Eric LaRocca, Author of The Strange Thing We Become and Other Dark Tales
Eric and I talk about writing mentally ill characters with dignity and complexity, adapting Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke to film, and leaning in to uncomfortable stories. In the second half, we have a spoiler-filled discussion about their story "Please Leave or I'm Going to Hurt You" from The Strange Thing We Become and Other Dark Tales. I provide a warning in advance and the rest of the episode is spoiler free.
