Hey Horror Fans!This week, We are joined by Emily C. Hughes, author of Horror for Weenies! In our conversation Emily shares her journey into horror, from the childhood moments that scared her away to the realization a decade later that she was hooked on the genre.We dive into the unique challenges faced by "horror weenies"—those who fear the screams on screen but still want to join the conversation as horror becomes increasingly more popular than every before. Emily’s book bridges the gap, offering readers a friendly hand as they step into the void. While we were initially hesitant about the concept of enabling spoilers, Horror for Weenies won us over with its thoughtful approach and Why It Matters sections that explore the cultural and historical significance of each film.Whether you’re a seasoned horror lover or a curious newcomer, this episode (and Emily’s book) has something for everyone so...

Hey Horror Fans!This week on Mostly Horror, we welcome back the incredible CJ Leede, author of Maeve Fly and now American Rapture.In this conversation we dive deep into the timely themes of her latest work—a novel that explores the raw and terrifying consequences of political and social powers and pressures, especially as they impact women.The conversation couldn’t have come at a more potent moment, with Donald Trump's recent, stomach-churning victory in the 2024 election casting a shadow over rights and freedoms.We chat with CJ about everything from the dangers of groupthink to the ongoing battle for women’s bodily autonomy. Using a global, sex-crazed zombie virus outbreak as a metaphor, American Rapture tackles issues of consent, agency, and the dissection of toxic religious beliefs and systems. CJ’s knack for intertwining internal horror with searing social commentary makes her a master of the genre, and we can’t wait to dig into this latest work and more of what’s to come from her remarkable mind.Its a fun and important conversation you won't want to miss so...Come Hang Out!!!Follow Us on Social Media:Instagram & Threads: @mostlyhorrorpodTikTok & Twitter/X: @mostlyhorrorSteve: @stevenisaverage on all socialsSean: @hypocrite.ink on IG/TikTok, @hypocriteink on Twitter/XEnjoy this episode?
