Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rebekah Faubion on What a Nightmare
Q: Do you want to briefly introduce the synopsis of it and then we'll go from there?
Faubion describes Haven as a woman whose nightmares affect reality. After accidentally killing her boss, Haven returns to her Texas hometown when she learns her estranged father is dying, hoping to understand her power and make amends.
Rebekah Faubion on What a Nightmare
Q: Where did this begin for you? Like, what was the inspirational point, the nugget?
While developing pitches for adult horror, Faubion woke from a dream with the idea that a woman's nightmares could affect reality. She connected the concept to being called a nightmare as a child and to her interest in monstrous femininity.
Maisie Culver on Of Monsters and Menses
Q: How did you land on telling this particular story about women's birth control?
Culver wanted to explore what happens when a controlled, highly organized woman lets go. The story began with conversations about birth control and the question of whether stopping the pill could make someone feel like a different person.
Maisie Culver on Of Monsters and Menses
Q: What has your relationship with horror been like? Have you always been interested in it, or did you come to it later?
Culver says she loved horror from childhood, studied it in college and graduate school, and is drawn to its ability to trigger an exciting physical reaction and reveal what individuals and societies fear.
Tanya Pell on This B Just Won’t Die!
Q: What was the very first inspiration point for wanting to do this and why now for Barb's story?
The inspiration grew from looking at how traditional horror treats final girls and the way aging women are perceived in the genre. Tanya explains she started with the idea and first line in 2023, then shifted focus to Barb to explore agency, body image, and empowerment within a meta-horror framework. The book evolved as she connected her own experiences with the horror community and the cultural moment, aiming to subvert expectations while honoring the genre's rhythms.
