Join author S.P. Miskowski for a discussion covering her enigmatic first collection Red Poppies; the transition from playwriting to writing fiction; the challenges of engaging the reader with characters who are unlikable, unreliable, unraveling, and/or descending into madness; the little lies that make a story true; the Southern Gothic tradition in the Pacific Northwest; the evolution of Knock, Knock into the Skillute Cycle ; keeping a story interesting while keeping it claustrophobic; good mothers, destructive mothers, and the dark secrets of motherhood;  her love for the small press; her forthcoming projects; and her picks for writers you should read next.

This archival episode will be available again at This Is Horror soon. In the meantime, subscribe at iTunes  or Blubrry to make sure you don’t miss an episode.
