Aaaaaaand we're back, after a brief holiday hiatus! Let's start the new year off right with a discussion of a very disturbed individual 😈

My newest horror novel, Much Too Vulgar, is about a disturbed pre-med student named Keely who will do anything she can to get into med school… even if it means eliminating her competition. Join me and clinical psychologist Dr. Camille Holiner as we unpack just how ‘disturbed’ a character like Keely truly is. We also touch on trigger warnings, sociopathy, and perfectionism.

Today, I’m joined by writer and producer Barry Levy, whose most recent project, Me, is out now on Apple TV +. His big break came from his original screenplay Vantage Point, and he has since worked with Steven Spielberg and Tom Clancy. In this episode, Barry gives us a behind-the-scenes view of filmmaking as we talk about book-to-big screen adaptations, writing for readers vs. writing for viewers, his advice for budding filmmakers, and more!

I don’t cry often when I read books--especially horror--but IN THE TALL TREES by Angel Van Atta had me sobbing and gasping for air. In this episode, I’m lucky enough to be joined by Angel herself. In addition to being a super talented writer, she’s a wonderful human being. Join us as we discuss writing trauma and grief, horror as catharsis, and what it’s like to be an indie author.

When you’re walking around in nature, you’re probably mostly worried about alligators, bobcats, and bears--but you need to add a new host of fears to that list. Plants like poison ivy, oleander, and hemlock can be irritating at best and downright deadly at worst. Join naturalist Shannon Matzke and me as we discuss some of the most wicked plants imaginable--and how to keep yourself safe.

Between pre-med weeder courses, medical school competition, and the stress of saving lives, medical careers can be cutthroat--pun intended. My fantastic friend and brilliant general surgeon Dr. Abigail Teitelbaum joins us today to talk about her experiences in the medical field and some of the spookiest things she’s experienced.
