Episode Notes

This week on Mostly Horror, Sean and Steve welcome back horror master Clay McLeod Chapman for a fun, introspective and wide ranging conversation. Clay talks about bringing his unique brand of dread to Marvel Comics (including Spiderman, Venom and Carnage), the eerie origins of his graphic novel Seance in the Asylum, and the twisted delights of his brand new short story collection Acquired Tastes.

From cursed cravings, handsy carrots, haunted history and breast pumps, Clay has a way of making even the strangest ideas feel disturbingly human, and he joins us to dig into the art of the horror short story, why collections are underrated treasure troves, and how grief, obsession, and madness creep into his work.

If you love horror that is darkly funny, deeply unsettling, and endlessly imaginative, you will not want to miss this episode sooo...
