Part two of the conversation with author Joe Citro

from The Ink-stained Wretch with G. Michael Dobbs, News and Views from Western Massachusetts · host Gordon Michael Dobbs

This week on the podcast, the second part of my conversation with author and folklorist Joseph Citro. As I mentioned last week, Joe's many books collect odd histories and occurrences throughout New England have earned him an enviable reputation. Joe is not a ghosthunter. He researches and chronicles fascinating people, events, and the unexplainable. In today's podcast, Joe relates when his success with his non-fiction books – remember he is also an acclaimed horror novelist – led to a possible ghostwriting job with self-proclaimed demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. That name doesn't ring a bell? Some of their books have inspired a franchise of horror films, The Conjuring series. Their written works has also brought about the haunted doll series "Annabelle." The Warrens became celebrities and darlings of the media and although both have passed, their names and reputations – and estate – have grown thanks to the movies. Joe sheds some light on the pair, especially Ed Warren, in this candid conversation. The Netflix documentary I mentioned is "The Devil on Trial." It is very much worth watching.
