S.E. Howard and the Haunting Weight of Survival

What happens when trauma doesn’t end—it mutates? In this episode, I sit down with S.E. Howard, whose debut novel The Vessel strips away pretense to expose the raw aftermath of abduction, memory loss, and survival. We talk sex work, shame, emotional fragmentation—and why the scariest parts of horror aren’t always supernatural.This one’s for listeners who want more than surface-level horror. It’s about what happens after the worst is over—and what it costs to keep going.👉 Buy the book:The Vessel on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Vessel-Novel-S-Howard-ebook/dp/B0F63V8WBFThe Vessel on Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-vessel-se-howard/1147349609👉 Follow S.E.
