Playing in the Destructive Sandbox with Marcus Kliewer

Everybody and their mom knows Marcus Kliewer (I can personally attest to this, my mom is a huge fan!). His debut novel We Used to Live Here began life as a serialized short story on Reddit, where it won the Scariest Story of 2021 award on the NoSleep forum. Film rights were snapped up by Netflix, and it was acquired by Simon & Schuster for publication even before it had been extended into a full-length novel. His second novel, The Caretaker, is out now from 12:01 Books.Join us as we discuss story construction as a destructive sandbox, moving from NoSleep forums to the New York Times Bestseller List, and how writing horror helped him reach an OCD diagnosis.Connect with Marcus: https://www.instagram.com/marcus_kliewer/?hl=enConnect with Viggy: https://viggyhampton.comPurchase A Veritable Household Pet along with Viggy’s other books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B082DC79CG/allbooks?ingress=0&lp_context_query=viggy+parr+hampton&visitId=de1e27e5-1287-480a-b6e5-8e57fcd3f214&ref_=ap_rdr&ccs_id=d71bd3f1-0606-455c-b57f-3eb3635a30d1Sound effects courtesy of Pixabay and AppleKeep up with Horror Humor Hunger:- Instagram: @horrorhumorhungerpodcast- Viggy's Instagram: @viggyparrhampton- Twitter: @HHHPodwithViggy- Sign up for Viggy's monthly newsletter at www.viggyhampton.com
