This is a JAM-PACKED episode as we reach the best single day in the entire year: HALLOWEEN!
Light the pumpkins, spice the cider, and get ready for two hours of spooky, scary goodness!
First, Dan and Brigid discuss the War on Halloween and how they're celebrating the auspicious day.
Then, an interview with Nina Alvarez from Cosmographia books on her newly curated collection: "Early American Gothic: Stories and Poems." They discuss her work as an indie publisher, what Cosmographia's "By Candlelight" series is, and just what the word "gothic" even means!
Finally, a good mix publication opportunities for writers of a more horrific persuasion, including a particularly "ruff" one for LGBT writers!
And, as a bonus, the hosts have recorded some of their favorite bits of poetry and fiction for you to enjoy throughout the episode, so be sure to listen to every spine-tingling second!
