Today, I am joined by Jason A Jones to discuss his first collection, The Pumpkin Pie Man and Other Terrifying Tales ! We talk about vintage horror paperbacks, small town horror, the pulp tradition, Bentley Little, and writing novels for the first time. Jason was one of my first friends on Bookstagram, and seeing his career develop has been a delight!

Today, I am joined by JR Blanes to discuss his debut novel, Portraits of Decay! We talk about art, stories about art, love triangles, choosing perspective characters, naming characters, finding a character’s voice, and looking like Charlie Day in front of a corkboard. This was a wonderful discussion, and you don’t want to miss it, or JR’s book.
