Rebecca Rowland returns (3)

Bram Stoker and Shirley Jackson Award-nominated author Rebecca Rowland ("Eminence Front") returns to talk about her latest collection "Unsettled Score: A Mixtape of Arthouse Horror." She and Scotty discuss the definition of "arthouse horror," and they talk about writing processes, inhabiting the mindset of predators, the responsibility authors have to their own work, life before cell phones, true crime, exploring villainy in queer characters, the 1990 film "Jacob's Ladder," and more.

They also do a deep dive into the 2024 film "The Dead Thing" (directed by Elric Kane), and consider its place in the "arthouse horror" pantheon.

WARNING: This conversation has some big spoilers for "The Dead Thing," and minor spoilers for "Jacob's Ladder."
