In this special epsiode, we have a conversation with Cynthia Pelayo, author of the recently released novel Vanishing Daughters.
Cynthia Pelayo is the Bram Stoker Award–winning author of Forgotten Sisters, Children of Chicago, and The Shoemaker’s Magician. In addition to writing genre-blending novels that incorporate fairy-tale, mystery, detective, crime, and horror elements, Pelayo has written numerous short stories, including the collection Lotería, and the poetry collection Crime Scene. The recipient of the 2021 International Latino Book Award, she holds a master of fine arts in writing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She lives in Chicago with her family. For more information, visit www.cinapelayo.com.
Vanishing Daughters is a breathtaking novel of psychological suspense about a haunted woman who is stalked by a serial killer and confronts the horrors of fairy tales and the nightmares of real life . It started the night journalist Briar Thorne’s mother died in their rambling old mansion on Chicago’s South Side. The nightmares of a woman in white pleading to come home, music switched on in locked rooms, and the panicked fear of being swallowed by the dark . . . Bri has almost convinced herself that these stirrings of dread are simply manifestations of grief and not the beyond-world of ghostly impossibilities her mother believed in. And more tangible terrors still lurk outside the decaying Victorian greystone. A serial killer has claimed the lives of fifty-one women in the Chicago area. When Bri starts researching the murders, she meets a stranger who tells her there’s more to her sleepless nights than bad dreams—they hold the key to putting ghosts to rest and stopping a killer. But the killer has caught on and is closing in, and if Bri doesn’t answer the call of the dead soon, she’ll be walking among them.

When we put it to a vote, you overwhelmingly chose Kaiju for our summer series, so we present our first Summer of Kaiju episode. Since it's our first episode, we go straight to the source and watch the original 1954 version of Godzilla.

Lynnette Tarkington is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre twenty-two years ago, and it has defined every day of her life since. And she’s not alone. For more than a decade she’s been meeting with five other actual final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, putting their lives back together, piece by piece. That is until one of the women misses a meeting and Lynnette’s worst fears are realized—someone knows about the group and is determined to take their lives apart again, piece by piece.
But the thing about these final girls is that they have each other now, and no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.
For our second episode on The Final Girl, we discuss the changes that began in the 90s and continue on through today.

We thought this mini episode was too important to release as a Patreon exclusive, so we are releasing it to all our listeners.
As a horror podcast that mostly focuses on film and books, we have been debating how to address the current movement and protests to address systemic racism and violence against people of color. Our solution is to offer some recommendations of black horror writers. We recognize that this does not end the violence and racism, but giving a voice to people of color in all genres is hopefully one small step on a much longer path.
We also wish to say that all three of us stand with the Black Lives Matter movement in its fight for justice.
We continue with our exploration of disaster movies with The Towering Inferno
