Spencer Church

A former aspiring comic book artist, Spencer is the cohost of the DPW Podcast as well as a short story writer and avid reader.


In today’s episode, we were originally scheduled to talk with Irish writer Frances Flannery about her debut novel, Writing Man. Unfortunately, the computer goblins have attacked us for a second week in a row and we couldn’t do the interview. But we refused to let that stand!

So, after calling an audible, we got horror author A.D. Jones to join us to discuss his new book, Sacrificial Waters. The conversation dips in and out of various topics such as indie publishing versus traditional, the difficulties of writing horror and adding twists on popular tropes, what really scares a horror author, and what kinds of things horror writers describe that even make them cringe.

If you want to see what A.D. is up to, you can follow him on Instagram @the_evergrowing_library.

#234: Noir Starter Pack For Beginners – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

We kick things off today with a reading from Finnegans Wake. This leads to some explanation of the nonsense that also sounds like nonsense.  After that, we sit back with bad whiskey and talk about some of the best noir novels for people who are new to the genre.
