This week on Talking Scared we are joining hands with Chuck Wendig to take the fight to Big Fruit. They have been lying to us about apples all our lives. Chuck's new novel, Black River Orchard is all about apples. Tasty, evil, corruptive. The book grows from the fertile soil of American small-town horror, and we talk about some texts in that storytelling style, as well as how Chuck himself approaches writing such big books with so many character arcs. We also cover apple-lore, how politics fits into horror fiction, the appeal of violent characters and a whole lot of books we think you should read. Enjoy. This book is a great way to say goodbye to summer. Black River Orchard was published on September 26th by Del Rey Books mentioned: Fever House (2023), by Keith RossonRing Shout (2020), by P.

Aye, welcome to Scotland! Alright, we'll stop with the Scottish accent, but we won't stop going to the lovely highlands, and more specifically, Loch Ness, which really just means a big old lake. But this lake has a secret, not only just a dinosaur of a cryptid, but the residence of the man from the Ozzy Osbourne song, Mr. Crowley.Jake hits us up with the Boleskine House and all of the portals that Aleister Crowley decided to just leave open, resulting in a few murders, possibly. Davis takes us on a cryptid adventure all around the world to deal with various different countries. And Lisa tells us all about just how this Loch became so popular, and how the house beside it has burnt down so many times.We're approaching spooky season, so you don't want to miss subscribing to The Possibly Paranormal Podcast. We've only just begun with episode 123. So come back soon and experience all the creepy joys that come around with Halloween. And listen to TPPP 123: Loch Ness!Support the show

Ring-A-Round the Rosie does not have a good history to it. If you haven't learned what the song is actually about, you will learn by the end of this episode. But it has a massive tie into the happenings of Poveglia, an island so haunted, the Italian people won't even talk about it. Now it sits abandoned due to all of the happenings that we are about to talk about.Davis gets his pants scared off by the various amounts of just horribleness that happens here, while doing a whole quiz on various pastas and other Italian words. Jake gets into some mad doctors, some shell-shocked Americans, and a seemingly screaming island. And Lisa goes through the history that involves the plague and an asylum. Two not great things to have in your history.Poveglia started in 421. Now, it is completely abandoned and nobody wants to go to it. They don't even want to talk about it, but don't worry, we took it on just for you. We did it for all you fans of The Possibly Paranormal Podcast. This on the 122nd episode.

Clay McLeod Chapman returns to Talking Scared to answer some serious questions, the first being what the holy f**k Clay?! Clay has never been a writer to shy away from a high concept challenge (haunted mushrooms, anyone?) but his latest novel, What Kind of Mother goes into the uncharted regions of the mind and soul, dredging the craziest of horrors from the murky waters of his native Chesapeake Bay. We talk the terrors of both adolescence and parenthood, the terrible power of imagination, why Virginia still beckons his storytelling home … and crabs. Ohhhh we'll get to the crabs! Clay is a great writer, a wonderful person and a good friend of the show. I hope you enjoy this episode.

We Found A Town ABANDONED In The Mountains. SOMETHING In It Didnt Want Us To Leave!
I'm back, partially rested and with some romance lingering in my soul. Good timing, cos this week's episode focuses on the heart as well as the blood that it pumps. Isabel Cañas returns to the show to talk about her second novel, Vampires of El Norte – a sweeping historical love-story set against a backdrop of class tumult, war and … yeah… vampires. It's not a spoiler guys – it's in the title! Isabel speaks so eloquently about the relationship between vampirism and cultural legacy, about how it isn't only the undead who invade your space and drain your essence. She describes the intense, insane schedule of writing the book, how landscape invites the supernatural, Mexican boogeymen and boogeywomen, and historical fiction as feminist conundrum. Enjoy. With heart, soul and viscera.
