On episode 9 of Our First Fears, Bram Stoker Award Finalist, Lora Senf and I explore childhood memories of our early love for John Bellairs’s classic novel, The House With a Clock in its Walls, how this book inspired us to tell our own kinds of stories, why Bellairs’s work has sparked a modern cult following, and how writing horror - for kids in particular - is a powerful kind of magic.  Lora’s first book, The Clackity, is a must for kids and adults, both, who like their scares with heaps of heart and hope. That first one is available now in paperback, and its sequel, The Nighthouse Keeper, comes out on October 17th, 2023. You won't want to miss it! I promise. Follow the Our First Fears podcast on social media sites @ourfirstfears.And feel free to reach out at [email protected]. Also, check out my own socials:@danpoblox on Instagram @danpoblocki on Twitter/X.
