Joshua Hull - 8114
from The ARC Party Hosted by Robb Olson
Joshua Hull is from a small town in Indiana, in which his home address was 8114. He has written a book where the protagonist is from a small town in Indiana, in which his home address is 8114. That’s where the similarities begin, but it’s far from where they end. Inspired by a horrible and terrifying nightmare, Hull has written a homecoming story chocked full of nostalgia, old trauma, witches, high school buddies, spoiled earth, small town cops, movie references, and quite possibly a real demon. The protagonist is a podcaster who hopped on the true crime bandwagon with stars in his eyes, hoping to garner some fame while doing justice to a former classmate who went missing long ago. But when those hopes and dreams are crushed, Paul is summoned home only to discover another schoolmate has ended his life in Paul’s childhood home. What can Paul do? Podcast about it, that’s what. Hell bent on redemption and getting to the bottom of this awful situation, Paul picks up the mic and dives into lore and personal memories he has spent a decade sprinting away from. Punctuated with levity, it’s a frightening story of revisiting old ghosts - in this case literal ones - and coming to terms with the horrors of the past. And if that doesn’t sell it for you, we also spend a good chunk of time talking about Edgar Wright movies, Walton Goggins, The Nice Guys, and the Predator.
