There have been many interviews about his work, but as with all of my "Deep Background" episodes, this interview focuses on the man himself. We talked about his family, the sacrifices made by his mother, being kicked out of college (and finding the strength to get back in), childhood memories, what made him decide to be a writer, and most fascinating of all, that one moment that changed everything for him.

  Gothic Cosmic Horror: an interview with Nathan Ballingrud (and some surprise guests!)

  Jul 3, 202658 minS2026

  🍁 Lovecraft eZine Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/lovecraftezine 🍁 Interview with author Nathan Ballingrud. Join us as we discuss the second book in his "Lunar Gothic" trilogy, CATHEDRAL OF THE DROWNED: https://www.amazon.com/Cathedral-Drowned-Lunar-Gothic-Trilogy-ebook/dp/B0DDJCJ1BW/146-8557531-8458813 🍁 We had two surprise guests: 12-year-old Everleigh, and her dad JT! JT is one of my Patreons, and when I heard that his daughter loved Nathan's novel THE STRANGE, I asked him if he thought that she would like to join us on this episode for a few minutes. Her dad writes: "Everleigh has been raised as a reader in the house and by proxy of my love of horror/weirdlit, movies, etc., she was inducted early into the fold. As she got older, her reading tastes changed and she became more interested in my books, specifically cosmic horror (she loved The Mist) and sci-fi themes, especially if they have female protagonists. So, I recommended The Strange! She has Lunar Gothic trilogy tee'd up but currently reading The Starving Saints. Gotta teach 'em young." 🍁 Podcast shorts: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6VMiwKgvt-ExzdK4kAQmXWWlcnwW6y2I 🍁 Josh Malerman interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VefXSzdGqE0 🍁 Hailey Piper interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuQEEU6jFko 🍁 Thomas Olde Heuvelt interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_ple_n5aKY 🍁 Secrets of Lovecraftian geography: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II5GvozhKAg #cosmichorror #gothichorror #gothic
