An anthology of original horror stories edited by Bram Stoker Award® winners Vince A. Liaguno and Rena Mason that showcases authors from historically excluded backgrounds telling terrifying tales of what it means to be, or merely to seem, “other” Offering new stories from some of the biggest names in horror as well as some of the hottest up-and-coming talents, Other Terrors will provide the ultimate reading experience for horror fans who want to examine fear of “the other.” Be they of a different culture, a different background, a different sexual orientation or gender identity, a different belief system, or a different skin color, some people simply aren't part of the community's majority—and are perceived as scary. Humans are almost instinctively inclined to fear what's different, and there are a multitude of individuals who have spent far too long on the outside looking in. And the thing about the outside is . . . it's much larger than you think. In Other Terrors, horror writers from a multitude of underrepresented backgrounds have created stories of everyday people, places, and things where something shifts, striking a deeper, much more primal, chord of fear. Are our eyes playing tricks on us, or is there something truly sinister lurking under the surface of what we thought we knew? And who among us is really the other, after all?

Nathan Carson discusses the overturning of the unipolar status quo by way of military strength by revisionist powers (e.g. Russia, China). After the collapse of the Soviet Union the West unsuccessfully attempted to supersize and globalize the neoliberal international order, and instead we're looking at the return of history and the last Davos man. The world as we knew the past 30 years is over. Nations are now trying to carve out their own spheres of interest, to find the new equilibrium in the international system. People are trying to find out what this brave new world looks like. The world is moving toward a more regionalized bloc system. China is having numerous problems and is attempting to solve them via automation, which is expensive. We're seeing rising food price inflation, food insecurity, and input prices. The U.S. is very food self-sufficient, there you might see localized shortages. The developing world could be on the brink of famine. Globalization is dead, we can't save the system. Localized resilient systems need to be built.

For episode 13 we sat down and chatted with Christian Lembach, the charming singer and guitar player for pummeling noise rock outfit Whores. Turns out Christian is a chill homebody who has a side-hustle in Atlanta's film and television industry, and a cat named Taco. Taco Cat. We end up talking a lot about how important relationships are to DIY artists, and how strange a media empire eOne is, and what it was like to grow up on tiny Marco island in Florida. We dig back into the Bay Area's history of Noise Rock, including classic bands like Grotus. We discuss a recurring theme...that music is literal magic. He drops a little news bomb...that they've joined Nathan Carson's Nanotear booking agency...when shows happen again that is.At the merch table. Christian shows off his new Hanoi Rocks recorded, and Jeff flashes a couple of new Boss Keloid records, and his new bass built by JML custom guitars. It's a stunner.Christian informs who our new favorite old band is...the almighty Asschapel! And then we wrap up with a really touching discussion of Christian's favorite hometown band Smoke. Smoke was a legendary unique dark folk/funeral dirge indie rock band from Atlanta. Two members, who Christian was good friends with, have passed, and he talks about how the hopelessness they expressed touched him because they were a part of his wild youth and ultimately his sobriety. He talks about how he was lucky to get away from drugs, and how his gratitude for getting sober fuels his musical drive.

Nathan Carson aka “Streetarthustle” is a talented artist who has taken fate into his own hands by being creative on his own terms, vowing to fulfill all of his creative desires and never do anything he doesn’t want to again. He is documenting this journey for all to see via his Periscope account, allowing other people to be inspired as well as learn from his mistakes. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/100 In this episode, Nathan discusses: -A story about what happened directly after the last time he was on the show, back in Episode 54. -His two new assistants and what they have done for his life. -How a mushroom trip helped him to get the courage to hire an assistant. -How he has had to make some tough decisions about blocking certain followers on Periscope. -How using e-mail has become a slow way of communicating, whereas Periscope is instant. -How Facebook is a monolithic code structure that they can't build on top of. -His thoughts on how Periscope is like the eyes of an infant artificial intelligence. -What it is like to be a part of a "Periscope family" that is connected by the Internet, all while circumnavigating the actual physical world. -His advice to anyone who might be nervous to start a Periscope channel. -How Periscope is almost like performance art, and how the people that are commissioning him to paint get to help choose colors and thus pushing him and his art. -His new Patreon page and how it will be utilized. -How important podcasts have been in his life. Nathan's Final Push will inspire you to do what you love no matter how stupid it might seem or feel, and to allow your loves to die if that is what feels right. Quotes: "What you don't realize is that when you want to be an artist, you immediately become the janitor, secretary, payroll, shipping, receiving. Everything." "I went on a mushroom trip and found the courage to hire one of the assistants that I had been interviewing all week." "The message of my show has become, The universe wants you to be alive. So you just choose happiness." "My broader theory is that this is the eyes of an infant artificial intelligence. I think it is literally that important." "The thing that you constantly need to realign yourself with if you're going to make it as an artist is that it has to be about love." "The path of least resistance for you as an artist will always be the path of greatest joy." "Do exactly what you love no matter how stupid that feels." "I'm just gonna do what I love and trust that the Universe will sustain me." "Follow your love. Follow your love. Follow your love."

Nathan Carson aka "Streetarthustle" is a talented artist who has taken fate into his own hands by being creative on his own terms, vowing to fulfill all of his creative desires and never do anything he doesn't want to again. He is documenting this journey for all to see via his Periscope account, allowing other people to be inspired as well as learn from his mistakes. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/nathancarson In this episode, Nathan discusses: -How he was laid off from one of the largest creative agencies, and how he is now just making it work with his "street art hustle." -The story about his podcast and what people can expect to hear from it. -How his podcast morphed into a Periscope adventure. -The differences between Periscope and podcasting. -His love for painting Warhammer miniatures and how he never let himself explore that in his free time because of the notion of getting to the top of the mountain. -How the more niche and strange your idea is, the easier it is for you to rise to the top of that category. -How he feels as a person now in comparison to how he felt when he had his job. -He reads a piece that he wrote inspired by his being laid off and a Bukowski quote. -A fun synchronicity that happens during the episode. -His advice for someone who is thinking about taking the leap and quitting their job to pursue their creative passion. -All the secretarial work that is involved with being your own boss. Quotes: "I decided that I would never do anything I didn't want to do ever again." "It's straight-up patronage for the arts because all I do is draw and paint." "Right now, just sheer terror is motivating me to keep going." "The thing that I loved was so outrageously stupid that you're not allowed to do it for a living." "I didn't allow myself to do the thing that I enjoyed." "The first courageous step is just allowing yourself to do the stupid thing with pipe cleaners that you've been planning on doing once you are successful in your own mind." "The dumber your idea, the more viable it becomes, paradoxically. Especially in the creative world." "Did he make it? Yea? Let's do what he did. Did he not make it? What can we learn from his horrible, spectacular, real-time failure." "You constantly have to pivot, pivot, pivot. Every time you run into a mountain that's too big to tackle, then you just change directions." "You get to achieve perfection some day but you don't get to start there."
