“I’ve been working at home for 15 years now, but the moment someone told me I couldn’t leave, it screwed me up.”
Urban fantasy horror writer Richard Kadrey checks in from San Francisco. We talk about how self-isolation impacts his writing, the history of urban plagues, his stab at passing the time by learning to use Windows, Clive Barker as “comfort food” reading, why he doesn’t binge on TV series, risking his life for his favorite bourbon, the difference between folk horror and rural horror, and more. Give it a listen! And go read his latest book, The Grand Dark and listen to our recent full-length podcast about it!
“I resent the pandemic for not letting me laugh at Republicans.”
