In this episode, Daniel sits down with the authorial powerhouse Michael David Wilson — founder of This Is Horror, host of the award-winning This Is Horror Podcast, and author of The Girl in the Video, They’re Watching (with Bob Pastorella), House of Bad Memories, and his latest wild release, Daddy’s Boy.

Michael opens up about the chaos and catharsis behind his newest book, blending dark comedy with horror and crime, and the very real experiences that shaped it. From divorces and new beginnings to cult followings, sausages, and Naked Attraction t-shirts, this is a conversation equal parts raw, funny, and inspiring.

💀 In this episode you’ll discover:

• How personal trauma can fuel fiction (and whether to write in the moment or after).
• Why Michael’s latest book is his most unhinged — and most fun — yet.
• The balance (and tension) between authenticity vs. commercial success.
• What’s next for Michael, including a new novella and long-awaited collaborations.
