Tarot author Sasha Graham will be hosting me as part of her Ghost Stories by the Fire series to launch the trade paperback edition of The Serpent’s Shadow on Tuesday September 12, 2023.
Joining me will be stand out authors Luisa Colon, Ben Franciscio, and Robert Levy.
The event takes place at Barrow’s Intense Tasting Room in Industry City, Brooklyn from 7 to 10 pm.
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.

You can read an excerpt of THE SERPENT’S SHADOW as well as some introductory thoughts on the book over on Cemetery Dance online here:
On August 26, 2023 I appeared on Into the Abyss. We discussed the Serpent’s Shadow and more.
There are technical difficulties at first but after a few minutes the show gets going with a wide ranging discussion of all thing horror.
