    The guests that come on this show are great but this show needs a new host. The host doesn’t add much to the show.

  • Unique conversations about books and writing

    Alan does a great job of getting to an author’s motivation for writing a book and what they hope to achieve from their work. The non-fiction, true crime perspective that he brings to interviewing fiction authors makes for a unique conversation that highlights the need for research and careful story development in both fiction and non-fiction.

    These losers put their politics into every episode but yet they have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about, so incredibly stupid.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Nick Cutter - The Dorians
Q: What about the emotional arc of the characters? How should readers feel at the end?
Readers should feel a sense of seized opportunity tempered by the recognition that immortality alters the fabric of life; the ending aims to be fair and honest to the premise, avoiding a traditional happy ending while delivering emotional resonance and philosophical closure.
Nick Cutter - The Dorians
Q: What is the subtext or moral underneath the longevity premise, and how does it shape the world you imagine?
The longevity premise serves as a moral probe about what people would sacrifice for extended life, raising questions about birth rates, social structure, and humanity's essence; the story asks readers to weigh personal desire against collective consequences.
Nick Cutter - The Dorians
Q: When you write these horrors, where do the ideas come from and what do you want to achieve?
Ideas come from a blend of personal observation, curiosity about human thresholds, and a desire to probe how people confront mortality; the goal is to balance intense, boundary-pushing moments with authentic character development so the story feels earned rather than sensational.
Nick Cutter - The Dorians
Q: Nick, what is it about horror that keeps readers coming back and across the spectrum for so long?
Horror sustains interest because it lets readers confront fear in a controlled way, offers the adrenaline rush, and provides a framework to explore deeper questions about humanity and mortality, while allowing the reader to engage with darker curiosities without surrendering moral clarity.
JC Moore - Secrets From A Serial Killer
Q: So what's going to happen when you stop the books, when you finish like book five and it's done?
Moore explains that he would revisit the characters by proxy through new FBI characters introduced in the cult storyline and would miss Shauna, indicating future potential appearances or spin-offs rather than a clean ending.
