darkfiction

Arthur Slade writes slightly dark middle grade and YA fiction. How dark? We ask him.

Episode 069 / Daniel Willcocks, author of dark fiction that spans the genres of horror, post-apocalyptic, and sci-fi, joins us this week to talk about how being authentic attracts your ideal reader. We also touch on how Daniel began his fiction writing career with short stories, why he’s moving away from the rapid release model, and his advice for new authors. Plus live math with authors, which is always entertaining! :)

This week on Bizzong! Mr. Frank deep dives in the extreme horror book, BILLY SILVER, with author Daniel J. Volpe. Daniel Volpe has been getting a lot of attention for Billy Silver and it is well deserved. After deep diving into the book, we also talk about other work Daniel has been writing and how he goes about his writing days.

Clean your tattoo needles and get ready for an all new, all depraved episode of Bizzong!

In this episode of the Books of Some Substance podcast, Nick chats with Alex Edkins of the Toronto punk band METZ on the day that their latest record, Atlas Vending, came out. Alex highlighted J.G. Ballard’s High-Rise as a favorite, so we talk through the psychological, inner-space prophecies of the book and relate it back to our current technology-saturated landscape.  Spoiler alert: we are all animals and the internet isn’t exactly helping.

METZ’s latest full-length, Atlas Vending, is available now via Sub Pop Records. Listening to it might just provide enough cathartic release to prevent you and your fellow trendsetting urban condo-owners from sliding back into a lawless, primitive existence and reveling in constant acts of hedonism and violence. No promises, though — results may vary.

Ink Heist is a podcast devoted to dark genre fiction, featuring hosts Rich Duncan, Shane Douglas Keene and Laurel Hightower.

This week on Bizzong! Mr. Frank is joined by the author of THE MUD BALLAD, Jo Quenell! Jo's new book is from Weirdpunk Books, known for their amazing anthologies.

Jo discusses the pressures and high points of being the vanguard stand alone novella from Weirdpunk. Also, we dig into the work that Jo has done previous to The Mud Ballad including work with Filthy Loot.

What kind of mischief can a hot-headed dwarf, a roguish thief, a mark-shot elven ranger, a ten year old vocal prodigy, an alcoholic priest, and a substance-addicted wizard get up to? Apparently a lot on this extended full-length Dungeons and Dragons tribute episode. Join our adventurers on a quest to find Chiron's staff within the dangerous Dark Harbinger that floats over the Adane Sea. Enjoy episode fifteen, Rictor's Gamble, of the Apocalypse Theater Podcast.

Beyond Ochre's story continues in Episode Nine, picking up where Episode Six's The Big Day left off. Thereza, Nadia, and Kayla are drawn into a dangerous web after they find themselves in what was once considered the greatest place on Earth.
