Tonight we're chatting with Mark Stevens, author of the new thriller novel NO LIE LASTS FOREVER out in June from Thomas & Mercer, who call NO LIE LASTS FOREVER “Zodiac with a terrifying twist, in a taut thriller from author Mark Stevens about a reformed serial killer and the disgraced journalist he coaxes into finding the imposter trading on his name.” Stevens's book The Fireballer (Lake Union, 2023) was named Best Baseball Novel by Twin Bill Literary Magazine and named one of Best Baseball Books of the Year by Spitball Magazine, and his books Buried by the Roan, Trapline, and Lake of Fire were all finalists for the Colorado Book Award (2012, 2015, and 2016, respectively). Trapline won the Colorado Book Award in 2016 and also received the best genre fiction award from Colorado Authors League. In September 2016, Stevens was named Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers' Writer of the Year, and again in 2023. Stevens hosts a regular podcast for Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers and has served as president of the Rocky Mountain chapter for Mystery Writers of America. And like me he lives in Colorado.CONNECT WITH MARK STEVENS ONLINEOfficial Website: WriterMarkStevens.com Facebook: /writermarkstevens X : @writerstevens Instagram: @mark54stevens TikTok: @mark54stevensBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/castle-of-horror-podcast--4268760/support.
In dieser Episode widme ich mich der Rezension von „Tannenstein“, einem packenden Thriller des Autors Linus Geschke, der in den düsteren Ecken eines abgelegenen Ortes nahe der tschechischen Grenze spielt. Die Geschichte beginnt mit dem grausamen Mord an einer Gruppe von elf Menschen, den nur der Gastwirt überlebt. Der sogenannte „Wanderer“ taucht aus dem Nichts auf und tötet ohne Vorwarnung, was die Ereignisse abrupt ins Rollen bringt. Der Protagonist, Alexander Born, ein ehemaliger Polizist und nun von inneren Dämonen geprägter Mann, sucht verzweifelt nach Rache für den Tod seiner Geliebten, die ebenfalls als Opfer des Wanderers gefallen ist. Born, der nach einem dreijährigen Gefängnisaufenthalt wegen Bestechung neu durchstarten möchte, wird von seinem Drang nach Gerechtigkeit und einem inneren Kompass geleitet. Während er sich auf den Weg nach Tannenstein macht, um die dunklen Geheimnisse seiner Vergangenheit und die Identität des Mörders zu ergründen, wird das Bild von einem komplexen Netzwerk aus Verbrechen und Machtspielen der Russen-Mafia sichtbar. Diese Verbindung zieht sich durch die Handlung und verknüpft die Geschichten der Protagonisten mit den brutalen Realitäten ihrer Welt. Die Charaktere in „Tannenstein“ sind facettenreich und oft moralisch ambivalent, was zu einer fesselnden Dynamik führt. Von Borns Ex-Kollegen, der eher unsympathisch wirkt, bis zu Nora, einer Polizistin, die ebenfalls an dem Fall interessiert ist, wird deutlich, dass niemand in dieser Erzählung die rein gute oder rein schlechte Seite verkörpert. Stattdessen zeigt Geschke, dass Menschen sowohl Licht- als auch Schattenseiten besitzen. Diese Komplexität der Charaktere zieht sich durch die gesamte Erzählung und spiegelt die Unvorhersehbarkeit des Lebens wider. In dieser Rezension beleuchte ich sowohl die erzählerischen Klippen als auch die tiefen Abgründe, die Geschkes Schreibstil prägen. Der Autor schafft es, die Grausamkeiten seines Thrillers nicht bloß durch explizite Gewaltdarstellung zu thematisieren, sondern oft nur anzudeuten. Diese subtile Herangehensweise führt dazu, dass die eigene Fantasie lebendig wird und somit die Entstehung von düsteren, abstoßenden Bildern im Kopf des Lesers vorantreibt, die oft schlimmer sind als jede detaillierte Beschreibung es sein könnte. Zudem reflektiere ich, wie Geschke mit der Lebensrealität und den Strukturen der Russen-Mafia spielt und dabei den Lesern Einblicke in die komplexen Verflechtungen und die psychologischen Facetten der Charaktere gewährt. Am Ende der Episode bleibt die Frage offen, wie es mit Alexanders Born und seiner Rachegeschichte im Fortgang der Trilogie weitergeht. Die Vorfreude auf den nächsten Band ist groß, obwohl ich mir insgeheim Sorgen mache, dass die hohe Messlatte der ersten Geschichte schwer zu halten sein könnte. „Tannenstein“ ist ein Buch, das zum Weiterlesen einlädt, und ich kann jedem nur empfehlen, sich auf diese Reise in die Abgründe der menschlichen Natur zu begeben.

This week, I got to talk with Tori Eldridge about her newest novel Kaua'i Storm. Tori shares the inspiration for the book, how her settings matter so much to her, and how this book had her personally invested in nailing the culture.Kaua'i Storm SynopsisReturning to Kaua‘i, park ranger Makalani finds her family divided and their way of life at risk in this rich and emotional adventure by the bestselling author of the Lily Wong series.After ten years as a national park ranger in Oregon, Makalani Pahukula is back on Kaua‘i for her grandmother's birthday. Having been gone for so long, Makalani finds the disconnect with her people and her struggles have never been more profound. Neither has her need to reacquaint herself with everything she left behind. When she reaches the homestead, she finds a bickering family and the disconcerting news that her cousins—a failed college football player and a rebellious teenage girl—have gone missing.Makalani hopes they just ran off, too careless to realize the worry they've caused. But when hunters find a dead body in the Keālia Forest Reserve, Makalani fears something ominous is at play, and the search for her cousins grows more desperate. Although her help may not be welcomed by family and locals, Makalani is determined to solve a mystery that poses a greater risk than anyone imagines.The investigation will open her heart, reawaken her love for the land she calls home, and strengthen her bond with her family. Because no matter how long she's been away, for Makalani, Hawai‘i is in her blood.

This week, we're going Dutch… Well, sort of. The original spec script describes it as a “Hitchock-ian style thriller with black humor.” However, much like the titular town, in the words of its lead character Nancy Vangergroot, this movie is “like carbon dioxide. It's so sleepy and comfortable, and you won't even know you're suffocating.” It's Mimi Cave's Holland.

Summary: Muahaha! Cower in fear, dear listeners, as Holly and Devin discuss villains… who need a paycheck too. Whether you've worked in Corporate America or just like to imagine hell as an office building, these books will be a home run. Topics Discussed: The Dagger (3:26): Holly discussed Sign Here by Claudia Lux, a satirical exploration of morality and corporate offices following Peyote Trip, a caseworker in the Deals Department of the fifth floor of Hell. Responsible for securing soups by making deals with humans desperate enough to sign away their afterlives, Peyote is on the cusp of a promotion. If he can sign up one more member of the Harrison family he'll get a “Complete Set” - five souls from the same lineage. Holly's key takeaways were: Hell's depiction as a monotonous office environment serves as a critique of bureaucratic inefficiencies and the dehumanizing aspects of corporate life. Peyote's journey reflects a deeper quest for self-understanding and the possibility of redemption, even within the confines of Hell. The novel explores the gray areas of morality, questioning the binary notions of good and evil through its characters' choices and motivations. The Harrison family's dynamics highlight the impact of generational secrets and the lengths individuals go to protect or escape their lineage. For Holly, the premise of the story was stronger than the execution. While it was entertaining throughout, the two storylines of Peyote in Helly and the Harrison Family on Earth don't come together as strongly and clearly as they could have. The Heart (13:20): Devin discussed Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer, a BookTok-sourced Romantasy following Evie Sage, a young woman lying in the magical kingdom of Rennedawn who is in desperate need of a job. After an unfortunate firing and a spell of bad luck, she stumbles into a chance encounter with The Villain and ends up hired as his personal assistant. While yes, there are body parts swinging from the ceiling, his castle runs much like any business and Evie can handle the paperwork. Devin's key takeaways were: This novel highlights a recent publishing trend of storylines and authors becoming popular on social media sites like TikTok before they are published, then being signed by publishing companies to ride the wave of their popularity. Pros include increased diversity and a resurgence of popularity of reading in the zeitgeist, but Holly and Devin review cons like rushed editing and expected tropes as well. Maehrer explores the idea that even villains deserve loyalty, empathy, and maybe even a decent lunch break. It's a workplace comedy... if the workplace had torture chambers. The absurdity of running an evil empire like an office is what makes the “villainous job” theme shine. Capitalism meets chaos magic. While not spicy at all, there are romantic elements to the story. The push-pull between danger and attraction for Evie and The Villain is delicious, especially when the boss could literally smite someone - but instead just broods silently when Evie talks to another guy. Hot On the Shelf (35:54): Holly: My Friends by Fredrik Backman Devin: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Human by Kimberly Lemming What's Making Our Hearts Race (41:47): Holly: The Last of Us Season 2 on HBO Max Devin: Volunteering in her local community Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

Send us a textRemember Collateral from Michael Mann starring Jamie Foxx and arguably the biggest movie star worldwide, Tom Cruise? We didn't remember a lot from this movie either. What we did remember was that it was more realistic than your average action film of the time, and Jada Pinkett Smith seemed normal. But with these two mega stars, this director, and a supporting cast that is downright diabolical, we have high hopes.Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

The Nuggets took Game 1 in Oklahoma City thanks to a late-game 3 from Aaron Gordon, but the big topic of discussion was whether the Thunder should have fouled when they were up three late in the game and Jokic was off the floor. Logan, Raja, and Howard Beck discuss that and whether they saw who the real MVP is during the game. The Knicks defeated the Celtics on the road thanks to 45 (!) missed 3s from Boston and some late-game heroics provided by the NBA Clutch Player of the Year, Jalen Brunson. Plus, what are they hoping to see from the Warriors-Wolves series? Is Ant primed to eliminate another legend? Finally, the mailbag!

Today's word of the day is ‘2.2 seconds' as in Winnipeg Jets as in NHL as in hockey as in Game 7 as in madness. What did we just see? The Jets came back from a 2-goal deficit with 1:55 left. Wow. And then win it in 2OT!? Sorry, St. Louis. What could have been! (7:30) Another Game 7 happened but in the NBA. The Warriors did it on the road. Wow. Steph Curry had a huge 4th quarter. Buddy Hield had the game of his life. (15:30) We talked recently about adding another bag at first base will not happen, but should it? Triston Casas is the latest player to be done for the season after suffering a serious injury running to first. (24:10) So You Wanna Talk to Samson!? Someone asked me about contraction in MLB. What would need to happen for MLB to consider the Rockies or Marlins or Pirates as possible teams to go away? (33:34) Review: Good Night and Good Luck. (42:30) Gregg Popovich is headed to the front office. He was named the preisdent of the Spurs. Sad end to his coaching career, but needed move. The best to ever do it.
