A conversation with writer Joseph Citro

It is a personal pleasure to share with you a two-part presentation of a conversation I recently had with my good friend Joesph Citro. I've had the good fortune of knowing him for decades as he not only just a great person he is also a very talented writer. A Vermonter through and through, Joe has established two careers as a writer – the first as an acclaimed horror novelist and the second as a folklorist and historian who has collected in book after book odd and inexplicable New England stories. With considerable research, Joe has recounted hundreds of stories about hauntings, odd historical events, lake monster and Big Foot sightings, ancient stone structures and much more from all the New England. As Joe is quick to point out, he is not a ghost hunter or paranormal investigator, but rather a writer with an open mind looking for a good story. And boy, has he found many! Recently, he has been putting his earlier novels back into print, including "Shadow Child," "Lake Monsters," and most recently "The Gore." Check out Joe's books at https://www.amazon.com/stores/Joseph-A.-Citro/author/B001JSJOOK?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true Next week, the conversation will turn to Joe's experience with controversial "demonologists" Ed and Lorraine Warren.
