Talking In “The Dark”

Catch up with me and guest host, Gordon B. White (As Summer’s Mask Slips and Other Disruptions), for the latest episode of The Outer Dark (095), presented by This Is Horror. This installment is followed by a “bonus” archive episode from 2015, my original conversation with Scott Nicolay, “Clint Smith: A Care for Dark Cookery.”

In my mind, the hour-long discussion with Gordon simply screamed by, but I was able to touch on several substantive points and extend some major props to several extraordinary supportive colleagues. And a massive note of gratitude to Gordon B. White, The Outer Darks Anya Martin and Scott Nicolay, as well as the influential platform of This Is Horror for providing a such a venerable venue, to discuss (among other topics) my latest collection, The Skeleton Melodies (Hippocampus Press).

Ginger Nuts of Horror Review of THE SKELETON MELODIES

Ginger Nuts of Horror contributor Daisy Lyle provides a thorough assessment of The Skeleton Melodies. Clearly, Daisy has invested a lot of time analyzing this collection of stories, and I’m supremely grateful for this thoughtful examination.

The overall impression left by [The] Skeleton Melodies is of an author who is definitely going places. Some of his prose could do with a bit of pruning, but it’s a polished collection covering a wide variety of fears ancient and modern, and I will be watching Smith’s development as a writer with interest.” Daisy Lyle
