Scotty talks to author Larry Hinkle about his excellent new collection "The Space Between" (February 14, Trepidatio Publishing). They discuss how Larry's mother helped him discover his early love of horror, but also how negative experiences in writing workshops pushed him out of fiction writing for nearly three decades. After Scotty cools down from his rant about bad teachers, they talk about the value of brevity in the horror story, balancing humor, horror, and poignancy in Larry's work, time travel narratives, Lovecraft's complicated legacy, how to turn a garbage dump into a living, peeing kaiju, and much more. They also talk about the incredible 2017 independent sci-fi/horror mindbender "The Endless," which was written-and-directed-by and stars Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead.
