Horror Greats for Halloween

October 29, 2026 · 39 min

Show notes

Charlie challenged Kate to get him to consider horror literature. And she did just that. We assembled Stephen Graham Jones, Jennifer McMahon and Victor LaValle to talk about why horror speaks to them and how they write it so well. It’s an extended and deeper conversation of what aired on GMA a week ago, and we just love this conversation. Join us if you dare!
