After Hours AM_ Stories That Linger in the Dark _ Horror Author Matthew Salinas
Some stories don't end when you close the book. Some follow you into the darkness. This week on After Hours AM, hosts Joel Sturgis and Brittany Seifert welcome horror author Matthew Salinas for a chilling journey into the world of horror fiction, psychological terror, and the stories that haunt our imaginations long after the final page. Based in Illinois, Matthew is an accomplished writer of horror novels, short stories, and micro-fiction. He's a member of the Chicago Writers Association and the Horror Writers Association, and had the distinction of serving on the first-ever American Library Association Reader's Advisory Panel on Horror Fiction. In addition to creating his own dark tales, Matthew works as an editor and interviewer for Fairfield Scribes, based in Connecticut. Tonight, we'll explore what makes a truly terrifying story, the psychology behind our fascination with fear, the difference between supernatural horror and real-life nightmares, and what inspires writers to venture into the darkest corners of the human imagination. We'll also discuss classic horror, modern storytelling, the future of the genre, and whether reality can sometimes be more frightening than anything fiction could create. What scares a horror writer? And what happens when the stories we tell begin to feel a little too real? Join us for an evening of fascinating conversation, dark imagination, and a few things that might make you think twice before turning out the lights.🎙️ Hosts: Joel Sturgis & Brittany Seifert👻 Special Guest: Horror Author Matthew Salinas📅 Sunday at 7 PM Central📺 Watch live on YouTube and Facebook!After Hours AM — Your Refuge From Normal.
