On episode 18 of Our First Fears, NY Times and USA Today bestselling author, Daniel Kraus joins me in a conversation about Fangoria Magazine – the tentpole horror movie publication that debuted in the late 1970s and quickly became a shocking staple on magazine stands and in bookshops due to the gory horror makeup effects and grody titles displayed on its covers.
Daniel Kraus is the co-creator of The Shape of Water with Guillermo Del Toro, the co-author of The Living Dead with George A. Romero, and the author of the Bram Stoker Award winner They Stole Our Hearts, part two of his eery middle-grade Teddies Saga trilogy.
Daniel’s recent book, Whalefall, has been making big waves. Thrilling, grotesque, and heart-punching, it’s a science-based story about a young scuba diver who is swallowed by a whale, and what he must do if he hopes to escape. You’re gonna wanna read this one. Trust me.
