Michael David Wilson joins me to discuss his new book, Daddy's Boy (of which I highly recommend reading), but we delve into even deeper territory. We also discuss which genre his books fall into, depression and anxiety, impostor syndrome, and overcoming those obstacles. I had a great time talking with MDW.

I make a huge announcement here. Also, I may have accidentally called this episode 46 when in reality, it is episode 47! As you can see, the SAD is in full swing, and my brain is slush. And this along with the certain world events has contributed to a grumpy host and a fairly poor reading month.

Richard Thomas is an incredibly gifted and award-winning writer. His novels include Disintegration, Breaker, Transubstantiate, and most recently, Incarnate. Incarnate is one of the most unique novels I have read. In this episode, we discuss his writing, especially Incarnate, his wonderful prose, and the ideas swarming inside his skull.

Peter O'Keefe started his career working with George R. Romero on the television series Tales from the Darkside. His recent novel retells the classic Frankenstein story told within the dreary apocalyptic landscape of late 90s Detroit. We discuss the corpse that was Detroit during the 90s, his time writing scripts, his short movies, and Counted with the Dead.

I asked him to come on to discuss his latest book, Drowning in the Drink, which is a powerful look at addiction and grief. We'll also discuss his favourite horror movies, authors, his horror origin story, and much more.
