312. David Hankins on Writing SF Humor and “Death and the Dragon”

from Writers of the Future Podcast · host John Goodwin

David Hankins was a “Writers of the Future Volume 39” winner in 2023 with his short story “Death and the Taxman.” In this interview, we discuss science fiction comedy vs. satire and its value to the overall genre. He has since gone on to create a series based on his short story. The first was appropriately titled “Death and the Taxman,” and the second, now releasing, “Death and the Dragon.” He was a guest earlier as a winner and you can hear him in episodes 238 and 239 with fellow winners following the awards gala.
