Listen "253 – Keith Rosson & The Real V-Word"
Episode Synopsis
Do you like your vampires slick and suave or rugged and raging?
If it’s the latter, you’ll very much enjoy KeithRosson’s Coffin Moon. It’s a 70s-set bareknuckle revenge road trip of a book, with some of the meanest vampires you’ll ever meet (and love).
Keith is back in the show for the second time in a year, to talk all about it. We get into his problem with ‘classic’ vampires aesthetics, the lure of backstory, taking hard advice from editors, and violence… a whole lotta violence!
This is a joy of a book, and a blast of a conversation.
Enjoy!
