ACERCA DE ESTE EPISODIO
In this episode of eMerge Unchained, host Aubrey Green sits down with writer and academic Michael Howarth for a wide-ranging conversation about research, storytelling, and the unexpected places horror shows up. From using AI in the classroom (to expose its flaws) to tracing the gothic thread running through American history and children’s media, Michael brings both curiosity and humor to the craft of writing.
Aubrey and Michael dig into the realities of research—why it takes time, but how it strengthens both critical texts and fiction. They explore why a flexible outline that can evolve along the way is better, the value of beta readers, and how to keep an audience on their toes by refusing to write the same old thing.
Along the way, they even make space for zombies and explore why horror can be more nurturing for children than we might think. Join Aubrey and Michael for a conversation that blends craft, curiosity, and a love of sabbaticals.
