from The Night Crew Podcast · host Brad Ricks
In this episode of The Night Crew Podcast, Brad Ricks sits down with Andrew Najberg for a deep dive into horror writing, indie publishing, and the passion it takes to keep dark stories alive. Andrew talks about his journey from poetry and fiction to publishing novels like The Mobius Door, Gollitok, Extinction Dream, The Neverborn Thief, and Eat the Light, while also helping shape the horror landscape as co-owner and co-editor-in-chief of Wicked House Publishing. They dig into what makes a manuscript stand out, what small presses actually do behind the scenes, how authors can build discipline, and why horror remains one of the most powerful genres for atmosphere, fear, and emotional truth. The conversation also covers Aliens, xenomorphs, post-apocalyptic horror, publishing advice, short story collections, and the long game of becoming a better writer. This is a must-listen for fans of indie horror, author interviews, small press publishing, science fiction horror, monster stories, and behind-the-scenes conversations about how horror books get made.
