Your nerd best friends are sitting down with author Brick Marlin, creator of The Zephnarr Phase, for an in-depth (and delightfully weird) dive into the world of horror, sci-fi, and the writing life. Analese nerds out over Brick’s surreal world-building and twisted storytelling, Rob gets into the creative process of crafting something truly original, and the whole crew talks about what makes horror so endlessly fascinating for nerds like us.

If you love eerie worlds, indie authors, and creative minds that live just left of center—this one’s for you.
