David James Keaton's work has been widely published. His contribution to Plots With Guns #10 was named a Notable Story of 2010 by storySouth's Million Writers Award, and his (totally foolproof) casino scam in Crime Factory #8 won the 2012 Spinetingler Award for the Best Short Story on the Web. His first collection, FISH BITES COP! Stories to Bash Authorities (Comet Press), was named the 2013 Short Story Collection of the Year by This Is Horror. His second collection of short fiction, STEALING PROPELLER HATS FROM THE DEAD (Perpetual Motion Machine), received a Starred Review from Publishers Weekly, who said, "Decay, both existential and physical, has never looked so good." His first novel, THE LAST PROJECTOR (Broken River), was called "A loopy, appealing mix of popular culture and thoroughly crazy people" by Kirkus Reviews, and his second novel, the western PIG IRON (Burnt Bridge), was recently optioned for film. He has also been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, was the Editor-in-Chief and co-founder of Flywheel Magazine, and the co-editor of HARD SENTENCES: Crime Fiction Inspired by Alcatraz and TALES FROM THE CRUST: An Anthology of Pizza Horror. His last novel, HEAD CLEANER (Datura), was called "a nonstop thrill ride blending science fiction, horror, and a lot of humor, for readers who enjoy Chuck Palahniuk and Lauren Beukes" by Library Journal. He's also tinkering with several screenplays, including a prison movie, a thriller, and a western, and will probably adapt them into novels. He realizes this method is probably backwards. http://davidjameskeaton.com/ CORE Products: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/browse.php?filters=100202_0_0_0_0 https://www.etsy.com/shop/MidwestResinGeek https://www.patreon.com/legendsoftabletop Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net

Find all my social media HEREMax Booth III has been tearing things up on the horror scene for a while now, and his latest contribution to the mayhem is a new short story collection, ABNORMAL STATISTICS. It's dark, bleak, weird, and concerningly autobiographical.Michael David Wilson is the founder of This Is Horror, and the main host of the This Is Horror podcast. He's been a crucial contributor to the horror book world for over a decade, with his website, podcast, awards, and his own writing. As this is a crossover episode, the format is slightly different. Michael often leads the conversation. but don't worry! There's still plenty of me. Also, after the main discussion, there's about 17 minutes of weird, and likely offensive, outtakes. This is the first of two episodes covering Max's book. We had so much to say that we needed to break up the conversation over multiple recordings. This means that, in the near future, you'll be getting more talk about the stories in this collection, and probably more bragging about our longevity in the business. This podcast is about supporting our beloved creators, and so here is your opportunity!

This interview is overdue on the podcast. David James Keaton is a guest I have wanted on many times before. His work circles around bizarro, science fiction, and horror. His latest novel Head Cleaner is one I was looking forward to for some time. Head Cleaner is a Sci-fi horror hybrid that exists pays loving homage to the VHS era and more importantly the random video stores. In this discussion, we talk about movies, video stores, VHS time distortion, and this mind-bending and at times hilarious novel. Don't worry we give a spoiler warning before we get into details. David James Keaton's writing has appeared in over 75 publications, online and in print. He received his MFA from the University of Pittsburgh and was the co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of Flywheel Magazine. His first collection of fiction, FISH BITES COP! Stories To Bash Authorities (Comet Press), was named the 2014 Short Story Collection of the Year by This Is Horror and was also a finalist for the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award. Kirkus Reviews called his debut novel, THE LAST PROJECTOR (Broken River Books), "A world of wild fiction… rapidly paced and loaded with humor... a loopy, appealing mix of popular culture and thoroughly crazy people." His second collection of fiction, STEALING PROPELLER HATS FROM THE DEAD (PMMP) •You can find my books here: Amazon-https://www.amazon.com/David-Agranoff/e/B004FGT4ZW •And me here: Goodreads-http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2988332.David_Agranoff Twitter-https://twitter.com/DAgranoffAuthor Blog-http://davidagranoff.blogspot.com/

This Is Horror's Bob Pastorella stops by to talk about the complexity of Brian De Palma's BODY DOUBLE. We chat about reality vs. perception, identity, desire, the roles we expect others to play, and whether De Palma was trolling us. We also talk about Bob Pastorella and Michael David Wilson's new book THEY'RE WATCHING.

This week we're excited to welcome Michael David Wilson and Bob Pastorella to discuss their latest novel, They're Watching, which is out now via This is Horror.

We had a a lot of fun recording this episode and we hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did.

On today’s show, we forego the usual Great Writers Share format, as we turn off the lights, ignite some candles, place our Jack-o-Lanterns in the windows and invite the monsters in for a special Halloween episode of, what our guests have lovingly dubbed, the Great Writers Scare podcast.The premise is simple. Four horror writers. Ninety minutes of unfiltered time to discuss all things horror writing. But who are these other three writers, you might be wondering. Joining Dan today we have one of our regular co-hosts, sci-fi and horror author, John Crinan, as well as two powerhouses in the horror community. I’m excited to welcome back to the show, the founder and host of the This Is Horror podcast, Michael David Wilson, and to say hello for the first time to his glamorous (but haunting) co-host, Bob Pastorella.In this episode we go deep into:Why do we write horror?Our earliest horror experiencesWhy are we not repulsed by horror?What has 2020 brought to horror, and how has the pandemic shaped writers of the genre?Michael and Bob’s new book, “They’re Watching"Michael and Bob’s collaboration process when writing the bookJohn Crinan’s story as featured on Hawk & Cleaver’s “The Halloween Horrors of Mill Lane” limited seriesThe Other Stories anthology, edited by Daniel WillcocksFind out more about Dan, John, Michael, and Bob:www.danielwillcocks.comhttps://www.johncrinan.com/https://www.michaeldavidwilson.co.uk/https://www.thisishorror.co.uk/about/staff/bob-pastorella/Links from the show:Michael’s Interview on the show: https://pod.link/1473869415/episode/NmM2NWRjMTctZDA3Yy00Y2VlLWI0N2MtMTA5NDMxODQ2MTlmMichael and Bob’s, "They’re Watching": https://books2read.com/u/4A7YGdMichael David Wilson’s, "The Girl in the Video": https://books2read.com/u/b5krzRBob Pastorella’s "Mojo Rising": https://books2read.com/u/m2Mvn7Chuck Palahniuk’s “Guts”: http://readfulltext.blogspot.com/2013/10/guts-by-chuck-palahniuk.htmlLet’s Scare Jessica to Death: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067341/Night of the Living Dead: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063350/Texas Chainsaw Massacre: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072271/Poltergeist: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084516/Stephen King’s “Cujo”: https://books2read.com/u/bQd9XdAn American Werewolf in London:

This week, we're excited to welcome Michael David Wilson to the show to celebrate the release of his brand new debut novella The Girl in the Video which is out now through Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing. Chances are if you're a fan of horror fiction, you're already well aware of Michael as he is the founder of the website and podcast This Is Horror, which has run for 350 episodes and counting and features him and Bob Pastorella interviewing some of the biggest names in the genre. It's a great podcast and one of the biggest influences on our show and if you aren't already a listener, head over and dive into some of their previous episodes. The Girl in the Video is a terrifying story that Michael has pitched as "The Ring meets Fatal Attraction for the iPhone generation", and I don't think there is a better description for it. Without delving into spoilers, I will say that Michael taps into isolation and the fears about our digital privacy to craft a pretty gripping premise that might make you want to delete all of your social media profiles. If you haven't checked it out, definitely pick up a copy. During the course of the episode, we discuss the beginnings of the This Is Horror Podcast, dealing with anxiety, interview styles, profanity, discussing ejaculation with Max Booth III, the origins of The Girl in the Video, negative reviews, a possible The Girl in the Video film, dealing with the pandemic, isolation and technology as themes, The House of Bad Memories, favorite Peep Show scenes, Peeper Ritual, Bob Pastorella being his prizefighter, what he's into lately, and so much more.

This Is Horror's Michael David Wilson joins Brian to discuss time management for writers, his friendship with Bob Pastorella, and his new book THE GIRL IN THE VIDEO. Plus, Brian, Kelli, and Mary discuss how America's rush to reopen is impacting writers, and how low-budget horror film THE WRETCHED was able to dominate the box office. And don't miss a special end-of-show cameo by author Robert Ford.

In this episode we chat with Michael David Wilson, the founder, editor in chief, and podcast host over at This Is Horror. Michael has done amazing work to promote the horror genre and has provided an invaluable resource for writers at all stages of their careers. In this conversation, we take a deep dive into his early writing (you won’t want to miss his retelling of James and the Chocolate Tree!), we explore his religious upbringing and how that connects to his love of horror. We also talk about the path that led him to start This Is Horror, and we learn about his forthcoming novella, The Girl in the Video, out next year from Perpetual Motion Machine Publishing.

In this episode we’re discussing Victor LaValle’s The Changeling, which is about “One man’s thrilling journey through an enchanted world to find his wife, who has disappeared after supposedly committing an unforgivable act of violence, from the award-winning author of the The Devil in Silver, Big Machine and The Ballad of Black Tom." Show Notes Mackenzie has an exciting announcement! Lisa talks about how this book examines how fucking scary social media and our technology-driven lives are and made it scarier than it already is. Lisa discusses "the pivotal scene" in the book Mackenzie talks about word choice and repetition, and how that’s a fairy tale thing. Lisa agrees and discusses the repetition of Apollo's dream. This Is Horror podcast episode 161, interview with Victor LaValle Lisa discusses echoes of great authors. Stephen King: Pet Sematary; Neil Gaiman: American Gods; Joe Hill: The Fireman Mackenzie ponders the purpose of the North Brother Island in the book Mackenzie rants: The fact that Emma is a witch is never fucking used! Not REALLY. Lisa counters this with her own thoughts. Mackenzie and Lisa each share what they learned from this book. Favorite quotes. Favorite parts. Thank you to Audra Figgins for your recent iTunes review! We are so grateful for the support.

"Stories of the Fair Folk are not at all then what we think of as fairy tales, those moralistic stories wherein evil is punished and virtue triumphs, that were set safely in once upon a time, and had happy endings guaranteed.
