In this episode of 'Horror Joy,' Brian and Jeff sit down with author and playwright Nat Cassidy to explore his career and the intricate relationship between joy and horror. Cassidy discusses his journey from a macabre child fascinated by the works of Stephen King and Shakespeare to a versatile storyteller working across various mediums, including novels, plays, and audio dramas. The conversation delves into the philosophical underpinnings of fear and anxiety, the evolution of horror as a genre, and the impact of his latest work, 'When the Wolf Comes Home.'Cassidy shares his insights into the immersive and ecstatic qualities of horror, likening it to spicy food that delights because it hurts. We also touch on the importance of live performance and the existential truths that horror can reveal.

Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were tragically murdered over the weekend and the film community is still reeling. Reiner was not only a kind man, someone dedicated to protecting the rights and freedoms of everybody, and a talented filmmaker, he was one of the very few filmmakers that understood exactly how to translate Stephen King to the big screen. Author Nat Cassidy (The Wolf at the Door) and film commentator Drew McWeeny (The Hip Pocket Podcast) join Beznican and Vespe to discuss the tragic loss of Reiner and celebrate his massive contributions to the world of cinema, from his King adaptations Stand By Me, Misery, and The Shawshank Redemption (which he produced for Frank Darabont) to the genre defining classics This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, and A Few Good Men.

Ah the arrogance of writers. Now I am one, officially, I thought I'd better do something fitting. So I set up a whole episode of my podcast to talk about my own book – Good Boy! My debut novella about small English towns, the bonds between men and dogs, and a battle between bravery and monsters. Thankfully, I have friends who will facilitate this type of nonsense, so thanks to Nat Cassidy and Rachel Harrison for asking me questions and flattering my ego. We talk about literary and personal inspirations, about what I've learned from 5 years of interviewing authors, about local folklore and the composition of monsters… and of course, about dogs! This was the greatest pleasure for me. I hope you enjoy it half as much.

Narrated primarily by Helen Laser, this fast-paced horror story starts with a bang. Jess, a struggling actress, finds a scared 5-year-old boy hiding outside her apartment. When the boy's angry father attempts to retrieve him, a monstrous creature attacks Jess's neighbors and roommate, leaving behind death and destruction. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Alex Richey discuss Laser's portrayal of the boy with a careful balance of youthful fear and sad resolution. Her authentic depiction of Jess thoughtfully shifts between solicitousness of the boy, slowly increasing dread, and acute fear.

Discover thousands of audiobook reviews and more at AudioFile's website Support for Behind the Mic comes from Hachette Audio and NIGHT WATCHER, by Daphne Woolsoncroft (of the Going West podcast), who read an audio-exclusive author's note before the stunning dual-narration by Will Collyer and Helen Laser.

I've been looking forward to releasing this one… Nat Cassidy comes to Talk Scared about When the Wolf Comes Home, his new novel that I –and people like me – are already calling out as one of the Best Books of the Year™. It's a shaggy, undisciplined, sprinting beast of a book that obeys no rules. You may think it's a werewolf novel, and you may be right... but also very wrong. It's a book about transformations of many kinds, about fatherhood and the very nature of fear itself. But it's also funny, scary and sad as hell. You'll love the damn thing, and this conversation.

If you're anything like us, peace is wandering the stacks of a dusty, cramped bookstore, looking for the next title to lose yourself in. The Stacks, The Losers' Club's new monthly series, aims to evoke that feeling by discussing the month's new genre releases while also sharing recommendations for the books, movies, shows, podcasts, and music they're consuming. Fear not, for this is a spoiler-free zone. Just know that a wish list hates to see us coming. In its inaugural episode, Losers Randall Colburn, Jenn Adams, Dan Caffrey, and Sammie Kuykendall dish on the latest news in publishing, including James Patterson's collab with Mr. Beast and the new Hunger Games prequel about Haymitch Abernathy. After discussing new April releases from Natalia Theodoridou, Nat Cassidy, Ronald Malfi, and more, they share their own recommendations, all of which you can see below. Books: Maeve Fly by CJ Leede Dead Eleven by Jimmy Juliano Hell House by Richard Matheson Mostly Hypothetical Mountains by Josh Tillman Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay Strange Pictures by Uteksu The Winner by Teddy Wayne Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism by Sarah Wynn Williams Other recs: Adolescence (series) Chaos: The Manson Murders (movie) Coulda Been Love (web series) Dark Horse (movie) Ghosts in the Burbs (podcast)
The second Let Us Palaver minisode – in which Nat Cassidy dig into the things we couldn't say about The Drawing of the Three, and give MAJOR SPOILERS about whole Dark Tower series.

The Ka-tet picks up exactly where we left off: on the beaches of Midworld, with Roland Deschain. (If none of that makes any sense to you, go listen to episode one of the Dark Tower Deep Dive immediately) Nat Cassidy, Chris Panatier and I gather for a long, philosophical, expletive-littered conversation about Book 2: The Drawing of the Three. We get further into the character of Roland and his quest, and spend some time with the gaggle of oddballs he meets along his scenic tour of the coast. The seafood is particularly tasty! It's good to be talking Tower again. Enjoy.

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 textIt's that time of year again. When I celebrate the winter solstice by getting some horror authors to come and talk in deep, emotional detail about a scary book that we like. This time the Christmas Special Deep Dive kicks the tires and looks under the hood of Stephen King's most underrated novel: From a Buick 8. My friends on this weird-ass-road trip are Ally Malinenko and Nat Cassidy. I asked them to do it for a coupla reasons. 1) They are lovely 2) hey really get King, and 3) they can speak to this book's focus on grief and loss. And oh boy do we talk grief, loss, afterlives and everything else. Turns out it's not just a book about a car after all. Don't worry though, Ally is charming, Nat is snarky and together we'll make you laugh. And Christmas is supposed to be tinged with melancholy isn't it… Enjoy!

Freewheeling, saxophone soundtracked deep dive chat between Matt n Nat re all things Stephen King. It's our biggest Survivor Type episode yet with the award winning horror novelist Nat Cassidy, author of "Mary", "Nestlings" and the upcoming "When The Wolf Comes Home".
This week, we're reading Nat Cassidy's second horror novel about vampires, babies, and New York real estate that is so completely not ADA compliant. With special guest, our friend and resident horror book recommender Katie! Talking points include: navigating the inherent antisemitism of vampire mythology, Capri-sunning a human being, different types of evil landlords, and truly so much stuff about motherhood. I'm sure three childless adults in their thirties are really gonna be the expert on that subject. Support the show

PREORDER REST STOPNat Cassidy was kind enough to join me once more on the podcast to talk about his upcoming novella, out on Shortwave, called REST STOP (preorder link above the cover image). While REST STOP is a quick read, and pretty chock-full of violence and creepy crawlies, we managed to get pretty deep into a conversation about generational trauma and survival - themes that are present throughout this depraved story. We also talked about Nat's upcoming novel from Tor Nightfire, WHEN THE WOLF COMES HOME, out on April 22nd of 2025, and a little bit about Nat's two chapbooks that he also released through Shortwave, which you should absolutely go buy immediately. Coming soon on the podcast: Keith Rosson returns to talk about the closing title in his FEVER HOUSE duology - THE DEVIL BY NAME. Later, I'll be talking to Tim Waggoner about his novelization of Ti West's X trilogy, of which I've read X and it's fan-fucking-tastic.For folks that prefer YouTube: This is a public episode.

Clay McLeod Chapman, for me, arrived at a time where I was in-between podcasts, and going through some health things, etc. Which is to say that I kinda missed his emergence onto the scene. So, I heard him on podcasts talking about his then-new book GHOST EATERS, and I became interested. Last year, it didn't work out to interview Clay for WHAT KIND OF MOTHER, which was disappointing. SO, when I caught wind that he had something coning out on Shortwave, I took it as my chance to finally get him… on the line. What you're about to listen to sounds a lot like old friends gabbing about things that they're excited about. Just know it's the first conversation I've ever had with Clay, which goes to show just how fun and open and comfortable it is to chat with the dude.And apologies to Nat Cassidy, but Clay's episode is like a minute and change longer than yours. I guess we'll just have to have you on again, to top your old pal. Do you want cake at your ARC Party? I know I do.

Joe shows David his magnet fishing set and David shows Joe his metal detecting apparatus. They are very excited about their new bits of kit. Joe imagines what it would be like to magnet fish a blue metal teapot out of a river and discovers there are regulations about where you can and can't use a magnet. They both worry about where they are going to do their new found hobbies and how embarrassing it is going to be. Joe helps David with some role play and pretends to be the farmer as David asks if he can metal detect on his land. They get a bit sidetracked when a bomb shell relevation hits them like a ton of lead. Nat Cassidy has a new podcast out and it sounds really good and its pushed Chatabix even further down the charts.
