Macabre Daily's PAPER CUTS Podcast #101 with Guest Carter Keane (April 2026)

There are books that sit on the shelf for eternity, the moment you’ve finished with them. Then there are books that are so good they're destined to be passed around from friend to friend, family to family, until the original owner gets a dog-eared, spine-cracked, torn-cover casualty back that shows all the signs of being well-read. Carter Keane’s “Morsel” is just that kind of book. A thrilling, quick read that keeps you on the edge of your seat the moment it gets going. We’re used to books packing a punch early on and then slowing down to catch their breath. “Morsel” hits the gas and never lets up. This novella will keep your blood pressure in the red until the very last page. Carter joined us to talk about their real-life work experience that was the catalyst for the book, the toxic destruction of corporate America, and even worse, Hustle Culture, and the Appalachian folklore at the heart of the story. Carter is fascinating, genuine, and fun as hell. We had the best time chatting, and couldn’t get enough of our new “must-read” author. Have a listen to our conversation, and enjoy!
