Jamal Hodge and Tim Waggoner Sit Down To Talk Bestiary of Blood
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!

About Bestiary of Blood:
We are all prey to this anthology of modern fables and dark tales.
Bestiary of Blood was conceived in a moment of revelation, born from the visceral experience of watching nature’s savage ballet—lions tearing into flesh, hyenas gnawing bones, sharks thrashing in crimson waters. These raw spectacles gave rise to a chilling epiphany: life and death are entwined in a grotesque dance, each feeding the other in a ceaseless cycle of transformation, creating…beauty.
This paradox is captured in its full glory in Bestiary of Blood, a modern anthology of predation’s horrors inspired by the timeless tales of Aesop’s Fables, modernized for a more complex, unforgiving world. Exploring the joy in our hurts, the wrongs in our rights, and the suffering in the shadows of our light, Bestiary of Blood invites you to the intersection of human and animal experience, crafting dark tales that resonate with life’s endless cycles of transformation.
Written by 37 of Horror’s greatest writers, Including 18 Bram Stoker Award Winners, this anthology features diverse voices from every walk of life as they usher you through the darkest and most profound questions of the modern age.
