Today We’re Visiting The Wild West With Michael Knost

I recently got into a western horror kick. Something about the Old West drew me. The history in and of itself is fascinating and easy to get lost in. But what’s really cool is all the what-ifs you can play with. For as much as is known about that time there is an equal (sometimes more) amount that isn’t known. That’s where authors like Michael Knost come in.

Michael Knost is known as an author, editor and columnist covering many genres including such works as Return of the Mothman, Spectres In Coal Dust and others. His latest novella, The Deadwood Deal, is appearing in Dark Tide book #18, Blood and Bullets, was released on October 25, 2024.

I was lucky enough to chat with Jamal Hodge and Tim Waggoner on their first collaboration “Bestiary of Blood.” Jamal talks about his this being his first book editing experience (with over 30 writers!) and his approach to his collection of modern fables. Tim discusses his short story “A Cold Midnight” and his thoughts on writing.

It was one of this conversations you just wanted to throw a question out there and see where it led. So fun to do, so interesting to just sit back and listen! I hope you enjoy it!

I’m not sure where I’ve been hiding that I have never read anything by Nuzo Onoh before but I am amazed at what I found! Her latest work, Where the Dead Brides Gather, is rich in African culture and families with secrets as well as a whole entourage of dead brides looking to get married. Told from the point of view of an 11 year old girl who becomes possessed it is a unique story with a mythology all it’s own. Bata is forced to grow up before she wants to so she can save living brides from the dead brides and keep her family together. The dead brides all died before they could be married. They wish to be married more than anything and will do anything to possess a living bride as she takes her vows.

I was lucky enough to be able to interview this horror icon about her new novel.
