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.

You can order a copy of his new book at https://www.amazon.com/Sacrificial-Waters-D-Jones/dp/B0CY962F45

#218: Talking About Pulp Novels Again – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

In today's cold open, we discuss the nonsense that is Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon. It's about rockets and man boners. That's probably all you need to know. After that, we settle in and talk about famous literary novels that started off as pulp. Or so we're told! There's a lot of goofiness packed into this one.
