THE CARETAKER with Marcus Kliewer

Marcus Kliewer on The Caretaker | Horror Author Interview | Quills & Chills What happens when grief, money, and bad decisions collide? In this episode of Quills & Chills, I sit down with Marcus Kliewer to break down The Caretaker, a psychological horror story that starts grounded and keeps tightening the screws. Macy is a broke college grad, grieving her father and trying to care for her younger sister. When she takes a questionable Craigslist job, survival overrides instinct, and the story doesn’t let up. We get into: * Writing flawed characters whose choices still feel inevitable * The story’s “rights” system and its connection to OCD * Structuring a narrative as a one-way descent * Influence from Dark Souls II * Balancing reality vs perception * Why Oregon, specifically Salem, shapes the tone Marcus also previews what’s next, including another release this year and a darker, more expansive story in the same universe.

NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD With Luke Dumas

In this episode of Quills & Chills, I’m joined by USA Today bestselling author Luke Dumas to talk about Nothing Tastes as Good, a body-horror thriller about a man over 300 pounds who joins a clinical trial for a miracle weight-loss drug and starts changing faster than he can understand. The results are extreme. So are the side effects, including missing time and urges he can’t explain. We get into the psychology behind it, the slippery pull of becoming someone new, and how the book builds tension through fragmented storytelling and strained relationships. If you like your horror a little uncomfortable, this one sticks with you.
