About this episode

Greg Greene interviews Pulitzer Prize finalist and MacArthur Fellow Kelly Link about a handful of her favorite horror stories as well as the horror thread running through her own fiction. We enjoy a spoiler-filled deep dive on the following tales, and recommend reading them before listening to this episode. "My Father's Mask" by Joe Hill "The Time Remaining" by Attila Veres "The Low, Dark Edge of Life," "Furnace," and "The Last, Clean, Bright Summer" by Livia Llewellyn "The Specialist's Hat" and "The White Road" by Kelly Link Content warning: "The Last, Clean, Bright Summer" addresses some especially difficult subject matter.
