Jack Finn is back, and he takes us into the wonderfully twisted world of carnival horror in his latest novel, Wilson. He also gives us some of his recommendations on carnival horror books. We discuss his writing, music, the nearly century-old camera he owns that's featured in Wilson, why carnivals make for great horror stories, how Wilson fits in with his growing mythology, and much more.Please help support Candace Nola if you are able: https://www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-and-critical-need-for-lifesaving-transfusions Check out Jack Finn online: https://therealjackfinn.com/Support Weird Reads:Get AD-FREE episodes on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jason_whiteBuy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/weirdreaderRatings and reviews on Apple Podcasts and/or Spotify really help the show grow! Email Weird Reads: [email protected] - **Note: I'm no longer taking any new guests for 2026 until further notice*Website: https://www.podpage.com/weird-reads/

I stand by the need for more men to support women writers, including myself. But how does a man, like myself, go about doing so? I didn't know if this was a good idea, but my gut told me to go with it. And so, here I welcomed Jen from  @literarylove123  to moderate this panel of fantastic women horror writers. Both of us worked on the questions, but Jen's experience and intelligence made this show what it is. So a big thanks goes to her.In this episode, Jen and I welcome Gwendolyn Kiste, Lindy Ryan, and Sara Tantlinger. We discuss their books, their origin stories, their experiences in the publishing industry, their favourite women horror writers, and what needs to change within the industry for a more accepting and safe environment for women writers.Support Weird Reads:Get AD-FREE episodes on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/jason_whiteBuy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/weirdreaderRating and reviewing on Apple Podcasts and/or Spotify really helps! Email Weird Reads: [email protected] - **Note: I'm no longer taking any new guests for 2026 until further notice*Website: https://www.podpage.com/weird-reads/

Releasing a little late because of the situation in the United States this past weekend involving the murder of Alex Pretti. The beginning of this conversation, however, is creepily relevant, though, as it was recorded shortly after the murder of Renee Good, and Radar and I, still stunned, discuss the horrific implications.No worries, though!

Joshua Ginsberg is a writer of hauntings, ghost stories, and histories of Florida. We discuss those a little in this episode, but focus on his collection of short stories, Tales From The Dusty Tiger. This episode was nearly lost. I thought I had posted it, but what really happened was that the audio file survived in the cloud after my now old computer took a nose dive off a table and died. The video did not survive for whatever reason. So, somewhere along the line, I forgot to post it, even though I thought I had.

In this episode of Weird Reads, I sit down with author and artist Chris Panatier for a conversation that spans the heavy and the cosmic. We dive into his love of heavy metal bands and how music fuels his creativity, his experience designing album cover art, and why movies like Interstellar capture both the wonder and terror of space.Chris also shares his thoughts on astrophysics, the awe-inspiring scale of the universe, and how writing fiction can be a way to confront your deepest fears.

Micklos to talk about his gripping new book Tick Town, a fun tale that blends classic giant monsters and small-town dread. We also explore his history with making horror movies before digging into the book’s origins and themes.Along the way, we trade thoughts on big bug horror and the pulpy paperbacks of the '70s and '80s.

We also explore how his work blends speculative elements with emotional realism, and why the scariest things are sometimes the least explained.

This episode is different from the typical Weird Reads episodes. First, I welcome a science fiction author onto the show, M.R. Leonard. Second, M.R. Leonard is a practicing Catholic, and his book, Pilgrims, is a first-contact story about Catholic aliens. You read that correctly—Catholic aliens. This doesn't necessarily make Pilgrims Christian science fiction. Listen in to see why. Also check out Michael's book, Pilgrims as it is a fascinating look into religion.We also discuss a great deal of history, specifically Roman history, and a bit of astrophysics. Check out M.R.
