I know there are probably a lot of T.E.D. Klein fans around here (because “Poroth Farm” is amazing and everyone should read it), and I’ve always wondered what happened to him. I knew he worked at GQ as an editor but never heard much beyond that. Well, here’s a brand new interview with him. http://www.scottedelman.com/2018/05/02/share-a-pastrami-sandwich-with-t-e-d-klein-in-episode-65-of-eating-the-fantastic/#more-24910 Fair warning: there are loud sounds of eating during this interview and it will most likely drive everyone that listens crazy. It’s like poor Teddy doesn’t know how to close his mouth when he eats.

Ornamented Death posted:It was never a secret that Klein suffered from career-crippling writer's block, he's been pretty open about it through the years. It's a damned shame and a huge loss for the horror genre, honestly. Ah, I didn’t know that. That’s such a shame. When his writing is on point it eclipses so much else in horror.

Vastarien posted:I remember some talk a while back about Klein vowing to finally finish his second novel, Nighttown. S. T. Joshi mentioned in a blog post about meeting Klein during a trip to New York and discussing it. It really is a shame that Klein never produced more material. The Events at Poroth Farm, Nadelman's God, and Children of the Kingdom are some of my all-time favorite stories. Oh yeah, I just got to the part in the podcast interview where they bring it up. Interested to hear what Klein says about it.

DrVenkman posted:I think the inclusion of Junji Ito and Joe R Lansdale make that a pretty good list though. THE NIGHT THEY MISSED THE HORROR SHOW is ugly in the best way. I re-read The Night They Missed The Horror Show at least once a year. It just packs such a punch. I love it.

Kestral posted:One of the teens I work with recently discovered Doki Doki Literature Club, and was telling me about how much they liked the short story hidden in that game, which is essentially the first-person confession letter of young sociopath describing the circumstances of her first murder. Since I'm always eager to get these kids to read, and they said they'd be interested in checking out other things that strike a similar chord, I'm looking for something that might work for them. The first-person epistolary format is the secret sauce here, and I also don't want to scare them off with prose that's going to make them run to the dictionary every paragraph. Honestly, even good creepypasta might fit the bill, and act as a gateway drug to more serious horror lit. Any suggestions? The answer you’re looking for: day-gas posted:Finished Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke as it finally hit Kindle. Gonna take a while to digest but it was very gripping, and managed to be intense via a chatlog which I would not have guessed possible.
