Eli and Mel welcome author Paul Lonardo to the show for a first-of-its-kind guest appearance! Paul has published everything from horror to romance, biography to true crime, spec-fic to sports history, horror haikus to a children’s book about a goblin baseball player! Eli and Mel pick his brain clean, getting the inside scoop on his lifelong love of the horror genre, how he collaborates with normal people (you know, non-writers), the pitfalls of writing true crime, what motivates a man to write a horror haiku a day for an entire year, and even exchanges nostalgic stories with Eli about the mortuary sciences… which isn’t creepy at all… So join us for a DUSE original as we drop the mic for an interview with Paul Lonardo!
And a big thank you to Paul for taking the time to join us for the show! Paul and Elijah both have stories published in BLOOD LUST from Black Hare Press. Paul will also appear in the upcoming INANIMATE THINGS: VOLUME TWO from Burial Books, releasing April 18, 2025. All of Paul’s work can be found on his website, The Goblin Pitcher, and on his Amazon page. Check them out!
