So excited to welcome postmodern horror writer Brian Evenson to the show. A true honor. And the first fiction writer on the show! Brian is one of my favorite authors, and his stories are violent, unsettling, and profound. We talk about horror fiction, the occult, David Lynch, metaphors, the horror of relationships extending into our lives, the concept of doubles, the meaninglessness or meaning of suffering, and revising everything we know. I also ask Brian how a character could get out of one of his stories unscathed. Brian also reads the beginning of his story, "The Intricacies of Post-Shooting Etiquette" from his collection, The Wavering Knife. Oh, and also, I ask about if Brian's stories all stem from boner shame.
