071 - Joshua Ginsberg on Tales From The Dusty Tiger
Joshua Ginsberg is a writer of hauntings, ghost stories, and histories of Florida. We discuss those a little in this episode, but focus on his collection of short stories, Tales From The Dusty Tiger. 

This episode was nearly lost. I thought I had posted it, but what really happened was that the audio file survived in the cloud after my now old computer took a nose dive off a table and died. The video did not survive for whatever reason. So, somewhere along the line, I forgot to post it, even though I thought I had. Jeez....

064 - Robbie Dorman Part 1: Writing Fast-Paced Fiction & Why You Should Read Robbie Dorman
In this episode of Weird Reads, I paste two older Jason's Weird Reads videos together, both involving Robbie Dorman. The first is a short explanation as to why I think you should read Robbie's books; the second is from when I had Robbie on the show about two years ago. That episode never got released in podcast form until now. Next week, assuming the tech gods still don't hate me, you will get an all-new discussion with Robbie Dorman.

060 - Chris Panatier Talks Sh!tshow
In this episode of Weird Reads, I sit down with author and artist Chris Panatier for a conversation that spans the heavy and the cosmic. We dive into his love of heavy metal bands and how music fuels his creativity, his experience designing album cover art, and why movies like Interstellar capture both the wonder and terror of space.

Chris also shares his thoughts on astrophysics, the awe-inspiring scale of the universe, and how writing fiction can be a way to confront your deepest fears. From metal riffs to cosmic dread, this is a discussion that blurs the lines between art, science, and storytelling.

058 - Going To Tick Town With Christopher A. Micklos
In this episode of Weird Reads, I sit down with author and filmmaker Christopher A. Micklos to talk about his gripping new book Tick Town, a fun tale that blends classic giant monsters and small-town dread. We also explore his history with making horror movies before digging into the book’s origins and themes.

Along the way, we trade thoughts on big bug horror and the pulpy paperbacks of the '70s and '80s. Plus, we talk about the creative (and creepy) implications of AI in storytelling—and whether it's a threat to today’s fiction writers.

057 - Daniel Braum on Creatures of Liminal Space and the Art of Atmospheric Horror
Author Daniel Braum returns to Weird Reads to discuss his latest collection, Creatures of Liminal Space.

In this episode, we delve into the dreamlike, slow-burn nature of Braum’s horror stories, exploring how he utilizes atmosphere and ambiguity to build dread, and what “liminal horror” truly means. We also explore how his work blends speculative elements with emotional realism, and why the scariest things are sometimes the least explained. If you’re into quiet horror, ghostly metaphors, and stories that linger long after the last page, this one’s for you.

056 - Pilgrims with M.R. Leonard
This episode is different from the typical Weird Reads episodes. First, I welcome a science fiction author onto the show, M.R. Leonard. Second, M.R. Leonard is a practicing Catholic, and his book, Pilgrims, is a first-contact story about Catholic aliens. You read that correctly—Catholic aliens. This doesn't necessarily make Pilgrims Christian science fiction. Listen in to see why. Also check out Michael's book, Pilgrims as it is a fascinating look into religion.

We also discuss a great deal of history, specifically Roman history, and a bit of astrophysics.
