Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Trevor Williamson on Sley House Presents
Q: How did you get started with Sley House Presents and evolve into a multi-show network?
Trevor explains that what began as two friends discussing literature evolved as they invited authors, adapted formats, and gradually took on more shows and a wider set of topics, ultimately expanding into a network with multiple related projects.
Chloe Lauter on The Flayed Man
Q: How did your drafting process shape Ellis and her relationship with her mother?
Drafting was cathartic and emotionally heavy, but it helped me channel real experiences and trauma into a fictional dynamic that remains relatable: a caregiver child dynamic forced to navigate debt, obligation, and love, all while living in a world where the horror is both external and intimately personal.
Sean O'Connor on Paper Cuts
Q: What differences have you noticed between covering horror in film versus literature?
Sean notes that while both spaces share themes, the literature side offers more room for nuanced interpretation and invites more back-and-forth dialogue with authors, which he finds valuable for interviews.
Sean O'Connor on Paper Cuts
Q: When did you start with all of this and what drew you to horror podcasting?
Sean explains his path from film-oriented horror coverage to literature-focused Paper Cuts, driven by a desire to explore deeper storytelling and engage with a broader audience in the horror community.
Lora Senf on Unnamed Bones
Q: What was the process of drafting Unnamed Bones like for you, and how did the story evolve during writing?
Senf describes starting with the title, having a clear high-level arc in mind, and allowing small moments to scale up as the book progresses; she emphasizes that writing often feels like discovery, with organic moments like the tent scene emerging along the way.
