Zombie Jo3 ,

I hope this show comes back some day

This show was amazing. T.J. Lea and his crew did an amazing job of telling interesting stories about horror writers, their works, and their histories. Even if you thought you knew everything about a certain writer, some how T.J. would find info you probably didn’t know. I’m not sure what happened with the podcast with its lack of updates (I’ll be totally honest as I keep forgetting to look into it), but if you haven’t listened to it before, it’s well worth listening to. I’ll be keeping an eye out to see if the show comes back. If it does, I’ll be resubscribing.

I yearn for every other Wednesday!

I love this podcast. It’s hits every chord. My only wish is that it was weekly instead of biweekly but I will take whatever TJ wants to give!

What I’ve been waiting for!

Classic horror is my favorite genre and now there’s a podcast all about my favorite writers and maybe a few I have yet to meet. I love the first episode and am excited for the rest!🖤
