Macabre Daily's PAPER CUTS! Podcast #114 - Christopher Golden On Blending Genres To Deliver Great Scares (July 2026)
Christopher Golden is our horror utility player. You can count on him to deliver scares no matter what he’s writing. Comfortable and confident with mystery, thriller, horror, adventure, and noir, just to name a few, Golden can whip up a cracking good tale in any and all of them. With his newest, “Carry Me To My Grave,” he blends damn near all those genres into a novel as heartstopping as it is heartbreaking. A two-fisted tale of terror that lights a fuse in the first few pages and doesn’t let up until the very last page. This is Golden’s best, and that’s saying something for an author with as remarkable a catalog as he has. Chris joined us to talk about the influences that shaped the novel, and the chat goes all over the place in the most delightful of ways. We get into our shared love for TCM, classic film posters, the joy (and expense) of collecting, vampires, witches, the elegant beauty of train travel, and so much more. This man is a treasure trove of fantastic stories and instantly became one of our favorite guests. Do yourself a favor: after you have a listen, hit the link below to purchase this amazing novel (which has already been optioned for film, btw) and enjoy one of the most thrilling reads of the summer!

Macabre Daily's PAPER CUTS Podcast! #113 - C.S. Humble Brings Terror To The Wild Frontier, And It's Glorious (JULY 2026)
Period piece horror has a special place in our hearts, especially westerns. There’s something romantic and ominous about the open plain's breathtaking mystery. The thoroughly researched detail of time and place adds depth and richness to the text, easily transporting us wherever the author wants to take us and, by proxy, however they want to terrify us. There’s a new favorite of this subgenre here at Macabre Daily’s PAPER CUTS, and that’s none other than author extraordinaire C.S. Humble. His weird westerns are easily among our favorite works of fiction from the last twenty years. His mastery of multiple genres places his work alongside greats like McMurtry, Portis, Lansdale, and King. If you’ve yet to pick up one of Seth’s novels, be prepared to lose yourself to a whirlwind of emotion. Like the very best of the authors mentioned above, these books are epics in their own right and will wreck you emotionally, while simultaneously thrilling you page after page. Seth joined us for what became one of our favorite chats to date. We dig into his horror origins as a child, the complicated beauty of Texas as both a place and a culture, subverting tired stereotypes to create exciting new representations, spoiler-free tidbits about the “Amid The Vastness of All Else” saga, and a ton more. What makes Seth so endlessly entertaining is his ability to dazzle with anecdotes that would fit easily around the Algonquin Round Table, while cracking us up with the affable charm that seems innate in almost every Texan we’ve ever met. Enjoy this introduction to a stellar author, and get used to it, as Seth will be returning later this summer to discuss his groundbreaking work further. For now, sit back, have a listen, and enjoy! You can purchase all of C.S. Humble’s novels here. You can follow C.S. Humble on Instagram here.

Macabre Daily's PAPER CUTS! Podcast #112 - Daniel Kraus (THE SIXTH NIK) July 2026
What a year Daniel Kraus is having. When he’s not busy reinventing the perfect sci-fi horror mash-up, creating the claustrophobic nightmare of ending up in a whale’s gullet, or delivering the definitive expose on “Night of the Living Dead,” he’s racking up Pulitzers for Fiction, like a Boss! The man has no “off” switch, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Going through Daniel’s bibliography is a head-spinning fever dream of horror highpoints and collaborations we’d kill for. The man has Del Toro on speed dial for f*cks sake! (That’s a wild assumption, but we bet we’re right) Daniel joined us to talk about his amazing new novel, “The Sixth Nik,” a deep-space, misfits-on-a-mission, body-mod, biomatter, acid-trip of a story that’s as audacious as it is appealing. This is the closest you’ll ever come to the most perfect issue of “Heavy Metal” never made. This book is a departure from what Daniel has done previously, or maybe it would be best to say what he just hadn’t gotten around to yet. The highest praise we can give it, other than it’s spectacular, is that we’re rabid to get back to this beautifully bizarre world he’s created. We had a blast talking to Daniel, and as always, he was amazing. Have a listen and enjoy! You can purchase “The Sixth Nik” here. You can follow Daniel Kraus on Instagram here.
