Blending Jewish Mythology and Horror gives author John Baltisberger a very unique voice in Horror Fiction. When I narrated his novella Blood & Mud, I knew I was narrating something very special and loved every minute of it.

On this week’s episode, John and I discuss his journey into becoming an author as well as his journey into Judaism.

About John Baltisberger:

John never thought he would write horror or darker fiction, he was planning on writing fantasy. But something about setting all of the occult and fantastical elements of fantasy just behind the backdrop of the modern world appealed to him, and he wanted to introduce the world to the incredible mythology of mythic Judaism.

He spends his time squirreled away fervently working on the next book or engaging in the ‘Obliterate the Globe’ project, only taking breaks to record episodes of Madness Heart Radio and Wandering Monster, or to eat, or to play with puppies. John lives with his patient and gorgeous wife Desiree, and maniacal and powerful daughter Aziza. You can find him and the project at www.KaijuPoet.com

When I narrated my segment of Glenn Rolfe’s Land Of Bones entitled “Not In Kansas Anymore” for Fireside Horror, Glenn quickly became a favorite horror author of mine.  His punk rock attitude and understanding and deconstructing of Horror tropes contribute to his unique voice in Horror fiction.

On this episode we discuss Land of Bones, Blood and Rain (narrated by Phil Thron and out now on Fireside Horror!), Until Summer Comes Around and much more.

2020 was by all means a crazy year. Full of many ups and downs.

One of my favorite discoveries last year was an impeccably curated “Subscription Box” company called Night Worms. They curate these wonderful monthly boxes specifically for Horror Readers! Each month I look forward to my package of horror delights, and they’ve never disappointed.

Sadie Hartmann (aka “Mother Horror”) joins me on this episode to discuss her company as well as her love for Horror Fiction.
