Nightmares and Dreamscapes contains a whopping 24 short stories that range from melancholy observations of the fleeting nature of time to a secret society of bat people that rule all the world's governments. King dips his toes into Romero Zombie territory in this book, hardboiled crime fiction, a Sherlock Holmes tale, and one of his best: a loving homage to HP Lovecraft.
Horror author Nat Cassidy (When the Wolf Comes Home) has a new book of short stories coming out called I Know A Place: Rest Stop and Other Dark Detours so it was only natural that we brought him back on the show to talk about one of King's most beloved short story collections: Nightmares and Dreamscapes.
This is one of King's doorstoppers, so me, Breznican, and Nat all pick our three favorite stories and see what overlaps and what doesn't. Come of the talk of vampire urine, stay for the insightful chatter about how authors curate the pacing of short story collections.
Nat's new book, I Know A Place, is available for pre-order now and hits shelves May 5th.
