This week in The Confessional I'm joined by RJ Joseph. RJ is an award winning, Stoker Award™ and Shirley Jackson Award nominated, Texas based academic and creative writer/professor/editor whose writing regularly focuses on the intersections of gender and race in the horror and romance genres and popular culture. We discuss 1982's "Alone in the Dark". This early 80s slasher boasts a chilling premise and a cast of genre legends, including Donald Pleasance, Jack Palance, and Martin Landau.

RJ occasionally peeks out online through social media from @rjacksonjoseph or www.rhondajacksonjoseph.com.
