Scotty talks to author Daniel Braum about the glories of “The Twilight Zone” (both the show and the magazine), writing “on the borderline” and the use of “night-time logic” in weird fiction, using generational trauma as a bridge to another culture in fiction, trusting your own vision vs. the market, and not being afraid of ambiguity.
They also discuss Braum’s short stories “The Hand of Fire” (from “The Jewish Book of Horror” anthology) and “How to Stay Afloat When Drowning” (from Braum’s collection “Underworld Dreams”), as well as his novella “The Serpent’s Shadow” which is being released in print for the first time from Cemetery Dance Publications.
