Horror and Morbid Curiosity with Coltan Scrivner

Horror and Morbid Curiosity with Coltan Scrivner

Grab some candy (or brains): Halloween is here! This week, we talk to Coltan Scrivner about why we can't look away from the macabre, what exactly the "horror" genre is, and why a self-dose of fear and horror may be good for anxiety. If you are curious about horror, true crime, cobwebs, zombies, great white sharks, Jurassic Park, or whether its good for kids to experience gross or scary things, this episode is for you!

Also, today, Coltan's book, Morbidly Curious, comes out:
