Hold onto your headphones, folks! This episode is a spine-chilling rollercoaster of laughs and gasps as we hang out with Dr. Stuart Knott, a PhD graduate and horror author hailing from the UK. From being terrified of horror movies as a kid to becoming a celebrated horror writer, Dr. Knott's journey is nothing short of wild. We chat about his literary influences, including the king of horror himself, Stephen King, and the cosmic dread of HP Lovecraft. We also delve into the eerie worlds crafted by cinematic legends like David Cronenberg and John Carpenter. Dr. Knott spills the beans on how he masterfully balances dark humor with horror and the unique challenges of adapting horror across different mediums. Plus, he shares some golden nuggets of advice for aspiring writers and gives us an exclusive sneak peek into his upcoming projects. Trust us, you don't want to miss this one!
