2014 saw Kate Layte opening Boston's newest (and perhaps smallest) independent bookstore, Papercuts J.P., in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood.

Tiffany Scandal first landed on my radar with Jigsaw Youth. I don't even remember how I came across the book. Just that I picked it up and one day after work I was reading it while headed somewhere on the R train, and I got so absorbed I missed my stop. That's the sign of a good book.

As host of the This Is Horror Podcast I love to dissect storytelling and uncover ways in which writers can improve their craft. Today I deviate from the audio format and onto the page. Having recently worked with T.E. Grau on his forthcoming novella, They Don’t Come Home Anymore, I invited him to spend some time with us at LitReactor to tell us more about the origins of They Don’t Come Home Anymore. Here’s the result.

With Bird Box and the recently released A House at the Bottom of a Lake—plus, all the short stories he's published in various magazines and anthologies—Josh Malerman has quickly become one of my favorite modern horror writers.

Today I have the pleasure of ‘sitting down’ with author Chris Beckett. I absolutely love his literary science fiction novels Dark Eden (LitReactor Review) and Mother of Eden. (Dark Eden won the 2013 Arthur C. Clarke Award and was shortlisted for the 2012 BSFA Award for Best Novel.) His third and final book in the series, Daughter of Eden, just came out on October 6th.

The last few months have been busy for Tobias Carroll. His first collection of short stories, Transitory, came out this past August. Then in October, his first novel, Reel, came out. This is on top of being an editor at Vol. 1 Brooklyn, an instructor here at LitReactor, and in general, a good literary citizen, preaching the good book word on the social medias.

D. Foy's voice is unlike anything else on the shelves today. His whipcrack debut, Made to Break, caused a stir in literary circles. So many people were talking about it he ended up on my radar for the LitReactor workshop program. I shot him a note and asked him if he was interested in teaching a class. He came back with Gutter Opera, an idea I fell in love with before I'd even finished reading the pitch.

In the course of this interview, Bracken MacLeod refers to his new novel, Stranded, as "John Carpenter’s The Thing meets Jacob’s Ladder.” I don't know that I can describe it much better than that. But I'll try!

I'll Tell You In Person is one of the best books I've read this year. I've always enjoyed Chloe Caldwell's personal essays, but there's so much emotional honesty here, such a command of word and self, that it pretty much knocked me on my ass, over and over again.
