Join us and three modern masters of speculative poetry for a discussion on creativity, responsibility, technique, and motivation, among more than a handful of other topics. Soak up the knowledge these powerhouse poets have to share and learn about the amazing works they have in progress in poetry, fiction, film, and elsewhere. This is an absolute must listen episode. Come listen in.

Steph, Bev, and Shane were enchanted and regaled with information by Daniel Kraus, co-author of The Shape of Water, with Guillermo Del Toro, The Living Dead, posthumously co-written with George A. Romero, and now, the intrepid reporter who revealed the horrifying truth behind the Burger City murders of 2017. This report--The Ghost That Ate Us--is not for the faint of heart, but highly recommended to them anyway. Give it a listen! It's a damn good one. 

You guys, what an amazing conversation we had with historian, PHD candidate, and fascinating student of mummified things, Lauren HR Bruce.

Come listen to us talk mummies and a mutual love of horror in one of my favorite conversations this year.
