TIH 237: J.R. Park and Tracy Fahey on Anthologies, Story Obstacles, and Collaborations
In this podcast Justin Park and Tracy Fahey talk about anthologies, story obstacles, collaborations, and much more.
About J.R. Park
J. R. Park is a horror author from Bristol UK. He released his first book, Terror Byte, in 2014 and no one told him to stop. His inspirations have been cited as exploitation cinema, manhandled second-hand horror books from charity shops, misheard conversations and cheese before bed. He delights in taking pulp-horror ideas, and bending them into twisted, new forms.
