What do campfire ghost stories, classic horror, twist endings, and Batman Beyond have in common?
Apparently... Marie Sutro. 😄

Always love talking horror with Nick Cutter. Smart, thoughtful, funny, and never afraid to go to some deeply uncomfortable places in his storytelling.

We sat down to talk about his new novel, aging, mortality, body horror, and the fear of losing control of our own bodies and minds. One of my favorite Quills & Chills conversations yet.
