Let's Talk Decay with J.R. Blanes

What would you do if you couldn’t make your art anymore? If you couldn’t write? If you couldn’t cook, or play music, or read? If your creative outlet and passion were taken away? Those are just a few of the horrifying questions I discuss with special guest J.R. Blanes, whose novel Portraits of Decay will make you consider the meaning of art, dark magic, the tension between the Hollywood version of voodoo and the reality, and more! J.R. Blanes is the author of multiple short horror stories, appearing via Wicked Shadow Press, Hiraeth Publishing, Dark Horses Magazine, the NoSleep Podcast, Tales to Terrify and more. His debut novel, the New Orleans-inspired Portraits of Decay, was recently published through Ruadán Books.

Strange Tales with Daniel Braum

Who else loves The Twilight Zone? Who else enjoys being plunged into a strange, surreal world? If this describes you, then join me and author Daniel Braum as we discuss strange tales, why we’re drawn to the macabre, and what we wish we saw more of in the horror world. Daniel Braum writes short stories that explore the tension between the psychological and the supernatural. His debut short story collection The Night Marchers and Other Strange Tales was re-released in 2023 in a new edition from Cemetery Dance Publications.
