A Chat with John Langan about Corpsemouth and Other Autobiographies
A Chat with John Langan about Corpsemouth and Other Autobiographies
As author of Bram Stoker Award winner The Fisherman, as well as the recently released (Oct. 17th through Canelo Horror) Corpsemouth And Other Autobiographies, John Langan has cemented his position among the finest working authors today. That is to say, I was frankly terrified to sit down and talk to him. Yet, as a newer author myself, I couldn’t down the opportunity to pick the brain of someone I greatly admire. Among the overload of anxiety, I managed to conjure up some questions and a boatload of courage to sit down with him and have a fantastic conversation about cosmic horror, creating your own mythos, love, and monsters. He also gives some great book recommendations and tips for people starting out their journey writing, so, yes, I’m biased, but this is well worth the listen for readers and writers alike. Check it out after the jump!
