Cromtober 2023 Episode 1: An Interview with John Langan!

Greetings, Cromrades! We're kicking off our 2023 Halloween festivities with a bang! We're pleased and thankful to have had the opportunity to chat with Mr. Gaunt, otherwise known as John Langan! We meander around a ton of topics, discussing horror writing styles, the importance of regionalism in horror, the focus / intent of the Corpsemouth collection, John's experiences and influences on 'The Fisherman,' the ephemerality of a genre's canon, the nature of 'monsters,' Halloween traditions, how our fears change, and of course John's pulp / REH influences! Join us, won't you?
