We open the episode with more great publishing news—a trend we hope never ends! After that, we get into the episode proper with a review of L. Stephenson’s new horror novella, The Boy at No. 9 Whitlock.

At first it was bad parents, bullies, and budding romances. But the tragic life of young Matthew Rose is about to get much worse…because the boy who lives at No. 9 Whitlock is about to meet a demon.

“One of the darkest coming-of-age horrors I’ve read. Grizzly and unrelenting. I wanted to look away, but I couldn’t.” – KEV HARRISON, Author of Shadow of the Hidden & Below

“Stephenson shows that horror isn’t all about sending chills down one’s spine; sometimes, it can be about moving the heart.” – REBECCA ROWLAND, Shirley Jackson Award-nominated Author of White Trash & Recycled Nightmares

You can purchase the novella now on Amazon.

#219: Books We Want To See Turned Into Movies – Drunken Pen Writing Podcast

The government has decided to pay us not to work and instead focus on our art! Or at least that's the scenario we discuss in today's cold open. What would you do with your free time if you received a universal basic income and no longer had to work a day job? After that, and on the back of Andy Weir's hit book turned movie, Project Hail Mary, we learn about plans for a new sci-fi flick adapted from a popular book series. This leads us to a conversation about what books, sci-fi and others, that we would like to see adapted into a movie or TV series.
