Grace Reynolds on Neon Moon

HOWDY! Happy bonus episode Friday! Grace Reynolds joins me to talk about Neon Moon, her slasher novella that is out now with Dark Matter Ink! We chat about y’allternative, country music, slasher kills, and managing heart and humor within the subgenre. Getting to talk to Grace always makes my day better, and this episode is no exception! I also want to point out, every podcaster’s worst nightmare happened on this recording in which my computer blue-screened halfway through. We were able to salvage the bulk of the interview, but Grace was such a reassuring presence while I crashed out, I am forever in her debt!

Abby Vail on Writhe

Trigger warnings for this episode: Abby and I discuss some very important, but also dark topics surrounding the following - gun violence, school shootings, child abuse, and child neglect. We discuss her novel, Writhe, in detail which includes spoilers around the 38 minute mark so beware if you’d like to read before listening as well! Unpacking her debut novel, Abby Vail joins me to discuss Writhe which is available now from Sobelo Books! This discussion is near and dear to me as we cover topics that aren’t easy to cover. The lens that Abby approaches these things is so insightful and nuanced, and I am incredibly grateful for her honesty around this subject! We also discuss her story that is included in Truborn Press’ Punk Goes Horror II anthology, “Circle With Me.” To order a copy of Abby’s works or keep up with her on social media, check out the links below: * Abby’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abbyvailwrites/?hl=en [https://www.instagram.com/abbyvailwrites/?hl=en] * Abby’s BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/abbyvail.bsky.social * Abby’s Threads: https://www.threads.com/@abbyvailwrites?xmt=AQG07cgQanTA8PNn_82Bsa7TpJbfCvwPdkxs2nqjMU7-RcU [https://www.threads.com/@abbyvailwrites?xmt=AQG07cgQanTA8PNn_82Bsa7TpJbfCvwPdkxs2nqjMU7-RcU] * Abby’s Website: https://abbyvailauthor.com/ * To Order Writhe: https://sobelobooks.com/shop/p/writhe?utm_source=threads&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio [https://sobelobooks.com/shop/p/writhe?utm_source=threads&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio] * To Order Punk Goes Horror II: https://www.trubornpress.com/shop/p/pgh2?utm_source=threads&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio [https://www.trubornpress.com/shop/p/pgh2?utm_source=threads&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio] This is a public episode.
