Brian Keene on Yours Truly: “The Best of His Generation”

Posted on by Jonathan Janz

If you didn’t listen to Brian Keene’s THE HORROR SHOW on Thursday night, you missed a doozy of an episode. Not only did Brian and Dave discuss THE FORCE AWAKENS, BONE TOMAHAWK, and a good many other diverse subjects, but Brian also revealed his Top Ten Books of 2015. Clocking in at #9?

I’m hard-pressed to name my favorite moment of the episode, but it’s either when Brian–whom I truly believe to be the best writer of his generation–called me the best writer of my generation or when he described THE NIGHTMARE GIRL as “ROSEMARY’S BABY on meth,” which might be the catchiest tagline I’ve ever heard.

As always, the entire podcast is fantastic, so you can check it out here (THE NIGHTMARE GIRL section comes at about the 40:40 mark).

So a huge thank you to Brian for the honor, and another thank you to Dave Thomas for his kind words.

That’s all for today. Don’t forget to join me on SUNDAY night at 8:00 on Brian’s forum for a wild-and-woolly “Ask Me Anything” event.

Peace.

Jonathan Janz grew up between a dark forest and a graveyard, and in a way, that explains everything. Brian Keene named his debut novel The Sorrows “the best horror novel of 2012”. The Library Journal deemed his follow-up, House of Skin, “reminiscent of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House and Peter Straub’s Ghost Story.” Samhain Horror will also publish his third novel, The Darkest Lullaby, in April. Savage Species will be his fourth full-length work. Look for his fifth novel, a vampire western called Dust Devils, in early 2014. He has also written three novellas (The Clearing of Travis Coble, Old Order, and Witching Hour Theatre) and several short stories. His primary interests are his wonderful wife and his three amazing children, and though he realizes that every author’s wife and children are wonderful and amazing, in this case the cliché happens to be true.
