Episode 48: Interview with Hailey Piper author of The Worm and His Kings

For episode 48 I have a conversation with a young and upcoming
voice in the rising Queer horror movement. Of course, queer
horror is nothing new  Clive Barker and Poppy Z. Brite were
out voices as far back as the 80s  and 90s but exciting new
things are happening in this space and Hailey has become a leader
in the movement based on the strength of Her novella  The
Worm and His Kings which is an early favorite for a favorite read
of the year already.   


Hailey Piper writes horror and dark fantasy and is a member of
the  Horror Writers Association.  Her other titles
include Unfortunate  Elements of My Anatomy, The Possession
of Natalie Glasgow, and Benny  Rose, the Cannibal King. Her
short fiction appears in such places as  Year’s Best
Hardcore Horror, The Arcanist, Flash Fiction Online, Daily
 Science Fiction, Tales to Terrify, Blood Bath Literary
Zine, and lots of other spaces.  


In this conversation, we talk about Hailey’s early and modern
influences, her early books, and her new collection. Then we dive
into a  spoiler-free and spoiler-tastic look at  The
Worm and His Kings. Don’t worry there is a warning but you can
listen to most of the interview without concern of spoilers.
