Reviews
- Eerily Good!
This show is the gothic/horror book club of my dreams. I've learned so much from listening to the host's in-depth and thoughtful discussions with a spectacular lineup of writers. I especially appreciate when the conversation delves into structure, craft, and the writing process. Most of all, I love that it's not all about the scares here, but that horror is evaluated on the strength of its heart as well. Give it a listen, and watch your TBR list grow to monstrous proportions!

It is one of the most fascinating discussions of books and literature in the podcasting arena. But it doesn’t stop there, Neil is a thoughtful, well read, and erudite host and asks his guests some great questions. I have learned so much about subjects I ‘thought’ I knew about, been challenged in my ways of thinking, and had my perceptions changed m... more

Canada3 months ago - A more in-depth horror podcast
I listen to several horror lit podcasts, and this shuffles in and out of first place as my favorite. When compared to other podcasts interviewing the same authors about the same books Neil always has the more interesting questions, and takes the interview down strange little avenues that the other podcasts don’t touch. The updates are a highlight of my week. more
