Then, Dan talks with poet and musician Joseph Van Buren, who has recently had his work appear in Haunted Are These Houses from Unnerving, and who has released his latest chapbook of dark poems “Mask: Persona.

Finally, a trip into the terrifying world of erotic horror literature, a discussion of the BS “LGBT” genre, and a round of publishing opportunities picked especially for only our spookiest listeners.
