Tell The Damn Story 233: From Childhood To The Grave, The Mindscape of Horror Writer
38m · Published*"Enter freely and of your own will!”
Alex and Chris hang out with punk horror author Carol Gyzander, and catch up with her many exciting projects. From writing to editing multiple short horror fiction, to scaring us with podcast readings and more, for the rest of the summer, Carol really has it going on! (See below.)
It's how-to-and-why-to fascinating conversation with a fascinating person.
1) Forget Me Not is a cryptid novella, published by Systema Paradoxa as part of their series. Each is a stand alone story about a different, somewhat obscure cryptid. Mine is about Bessie, the Lake Erie monster, Basically the story of teenage twins in 1969 Niagara Falls area and their connection to family in 1939 regarding something in the water... more info in the blurb at the Zon:
2) Even in the Grave is a ghost story anthology that I co-edited with James Chambers. Different locations and time periods, but all are ghost stories! One thing to know -- while many of our friends from HWA NY Chapter are in the anthology, it is in no way an official HWA publication and we should not mention it as such. Basically we just asked our friends to submit stories.
3) NEWEST! Short story "Freshest Catch" in Weird House Magazine Issue 1. Something fishy at the fish market on Block Island, off the coast of Rhode Island.
4) COMING SOON! A Woman Unbecoming - a fast-turnaround charity anthology co-edited with Rachel A Brune of Crone Girls Press to benefit reproductive health services. A horror anthology focusing on the theme of righteous rage, anger, and vengeance. Releases August 23.

Tell The Damn Story 232: Did You Know We're All Dr. Who Now
31m · PublishedThis week Alex and Chris discuss how streaming services have obliterated time in space for us all. How with our powerful remotes we can go anywhere in the entertainment verse. And for creatives, any win and the impact of that, is well worth noting.
How is that useful to emerging writers, you might ask?
Books, plays, songs and films reflect the society in which they are created, decade by decade. Culture by culture.
So come on into our a blue telephone booth and let's go flying around the entertainment verse, across platforms and through several decades!
