Neil McRobert on Horror, Literature, Podcasting and a Film Called "Aterrados."

We sit down with Neil McRobert of the "Talking Scared Podcast" to pick his lovely brain on how he began his incredible journey toward becoming horror literature's "must-be-on " podcast four years after starting. Along the way, we learn how horror on the page and screen is certainly having an incredible moment, and 2024 has been off the charts with books and movies that really pack a wallop! As we get into Demian Rugna's "Aterrados" we learn that this might not be the movie Neil was expecting and what really scares him. We hope you enjoy this fantastic conversation with a remarkable voice in horror.
