  • Top Notch

    I have never reviewed a podcast in my life, but I had to take the time to review this one. Great guests, a host who asks all the right questions, and brilliant discussions on the craft of writing. I’m not all caught up yet, but I’ve already added a ton of new books to my to-read list thanks to this show. Well done, Mr. Fracassi!

  • For Readers and Writers of Dark Fiction!

    This is a quality podcast with excellent guests and meaningful conversations. If you read horror and are interested in the process of writing or are looking for other authors to read, then this is for you. I find myself taking notes during every episode as Philip and his guests discuss entry points and influences. I am glad that I found this one!

  • Excellent dark fiction related podcast

    This was an excellent conversation between two great dark fiction writers. Mr. Fracassi asks some interesting questions of the renowned Mr. Barron. I would recommend this to other authors and fans alike.
