In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Winter, a French Cajun author whose writing is deeply influenced by his rich cultural heritage and the vibrant history of South Louisiana. His historical fiction, Wake the Devil, is inspired by the notorious X-Men murders of 1918 in New Orleans.

Join us as Ryan shares his journey to finding his unique voice, transitioning from imitating literary giants to crafting his own compelling stories.

We delve into what sets horror apart, exploring how it uniquely exposes our deepest fears and vulnerabilities.

We'll also take a nostalgic trip back to the 80s, recounting the spine-chilling films by directors like Wes Craven and John Carpenter that haunted our childhoods and solidified our fascination with the genre.

Don't miss this episode, which will ignite your creativity and give you a deeper appreciation for the genre of horror fiction.
