reformatting the show for the new year and can't wait to share more on that soon! In the meantime, we’re releasing the last of our interviews recorded in 2020. We also want to point you to our blog space, where we've been posting a lot more written author interviews as well as some reprinted short fiction. For the moment, we are open to fiction reprint submissions, and in particular, we want to raise stories back from the dead. We want stories that were originally published in now-defunct venues. Currently we aren’t able to pay authors but we want that to change. Therefore, we are hosting a Patreon challenge! When we hit 30 patrons, we pledge pay $25 per reprint. We want to keep increasing what we pay so we foresee another Patreon challenge in our future. Baby steps! With that said, we've been making some changes to our podcast tiers. We offer cool rewards at every tier, including early, ad-free episodes; bonus written, audio, and video content from special guest authors (this month we’ve got a special video from author Gwendolyn Kiste!); and the Patrons-Only podcast LOTF After Dark. Head on over to patreon.com/ladiesofthefright for all the gory details! One final bit of housekeeping: We are hosting a live three year anniversary special event on Sunday, January 31, at 10:30pm Eastern. We'll be joined by special guest co-host Kathryn E. McGee, horror author and host of the Skeleton Hour webinar series and The Thing in the Labyrinth Horror Bookclub.  We'll reflect on the past three years, share our vision for the podcast's future, answer questions, and party. New logo reveal + surprise pop in guests + giveaways! Come celebrate three years with us. Live event on Zoom - register today. Show Notes We are thrilled to bring you this conversation with author, editor, teacher, and overall horror advocate Richard Thomas. Richard spent twenty years in advertising before coming back to writing. Since then he’s been an author, editor, teacher, and publisher. He’s the award-winning author of three novels, three short story collections, two novellas, and over 150 short stories. In addition to teaching at Storyville, he’s also taught at the University of Iowa, LitReactor.com, and Story Studio Chicago. We really loved this conversation with Richard. If you have any new year’s resolutions to dedicate more time to writing, we can’t think of any better way to commit than to sign up for a class with Richard over at Storyville! There are still spots in his Contemporary Dark Fiction classes. He even has one set for summer, May-Aug on London/UK/GMT time which he’s  never done before. It’s 50% sold so check it out if you’re into it. And he also has one running in September. Head on over to storyvilleonline.com for more info!  Find Richard: Twitter | Website | Storyville

The Mando Method Podcast co-hosts Armand Rosamilia and Chuck Buda talk about a recent article that is of interest to new and seasoned authors alike Jay Wilburn's LitReactor article, 15 Traps That Could Hurt Your Writing Goals, is pored over. Let's see if Jay knows what he's talking about together!   

With his new novel, The Grand Dark (Harper Voyager), Richard Kadrey takes an artistic leap from his renowned Sandman Slim supernatural noir books. We sit down in a murder hotel to talk about mixing robots and genetic engineering with Weimar Germany, getting inspired by Mel Gordon's Voluptuous Panic, David Bowie's Low, and the Brothers Quay's Street of Crocodiles, the impact of the 2016 election on his writing, and how he's getting ready to end the Sandman Slim series. We also get into the gentrification of the east Village and the Bowery, the thin line between preservation and nostalgia, the moment his brain got warped by Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase, our shared love of What We Do In The Shadows, the time he attended a screening of Cronenberg's Crash with Kathy Acker, his LitReactor course on writing dark urban fantasy, the wonder of being edited by Ellen Datlow, the accretionary model of novel-writing, and why it's okay to build your fantastic world by just looking out the window.

Comentamos praticamente todos os livros dele, sua formação como escritor, seu estilo, seus temas, e tudo isso nos segurando o máximo pra não darmos spoilers! (só no finalzinho, damos alguns spoilers sobre o final do livro Clube da Luta – que é diferente do filme – e sobre algumas coisas da HQ Clube da Luta 2).Participações especiais de Paulo Carvalho, do Caixa de Histórias, e Domenica Mendes, do Leitor Cabuloso, lendo trechos de obras do Chuck. > 0h06min24seg Pauta principal (Trecho de “Clube da Luta” até 10min27min)> 0h25min21seg Trecho de “Cantiga de Ninar” até 32min48seg> 0h35min35seg Trecho de “Monstros Invisíveis” até 38min47seg> 0h49min26seg Trecho de “Diário” até 57min09seg> 1h10min41seg Trecho de “Sobrevivente” até 1h23min20seg> 1h26min16seg Trecho de “No Sufoco” até 1h40min23seg> 1h47min17seg Trecho de “Tripas” até 1h51min31seg> 2h05min58seg Trecho de “Condenada” até 2h17min31seg> 2h33min30seg Spoliers sobre final do livro Clube da Luta e parte do Clube da Luta 2> 2h46min55seg Palahniuk falando sobre Fight Club 4 KidsPATREON do AntiCast http://www.patreon.com/anticastdesignHistória da Arte para Criativos – Módulo 2 em São Paulo dia 18 de Outubro https://eventioz.com.br/e/sp-historia-da-arte-para-criativos-modulo-2Pausa para um Café, da Anna Schermak http://pausaparaumcafe.com.brCaixa de Histórias, podcast do Paulo Carvalho http://iradex.net/podcasts/caixadehistoriasLeitor Cabuloso, site em que a Domenica Mendes participa http://leitorcabuloso.com.br“Verbos de pensamento”, texto de Palahniuk, traduzido no Pausa para Um Café http://pausaparaumcafe.com.br/dicas-de-chuck-palahniuk-para-ser-um-escritor-melhor/LitReactor, site em que o Palahniuk realiza workshops e onde tem seus textos sobre técnicas de escrita https://litreactor.comOs Livros que Inspiraram Chuck Palahniuk, no Pausa para Um Café http://pausaparaumcafe.com.br/projeto-de-leitura-os-livros-que-inspiraram-chuck-palahniuk/

Author and writerly guru, Delilah S. Dawson - author of the Blud Series, featuring "Wicked as They Come", "Wicked as She Wants", and "Wicked After Midnight", and her latest work, a YA tale titled "Servants of the Storm", as well as being the instructor for a fabulous Worldbuilding Workshop at LitReactor (firing up Sept 10), returns to the Big Chair at the Roundtable to lend her writerly mojo to our brainstorming efforts. My splendid co-host, Starla Huchton, and I are joined by creageous Guest Writer Karey Bunch who brings a tale of monsters hiding in plain sight, a monster squad assigned to dealing with them, and a young woman who gets swept up in all the adventure. The story sparks a froth of discussion as we weave our way through a catacomb of possibilities, unearthing some glittering fragments of Literary Gold along the way.
