Penny Moonz

Penny Moonz, author of the Creeperslandia series, joins Vince to discuss her latest novel, Pumpkin Man 2, a satirical horror-comedy that delves into dark themes through absurdity and humor. They explore the unique setting of Creeperslandia, the evolution of key characters like Betty, and the intricate balance of horror and comedy in her writing process. Penny shares insights into the creative challenges of comedic timing, self-publishing, and staying true to her voice as a writer. The conversation highlights the role of dark humor in storytelling, the complexities of trigger warnings, and the importance of escapism. She also reflects on her inspirations, including film directors, and the impact of the COVID pandemic on her writing, particularly in works like Slasher Witch at the Waterpark. Beyond her books, Penny introduces her podcast—a comedic twist on paranormal call-in shows—and discusses her newsletter, Mix Tape Magazine, as well as the creative process behind her book covers. Her dark humor, shaped by her upbringing, shines throughout as she offers recommendations for readers and glimpses into her life outside of writing.
