Bestselling author William Bernhardt discusses the trends, topics, and news from the world of books, then interviews John Wooley, author of horror novels and much more.

In this episode, Bernhardt combines the news and writing features to discuss how the content of books is changing in the digital era--for instance, romance novels that break barriers or read like romcoms, and literary novels that imploy horror tropes.

In the interview segment, Bernhardt talks to John Wooley, a veteran of more than forty years as a professional novelist. He is best known as a horror writer, but has also written comic books, comic strips, biography, science fiction, and much more--and has gained much wisdom and insight along the way.
