Mark Justice and David T Wilbanks http://www.horrorreader.com Mon, 25 Sep 2006 01:10:00 CST What scares you? Horror Reader is the only podcast channel devoted to horror fiction and the people who produce it. Launched in August of 2005, our channel offers two distinct shows. Pod of Horror, hosted by Mark Justice and David Wilbanks, combines news, reviews, and quick interviews with Mark and David's signature wit. Voices of Horror, hosted by Johnathon Williams, devotes each episode to an extensive interview with a single author. The combination, we think, offers something for everyone and presents both the humorous and serious sides of the genre. en-us ℗ & © 2005 Horror Reader & Family Johnathon Williams horrorreader@gmail.com no http://horrorreader.libsyn.com/rss Johnathon Williams Elizabeth Massie reveals the pros and cons of writing for the small press and the inspiration for her own very southern style of horror in this exclusive interview http://www.horrorreader.com/horror_reader/podcasts/massieint.mp3 Tue, 02 Aug 2005 03:00:00 GMT 31:59 horror books interviews Johnathon Williams Joseph Nassise, outgoing president of the Horror Writer's Association, talks about the controversies and successes of his three-year tenure. http://www.horrorreader.com/horror_reader/podcasts/NassiseInt8-12.mp3 Fri, 12 Aug 2005 03:00:00 GMT 31:31 horror books interviews Johnathon Williams Part 1 Correspondent Mark Justice gives Horror Reader an exclusive report from Horrorfind Weekend in Baltimore. http://johnathonwilliams.com/podcasts/HorrorFind1.mp3 Fri, 19 Aug 2005 20:00:00 GMT 8:41 horror books interviews Johnathon Williams Part 2 Correspondent Mark Justice files his second report from a party at the convention hotel.
