  • Conversation with writer Graham Johnson: John Langan's The Fisherman
    Apr 30 2024

    Unlike most episodes, this time I sit down with my friend and fellow writer, Graham Johnson. He chose the book we both read--⁠The Fisherman (by John Langan)⁠--and we sit down to talk about the book, gothic/horror fiction, and why he chose this particular book for us to chat about.

    You can learn more about Graham Johnson and his writing with the Chaska Herald here.

    Thanks for listening!

    Your friendly intensely curious author and indie publisher!
