and transmitting from the mountains of West Virginia, it's time

On this episode of Let's find Out. Our guest is
8
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:39.039
an Atlanta based storyteller who blames the every day with
9
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.759
the eerie. This inspiration can come from the creeping tear
10
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.640
behind perfect picket fences to the dark history hidden in
11
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:49.920
old stone walls. He has been recently featured in Bold
12
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.280
Journey magazine. He's ready to terrify you with tales of
13
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:58.679
haunted dolls, haunted objects, and diabolical games. All this plus more,
14
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:03.039
Please welcome our new friend and first time guest, Award
15
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:07.359
winning author DC Phillips, DC, my friend, Welcome to Let's
16
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:07.879
find Out.
17
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:11.000
Thank you so much, Diego. I'm glad to be here
18
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:13.840
and I got chilled with that introduction. I feel like
19
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.200
I need that introduction more often, you know, just regular
20
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:18.760
phone calls during the week.
21
00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.359
No, that's confidence boost.
22
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:24.680
I'll be your hype man. What is that movie. Now
23
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:25.439
it comes to mind.
24
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:25.879
It was.
25
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.879
Back in the medieval times. It had Heath Ledger ad it.
26
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:34.680
Oh gosh, A Night's Tale? Was that?
27
00:01:34.719 --> 00:01:35.560
It a Night's Tale?
28
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:35.799
Yeah?
29
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:36.599
And that could be your hype.
30
00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:36.799
Man.
31
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.840
I like it. I approve this is good. Already got
32
00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:41.920
something good in the works here.
33
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:44.719
Oh perfect. We'll talk offline about it, man, I think
34
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:47.079
I got a new part time job. Now. Now I
35
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:50.560
first met you, I'll say not long ago, but we
36
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:53.079
were just talking about offline about three months ago, almost
37
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.120
four months ago at Fright Reads in Maryland. What a
38
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:00.079
great event that was. Harry put on something spectacular. I
39
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:01.959
didn't know it was going to be this big, and
40
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.400
I went to your table one of the first people
41
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:06.840
I talked to you. You were so nice to me. We
42
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:11.400
had a great conversation and I was originally going to
43
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:15.520
have you on Bonus over Drive Wednesday, because normally I
44
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:19.280
save Bonus over Drive for different subjects. But as we
45
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:22.319
got talked and you're like, well, you know, I do
46
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.879
have experience of paranormal and investigations and experiences, I said, great,
47
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.280
let's put you on less find out. We're going to
48
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.000
get into that very shortly as well as well we'll
49
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:38.280
we're talking about, well, the newest book, the compilation is
50
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:40.039
came out no longer hot off the press.
51
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:42.280
Yes, oh yeah, still warm at least.
52
00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:47.919
Yes, And I love the cover because it reminded me
53
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.199
of you know, we'll talk about that later. I'm gonna
54
00:02:50.199 --> 00:02:53.759
get lost in the sauce here, EFFI Jesus alimentation. What
55
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.759
we got tons to talk about. But first off, we
56
00:02:55.759 --> 00:03:03.159
don't want to congratulate you because you're recently Best Indie
57
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.759
Book Award winner for The Flair Man. Congratulations on that.
58
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:10.560
Yeah, thank you. Yeah, that was a really nice surprise.
59
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:15.280
You know, I had basically submitted the Flair months and
60
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.840
months ago, and they go through their process to select
61
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.520
winners in each category, and so the Flair won for
62
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:27.120
the novella category, and it was exciting on multiple levels.
63
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:31.240
I feel like novellas and short stories people are kind
64
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.240
of rediscovering. I think we moved away from that format for.
65
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:36.639
A while, but I love it.
66
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:40.520
I love short, punchy fiction with nice twists, and it's
67
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.319
very much eighty Slasher inspired. There's lots of dark humor,
68
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:48.159
and it felt really nice, especially as an indie author,
69
00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:51.479
to be recognized that way. So I'm excited for the
70
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:53.439
you know, my plaque to come in the mail and
71
00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:54.879
make it really official.
72
00:03:57.199 --> 00:03:59.240
Well, how did you find out that you won? Did
73
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:01.280
they say send you an email first or they just
74
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:02.919
put it out there on socials and say, hey, man,
75
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:03.400
you got it.
76
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:07.680
They did send an email first, which I was happy
77
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.919
about because I know with some of the awards online
78
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:15.879
circulating around, you do sometimes find out, hey, here's the
79
00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:19.160
list of finalists. It's almost like in high school. I
80
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:21.519
was in theater, and you almost feel like a theater
81
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:25.079
kid going up to the bulletin board after school, like, oh, gosh,
82
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.759
did we make it? You know, in real time? And
83
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:29.319
so it was nice to get a little bit of
84
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.519
a heads up. They were super professional and asked for
85
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.839
marketing materials and that sort of thing, and so yeah,
86
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:39.839
I had a little heads up and had to sit
87
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.639
on it for a week or two. But it's nice
88
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.360
to be able to talk about it now and share
89
00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:45.120
that news.
90
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:45.879
Yeah.
91
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:47.839
I saw that pop on on the Facebook, feeling, oh,
92
00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.319
we're definitely going to talk about that. Well they and
93
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.720
then you brought something up, Yes, we're talking about theater
94
00:04:55.120 --> 00:04:58.920
now that you're an award winning author. Let's go back
95
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.560
in time a little bit. Let's take Brian Paone's DeLorean.
96
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:03.839
We want to go back in time a little bit.
97
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:07.759
What was like for DC Phillips prior to become an author.
98
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:10.399
Was this always your journey or were you doing something
99
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:11.639
completely different at that time.
100
00:05:13.040 --> 00:05:13.279
Yeah.
101
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:17.279
You know, it's funny because I think a lot of writers,
102
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.439
or a lot of people who are creative in any way,
103
00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:23.639
can relate to this. But even in school, I would
104
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.160
write stories and draw pictures to go along with those stories,
105
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:30.160
and I think I even probably scared a few teachers
106
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.680
with some of the stories that I submitted for creative
107
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:34.560
writing projects.
108
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:36.120
They're like, oh, this is morbid.
109
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:39.000
But by the time I got to high school, you know,
110
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.639
that started to evolve a little bit. And I even
111
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:47.759
recently recovered an external hard drive that I thought was
112
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:51.160
lost forever. And I even found a movie that I
113
00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:55.199
made with some friends about this sort of slasher story
114
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.560
that I wrote in high school. So it's kind of
115
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:01.199
funny to see that come full circle. There were even
116
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:04.040
manuscripts that I had written all the way back then
117
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:08.480
that I've uncovered and reread. You know, sometimes you think
118
00:06:08.519 --> 00:06:12.079
I was young, that's probably garbage, toss it out, But
119
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:15.879
you reread it and you're like, Okay, the writing could
120
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.519
use some polishing, but I like the idea here. So
121
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.959
there are definitely some ideas that I've either salvaged or
122
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.959
that I've cleaned up and been able to put out
123
00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:28.680
there in collections and anthologies. So that's a really nice
124
00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.879
feeling and one that I'm sure a lot of creatives
125
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:31.560
can relate to.
126
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:35.879
Yes, similar to our believe to musicians, well, they're getting
127
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:38.920
in a studio, will record some stuff and then either
128
00:06:38.920 --> 00:06:41.399
it gets lost into tapes or somewhere down the road
129
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.680
and say, oh, this is griff is really good, and
130
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.040
then you never know a great song can come out
131
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:49.319
of that. It's part of the creative process in a way.
132
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:54.199
So then from that point, I'm curious to see when
133
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.360
in your life did you get involved with a pair
134
00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.360
of normal because it's I'm not saying this seems to
135
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.600
be a shift, but how did that start and are
136
00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:06.240
you still kind of involved with that today?
137
00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:10.600
Yes, and yes, I would say that for a lot
138
00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:14.160
of people who are into horror, dark and creepy things,
139
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:18.160
horror authors, I think a lot of us have real
140
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.920
life experiences at a young age that sort of plant
141
00:07:21.959 --> 00:07:22.560
that seed.
142
00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:24.600
And really push that interest.
143
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:25.000
You know.
144
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.040
It's funny because since we met at Fright Reid's, I've
145
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.879
kept up with your podcasts, and I believe one of
146
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:37.399
your recent guests even went into their experiences with shadow people.
147
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:42.319
And that's something that I don't even like saying out loud,
148
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:44.959
because they say, there's a what is the saying that
149
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:48.399
when you peer into the void, things that are their
150
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:50.319
peer back, you know, the more you want to know
151
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:55.560
about those entities and those those things in another realm
152
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.319
or whatever, they want to know more about you. So
153
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.399
it's not something that I talk about every day. Uh,
154
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:05.399
but yeah, at a young age, I remember having experiences
155
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:09.319
with shadow people. There's always kind of that archetype of
156
00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.879
a shadowy figure in a broad brimmed black hat. And
157
00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:17.240
so you know, now with with I kind of grew up.
158
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:18.920
On that line.
159
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:23.000
I'm a millennial and I grew up pre and post Internet,
160
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:27.959
and it's been really crazy to read on Reddit and
161
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:32.440
these other forums of people describing that exact same entity
162
00:08:32.960 --> 00:08:35.600
that you saw in dreams as a kid and that
163
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.480
sort of thing. So those experiences do definitely go way back,
164
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.039
and for me, it's they always kind of center around
165
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:48.919
that liminal space between waking and sleeping. But it was
166
00:08:49.039 --> 00:08:50.840
very real to me. I got to say that.
167
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.639
I believe we talk about hat Man, right, yes.
168
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.600
Yeah, and yeah you get a chill, right, you don't.
169
00:08:58.679 --> 00:08:59.519
It's kind of I don't know.
170
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:02.799
I don't even like same the name always, but I
171
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:04.159
saved it for your podcast.
172
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:06.279
So we're both talking about him.
173
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.799
Not to make light or be flippant, right, but hey,
174
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:12.159
if he visits one of us, he's gonna visit both
175
00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:15.720
of so at least there's numbers.
176
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:19.919
Yeah, you're not lying there. I think that back long
177
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.159
before you, when I was in high school, there was
178
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:26.399
a girl talking in class about very similar description of
179
00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:30.279
something she saw in her dreams as well. And back
180
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:34.679
then there's bullies everywhere. When they kind of hear a story,
181
00:09:34.679 --> 00:09:38.240
they start bullying. You're making fun of you. But if
182
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:40.600
you start mentioning Man to her, she would go nuts
183
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.519
because it was that terrifying to her.
184
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.039
Yeah, and you know, with the.
185
00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:51.639
Real prominence of the Internet and platforms where people can discuss,
186
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:55.559
I think that's probably why people gravitate toward your podcast,
187
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.759
because you know, you do feel like, wow, I'm not
188
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:02.559
the only one. I'm not crazy, you know, people don't
189
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:06.720
think I'm a total lunatic because I am describing this experience.
190
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.200
So there's there's a real sense of community in that,
191
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:09.960
I think.
192
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:13.720
And you touched on something there, because one of the
193
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:16.759
reasons why this podcast began is because I wanted to
194
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:20.799
have a conversation with like minded people who've had the
195
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.360
similar experiences in order to help me figure things out
196
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:27.200
in questions that I have about the subject, not only
197
00:10:27.240 --> 00:10:31.919
with paranormal UFOs and cryptozoology and beyond. Because when you
198
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:34.799
have all these kind of experiences in your life, it's
199
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.840
always nice to have a community, whether large or small,
200
00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.000
that can relate to what you're doing and have a
201
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:41.080
conversation about it.
202
00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:47.440
Yeah, now, how much of this well hold on?
203
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.080
Because you said also we're talking about fright reasons that
204
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:52.840
you've also done some investigations. What locations have you gone to?
205
00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:58.000
Yeah, most of mine have been fairly amateur, I would say,
206
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:03.799
but I've definitely have some some experiences that have told
207
00:11:03.840 --> 00:11:10.080
me there is something beyond right. I think probably the
208
00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:13.320
one that had the biggest impact where it was a
209
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:18.639
true investigation, uh, was actually something I found on Groupon.
210
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:20.559
And you can.
211
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:23.960
Pretty much guarantee experiences that you find in groupon are
212
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.080
either going to be some of the worst or best
213
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.120
of your life, right, there's no real in between. And
214
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:35.000
so this was in Tennessee outside of Chattanooga, and probably
215
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.639
about ten years ago because the memories popped up on Facebook,
216
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:42.960
not that long ago. But it's a place called Hale's
217
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:46.840
Bar Dam. And forgive me, you know, if I don't
218
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.639
get the history one hundred percent correct. I am a
219
00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.120
fiction author, so I you know, I take things and
220
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:55.960
run with it. But of the actual historical facts of
221
00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:00.440
behind the location. But this was a dam that was
222
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.960
not active for very long. It was built in the
223
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:09.000
early nineteen hundreds. There were tons of accidents, flooding. There
224
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.000
was even, allegedly, according to legend, a group of school
225
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.600
children who would use one of the tunnels to cut
226
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:21.879
through from a little neighborhood to school every day and
227
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.720
there was a flash flood and all of those kids
228
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:29.240
were carried away one day and never located. And so
229
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:31.879
there's there's a ton of history. I think it's been
230
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.759
on one of the ghost hunting shows, and so they
231
00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:41.159
say that it centered around a whirlpool that had you know,
232
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:44.519
I believe it was a Cherokee name that essentially meant
233
00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:48.000
place of death or something along those lines, and so
234
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:51.519
you can imagine it's already steeped in history. There's so
235
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:57.759
much lore surrounding it. And there were probably three spots
236
00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:03.000
inside that dam at really were mind blowing to me.
237
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:08.039
The first one, there's an area where people leave toys
238
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:12.200
for they say one of the children who was swept away.
239
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.720
And you know, you sit in the dark, you're all
240
00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.279
gathered around in a circle. You can't even see the
241
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.720
people around you, you can't see your hand in front
242
00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:27.039
of your face, but you can hear footsteps.
243
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:29.759
After everything goes pitch.
244
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:32.879
Black, the flashlights are out, you don't have to wait
245
00:13:32.919 --> 00:13:36.919
that long, and you hear this echoing coming up the
246
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.639
hall and it's one of those things where obviously skeptics
247
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:43.320
can always explain away, oh they must have had a
248
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.679
sound system, Oh there must have been somebody else down
249
00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:50.600
the hallway, But when you're in it, and you know,
250
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.320
you know, I was just in that hallway, there's nowhere
251
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:54.879
for a third party to hide.
252
00:13:55.679 --> 00:14:00.080
There isn't that echoe year or scratching of a sound system. It.
253
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:04.080
It was very real in that moment, and yeah, I
254
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.559
did not sleep for two days after that.
255
00:14:08.080 --> 00:14:09.240
Well, I can imagine.
256
00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:15.240
Totally transparent here from there it actually got even I
257
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:17.679
will say, creepy. I don't know there's a for anyone
258
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:22.480
who's experienced real paranormal activity. I think it's not always
259
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:30.919
necessarily the scare factor. There's also a sadness or a
260
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:36.200
sorrow to it, because according Shin, they would add, there
261
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:40.360
were two men who actually fell in while that concrete
262
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:44.399
was being poured and at that time, and it was
263
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:48.679
it was one of the most impactful paranormal moments I've experienced.
264
00:14:49.919 --> 00:14:53.919
Terrifying to say the least. Now, with that experience that
265
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:56.320
you've had and then others after that, how much of
266
00:14:56.440 --> 00:14:59.440
that influenced your writing.
267
00:15:02.039 --> 00:15:02.919
A lot?
268
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:07.159
You know, every time I'm at an event like Affright
269
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:10.720
Reads on my table, I have one title in particular
270
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:13.879
that we, as members of the Atlanta chapter of the
271
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.840
Horror Writers Association, put together, and it's called Georgia Gothic, And.
272
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:21.480
So people will ask, are these true stories?
273
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:27.639
And my answer is always, well, it's legend, it's folklore.
274
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:31.879
It came from somewhere, right, and so you know, sort
275
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:34.840
of a yes and no to that. To that question,
276
00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:39.240
I would say, there are definitely places that I'll pull from.
277
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:44.120
There are occurrences, you know, dreams that I've had that
278
00:15:44.200 --> 00:15:47.679
I'll take and I'll run with. And so I would say,
279
00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:51.000
whether it's comes from a history book or a subconscious
280
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:56.039
these events and in these places and these entities, happenings,
281
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:59.200
things and counters, whatever you want to call it, definitely
282
00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:03.279
form the found for pretty much everything I write.
283
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:07.799
Excellent, it seems to be the formula. Seems to be
284
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:10.879
working for you, my friend. So we're going to fast
285
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:15.720
forward now to Effigy's and incantation. I was talking to
286
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.639
you at the table because the cover, it's already creepy
287
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:24.039
enough of ventriloquis dummy. They're one of those things that
288
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.320
for me, I'm gonna say they terrify me, but it
289
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:32.759
already puts me in that element of creepy. And I
290
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:35.919
was sharing a story with you, not about because I've
291
00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:38.120
had experience. I've never held one, I've seen one. I
292
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.600
won't touch them like some people have things for clowns.
293
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:45.679
These ventriloquist dummy, especially old style looking ones, super creepy. Brother,
294
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.639
there was a I don't know what decade in nineteen
295
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:52.960
hundreds I'm gonna shoot for during the big radio time
296
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:57.240
before there was TV. There was a very famous person
297
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:01.480
back then that had a ventriloquist act. But here's the
298
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:03.639
best part. But he did it on the radio.
299
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:06.400
Huh.
300
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:10.119
Back then, this this person was super famous worldwide for
301
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:13.079
having an act, and back then there was no TV,
302
00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:15.279
so you have to use your imagination. I'm saying, did
303
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:17.000
he really need the dummy who could just fake the
304
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:21.960
whole thing? But his daughter was actually a very famous
305
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:27.759
actress in the eighties, so she couldn't fake that because
306
00:17:27.759 --> 00:17:29.960
she actually had to do the work on the camera.
307
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:33.279
That's a tangent. We'll talk about this another day. But
308
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:35.960
with the cover, it is a collection of stories from
309
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:36.720
different authors.
310
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:39.119
Correct, yes, yeah.
311
00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:42.279
And you know what's really great is, like you said,
312
00:17:42.319 --> 00:17:45.920
the vent trillock was dummies doll just like clowns. There's
313
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:51.519
such a classic trope and a classic theme. So working
314
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:55.319
with the cover artist, Lynn Hansen, super talented, you know,
315
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:59.079
she came up with something, had something ready actually that
316
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:02.599
fit perfectly along with the stories that were included. And
317
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:06.559
it's interesting because it's one of those things, like you said,
318
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:10.839
at different events, people walk by my table and that
319
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:15.680
don't catches their eyes because it's so classic and so
320
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:20.920
the stories in the collection and the anthology are from
321
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.519
different authors. I have two in there myself, and it's
322
00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:27.279
a lot of fun because yes, we have the classic
323
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:31.200
tropes of haunted dolls, but there are also twists. We
324
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:36.799
take it into cosmic territory, we take it into domestic horror,
325
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:40.039
and you know what might be lurking around your own home.
326
00:18:40.720 --> 00:18:45.160
There's some supernatural and so I think it's nice because
327
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.680
it really is a mixed bag of a lot of
328
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.839
horror tropes and even subgenres that we all love, those
329
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:54.519
of us who love scary things.
330
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.839
And that we do. My friend, so who's featured in
331
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:02.079
the book with authors? Did you choose having there?
332
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:04.920
Oh, we've got a nice roster.
333
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:09.559
So we've got William Sterling, We've got Don Major.
334
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.640
A lot of people are active in the.
335
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:18.000
Horror Writers Association, so if others are fall HWA or
336
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:18.720
are part.
337
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:20.880
Of it, they'll recognize some names.
338
00:19:21.359 --> 00:19:27.279
We've also got Laura McMurray, Keim Penzen, and just a
339
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:31.079
ton of really great talented people who we have people
340
00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:35.079
who are more seasoned and have more work out there
341
00:19:35.279 --> 00:19:37.559
in the open. And we have a couple of people
342
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:40.319
who just were publishing a couple of pieces for the
343
00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:43.079
first time, and so that was exciting too to be
344
00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:47.960
able to work with them. We've also got co Davidson.
345
00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:50.839
You know, I can go on and on. There are
346
00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:54.720
seventeen of us, so it's a nice, nice roster.
347
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.920
And did you choose them all the yourself or is
348
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:02.400
it one of them? Is say, hey, man, would you
349
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:05.440
mind checking this work out? And out of all the
350
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:08.279
horror stories, which ones? What kind were you looking forward
351
00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:11.359
to including there? Are there any specific themes or you
352
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:12.599
just went with what they sent you.
353
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:19.000
Yeah, that's a great question.
354
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:23.799
So it started out because William Sterling and I started
355
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:28.160
comparing notes and we each had doll stories that we
356
00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:31.559
had just laying around, essentially, and we weren't sure what
357
00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:34.000
to do with them. I started talking to a couple
358
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:36.279
of other people and they said the same thing, since
359
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:40.480
it is so classic, and so I put out on
360
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:44.240
Instagram a feeler, a call for submissions, and I was
361
00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:47.839
really surprised by what came back. I basically put out
362
00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:53.680
the call asking for stories about haunted dolls, cursed objects,
363
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:58.400
diabolical games, and so the stories that came back to me.
364
00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:03.359
We even have the story about a cursed mixtape, We've
365
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.000
got one about that's an urban legend about a game
366
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:11.440
that's played in a small southern town by Can Wiggs's
367
00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:12.400
one of my favorites.
368
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:13.359
Probably, I would have.
369
00:21:13.359 --> 00:21:17.119
To say we got some of the more typical Killer
370
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:20.319
Doll stories that are just a lot of fun by
371
00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:24.480
Mark Munroe. And I received some submissions by people I
372
00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:27.839
had never met, and so that was what was cool,
373
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:32.319
because this call for submissions, because it went online, went
374
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:35.960
to the far corners of the earth, right, and so
375
00:21:36.240 --> 00:21:39.359
that was really cool to see stories come in from
376
00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:42.279
people I didn't know, but now I've gotten to know
377
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:45.799
and I've been introduced to, and it was really exciting
378
00:21:45.839 --> 00:21:49.160
to be able to work with them. And sometimes when
379
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:52.240
you do have a specific theme at the editor, you
380
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.480
know you're giving guidance and feedback on how we can
381
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:58.599
shape this story to fit the theme a bit more closely,
382
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:03.200
or if we have multiple porcelain dolls, hey could you
383
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:05.960
do this in your story to kind of set years
384
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:08.160
apart and to distinguish it.
385
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:10.960
And so that was that was really cool to be able.
386
00:22:10.839 --> 00:22:14.400
To make sure that all of these stories mesh and
387
00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:16.440
they flow one from the new.
388
00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:20.880
And each giving us something new.
389
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:26.000
And so tell you how many stories are there in
390
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:27.160
the book currently.
391
00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:34.759
Eight Yeah, so eight seventeen distinct authors and eighteen stories.
392
00:22:35.200 --> 00:22:36.519
So it's a nice, nice mix.
393
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:40.039
Especially when I'm meeting people at events and they ask
394
00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:43.480
what would you recommend or I'm not a big reader,
395
00:22:43.920 --> 00:22:46.519
you know, I tell them short stories are a great
396
00:22:46.559 --> 00:22:50.599
way to get back into reading for people who maybe
397
00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:53.039
you're taking a break or feel like they don't have
398
00:22:53.079 --> 00:22:56.640
the attention span to commit to a five hundred page
399
00:22:56.640 --> 00:22:57.960
epic novel, you know.
400
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:01.519
And I feel like something to that because I've been
401
00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:04.559
noticing more and more a lot of compilations and more
402
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:07.240
short stories being published, and you know, I kind of
403
00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:13.200
like those those stories. And sometimes these short stories it's
404
00:23:13.240 --> 00:23:15.759
a challenge because you really got to tell every bit
405
00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:20.720
of that story. It's such a short amount of pages.
406
00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:25.559
I can imagine me kind of stressful to do something
407
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:25.920
like that.
408
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:31.400
Yeah, you know, sometimes with shorter fiction, you really have
409
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:35.160
to streamline it, you really have to pare it down.
410
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:40.640
There's a big boom of flash fiction, and I've tried
411
00:23:40.680 --> 00:23:44.240
my hand at that where it's like a sometimes it's
412
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:47.799
maybe a thousand word limit, but that can be a
413
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:50.240
real challenge, and as a writer, it's a lot of
414
00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:53.519
fun because you have to be very intentional with your words.
415
00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:57.319
You don't have a ton a ton of extra room
416
00:23:57.400 --> 00:23:59.480
to spare, so it can be a lot of fun.
417
00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:06.079
And so what's been the feedback so far for Effigy Incantations.
418
00:24:07.440 --> 00:24:09.720
I am really excited to share that.
419
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:13.559
I also just found out it made the twenty twenty
420
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:18.319
five list of recommended works for the Horror Writers Association,
421
00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:23.480
and that's something that people actually go in. Members of
422
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:27.720
the HWA go in and they can nominate, So that
423
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:31.559
means that people connected with it, you know, even people
424
00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:36.799
who were not featured or didn't have stories submitted to it.
425
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:40.599
So that's really exciting to see that coming together. And
426
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:44.440
we'll see there's voting that should happen early next year
427
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:48.240
to see what makes the actual ballot for what we
428
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:49.799
call the Stoker Awards.
429
00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:54.400
They're like the top prize, the Grammy or the Emmy
430
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:56.400
or you know of horror writing.
431
00:24:56.960 --> 00:25:00.359
And so so far the reception has been really great,
432
00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:04.519
and that's exciting to put something out into the world
433
00:25:05.200 --> 00:25:08.880
and you don't know what those Good Read reviews are
434
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:11.200
going to look like, or those Amazon reviews are going
435
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:14.599
to look like until they start coming in and again,
436
00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:19.200
you know, total strangers are putting their reviews online and
437
00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:22.440
saying that they really are connecting with the material and
438
00:25:22.559 --> 00:25:23.039
enjoying it.
439
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:25.480
So's there's nothing like that feeling.
440
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:29.880
We're full of excellent news today. So we're gonna hop
441
00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:32.920
on the excellent news topic here with the your war
442
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:34.559
for the Flair. Let's talk about the flair? What is
443
00:25:34.559 --> 00:25:34.960
that about?
444
00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:40.039
Oh yeah, so the flair again. When people come by
445
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:43.039
my table and they ask what is my favorite work
446
00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:46.200
or what do I recommend? H This was really my
447
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:51.680
first time trying my hand at longer form fiction. It
448
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:55.079
is still a novella, so it's a quick roller coaster
449
00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:59.000
of a ride. But people have compared it to an
450
00:25:59.119 --> 00:26:03.279
urban ledge and I was really inspired by eighties movies
451
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:06.720
like Fright Night when I wrote it, because there's a
452
00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:10.039
lot of heart to the characters. One reader even referred
453
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:14.319
to it as cozy interview, which when you know there's
454
00:26:14.319 --> 00:26:17.559
blood and guts and gore. That was a real compliment
455
00:26:17.640 --> 00:26:22.000
to me that people see the characters as relatable and approachable.
456
00:26:23.440 --> 00:26:26.319
But it's funny, you know, we're tying this back to
457
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:32.559
real events or real places, and in the flare there
458
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:36.759
is an urban legend in the small southern town that
459
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:42.720
basically says there's a serial killer, potentially of supernatural origins,
460
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:48.000
living in an old, abandoned mill. And for me, there
461
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:51.079
are a few places and stories that I picked up
462
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:55.480
throughout my childhood and my youth that I used for inspiration,
463
00:26:56.519 --> 00:27:00.319
one of them being the It's actually a venue or
464
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:05.039
was a music venue in Atlanta called the Masquerade, and
465
00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:08.720
it was actually the first night club I ever went
466
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:13.200
to at eighteen years old, and it was It's The
467
00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:17.799
venue was in this old mill called the Excelsior the
468
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:21.079
excuse me, the do pre Excelsior Mill. So it's this
469
00:27:21.400 --> 00:27:26.039
old building, creaky floors with three levels, and I mean,
470
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:28.880
there could be three different shows going on at the
471
00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:32.359
same time, but it you know, the floors would creak
472
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:35.319
so much, and people were in the mash pits you
473
00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:38.319
really were afraid you might fall through. But the floors
474
00:27:38.400 --> 00:27:42.559
were called Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven, which already gives it
475
00:27:42.680 --> 00:27:48.240
kind of a gothic feel. And there were rumors, because
476
00:27:48.279 --> 00:27:50.519
they did have these goth nights and these sort of
477
00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:56.559
dark industrial nights, that there were real vampires that frequented
478
00:27:56.559 --> 00:27:59.759
this place. And I know, you know, people may scoff,
479
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:02.440
I think it sounds silly, but it was a very
480
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:06.400
real thing that people said that there was one vampire
481
00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:10.319
in particular who lived in the attic space and in
482
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:12.960
the shadows, and you know, if you went to one
483
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:15.359
of these goth nights, you had to be careful and
484
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:18.440
watch your back. So that was a lot of fun.
485
00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:21.480
And again it's one of those places that I use.
486
00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:25.440
My fiction is very grounded in these real places that
487
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:26.519
do exist.
488
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:31.640
Man, can you imagined how much energy you have to
489
00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:34.839
play in order to conjure up these spirits are vampires
490
00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:37.200
to come chick out a show, that's.
491
00:28:36.960 --> 00:28:39.039
What I'm saying, and to live there, you know, those
492
00:28:39.079 --> 00:28:41.119
must have been some talented acts.
493
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:43.160
To really put up with at twenty first seven.
494
00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:46.400
But yeah, if people google it, it's the Masquerade, And
495
00:28:47.359 --> 00:28:49.599
actually I looked it up for some reason not that
496
00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:55.079
long ago, and it's a really creepy place because there's
497
00:28:55.160 --> 00:29:00.240
no real definition or define time that it. It just
498
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:03.599
sort of kind of started popping up in news articles
499
00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:07.240
in Atlanta in the eighteen nineties and the first mention
500
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:10.680
of it, the first reference was to the death of
501
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:16.039
an employee there. So it's a very mysterious. Uh, it's
502
00:29:16.039 --> 00:29:19.359
an Atlanta staple. I would say, it's it's moved on
503
00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:23.839
to a new location. But everybody knows the masquerade in
504
00:29:24.319 --> 00:29:25.799
dark and spooky circles.
505
00:29:25.839 --> 00:29:29.680
I would say, I'll tell you what. There are many
506
00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:31.759
people out there that have probably gone to this location
507
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:34.880
and have stories. I would love for them to either
508
00:29:34.920 --> 00:29:37.000
get a hold of you or be and just start
509
00:29:37.119 --> 00:29:39.400
talking about it, so I know your stories, because I'm
510
00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:42.680
curious to know did they see these vampires, what acts
511
00:29:42.720 --> 00:29:44.720
played there, what kind of experiences did you have? And
512
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:47.319
because you're talking about three layers, that's a lot of energy.
513
00:29:48.400 --> 00:29:49.720
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
514
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:52.960
But no, I'm thinking maybe I have to do a
515
00:29:52.960 --> 00:29:54.200
little bit of road trip. I think you and I
516
00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:57.480
will go. We'll hang out and see what conjures up
517
00:29:57.559 --> 00:30:01.000
my friend. And now I know that. I mean, twenty
518
00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:03.720
twenty five has already ended, and where we are in December.
519
00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:06.759
What's coming up with you for twenty twenty six.
520
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:13.319
I'm so glad you asked. I've got some projects in
521
00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:17.240
the works. One that I'm really excited about. I'm actually
522
00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:22.200
co authoring a young adult thriller with a friend, Vanessa Red.
523
00:30:22.400 --> 00:30:27.200
She's also featured in effigies and incantations. Extremely talented and
524
00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:30.960
I feel like our styles mesh really well. We're referring
525
00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:33.759
to this new project as sort of I Know what
526
00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:38.160
you did last summer meets frying tomatoes. So very Southern
527
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:46.279
Gothic inspired and again lots of history incorporated. There's it
528
00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:51.519
was a mental hospital in Atlanta, Central State, in Milledgeville, Georgia,
529
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:55.519
and it's long since operation, but some of the buildings
530
00:30:55.640 --> 00:30:59.759
do still stand. And that's one of the central focus
531
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:05.000
point points and central locations of our story. And so yeah,
532
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:09.319
we're going back in time. Her parts, she's focusing on
533
00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:13.440
the way past, and I'm focusing on thirty years later,
534
00:31:13.920 --> 00:31:15.400
which is still in the past. It's going to be
535
00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:19.519
in the nineties, probably of a grandmother and her granddaughter
536
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:24.000
and some of the secrets that they keep from each
537
00:31:24.039 --> 00:31:26.920
other and what they find out over the course of
538
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.559
a summer. So really excited about that one. It's in
539
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:31.279
the works.
540
00:31:31.920 --> 00:31:34.960
I would love to bring you back once that's released
541
00:31:35.079 --> 00:31:37.359
on the show, we'll talk about that. Here's a question
542
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:39.720
maybe you're not prepared to answer. Is that I got
543
00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:41.759
your question. I watch every once in a while, mix
544
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:44.119
it up. Now, I'm not too spicy of a question.
545
00:31:44.160 --> 00:31:46.960
Of course, if you were to put a soundtrack to
546
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:51.279
The Flare, who would you have on that?
547
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:56.960
Oh, that's a great question, and I think probably I
548
00:31:56.960 --> 00:32:01.400
mean dream big, right, I would say the Flair is
549
00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:06.759
very cinematic, it's very inspired by eighties slashers in particular.
550
00:32:06.920 --> 00:32:10.599
So we've got to get John Carpenter, right, who better?
551
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:12.200
That's somebody?
552
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:16.039
As I write, I actually will listen to the soundtrack
553
00:32:16.079 --> 00:32:20.640
of The Fog or the Lost Themes album, and so yeah,
554
00:32:20.720 --> 00:32:22.039
let's get John Carpenter on it.
555
00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:22.400
Why not?
556
00:32:24.200 --> 00:32:26.680
That's a winner for me. Anything John Carpenter.
557
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:31.839
Exactly can't go wrong with a slasher soundtrack With John
558
00:32:31.880 --> 00:32:33.599
Carpenter in the background.
559
00:32:34.359 --> 00:32:36.799
Truer words have never been spoken on this show, my friend. Now,
