Our first three episodes focus on New York Times best-selling author Stephen Graham Jones.
In this first episode, Jones discusses his early life, how horror & reading became a part of his world, and begins his letter of advice to final girls everywhere.
If you haven’t read Stephen’s work, we highly recommend his stunner of a werewolf novel, Mongrels; his short story collection The Ones That Got Away; and his slasher novel My Heart is a Chainsaw (a book with a title that sticks in the mind like a catchy tune).
If you’re unfamiliar with the concept of a “final girl” here’s a little wiki primer.
