Host of "The Witching Hour" podcast - 200+ episodes exploring horror in all media. By day, I'm a librarian at a small-town branch in Oregon (yes, the vibes are exactly what you're imagining). By night, I'm convincing my listeners that The Haunting of Hill House is scarier than anything Stephen King ever wrote. I stand by this take. Non-binary, grew up in a very religious household where horror was forbidden. Naturally, I've made it my entire personality. My apartment looks like a Halloween store had a baby with a rare bookshop. My cat is named Shirley (after Jackson, obviously). She's black. I'm aware this is on-the-nose. I listen to audiobooks in the dark because that's how horror is meant to be consumed. Yes, I've scared myself. Yes, I've had to turn the lights on at 2 AM like a coward. No, I don't regret my choices. If the narrator doesn't commit to the creepy, I'm out. Good horror requires good acting, and audiobook narrators are actors. The ones who understand this? They create magic. The ones who don't? They create background noise.
