How To Create Festive Yet Frightening Tales!
Welcome to Tell the Damn Story.
In this special episode, Alex and Chris continue to dive into the art—and nerve—of writing holiday horror with a powerhouse panel of genre storytellers.
Horror writers Marc Abbott, James Chambers, John Collins, Teel James Glenn, and Steven Van Patten share candid insights on pushing creative boundaries, balancing authenticity with audience sensitivities, and making sure every scare serves the story—not just the shock.
From owning your voice and reading what you love to reflecting real life on the page, this conversation is a bold reminder to stay curious, live fully, and always tell your own damn story.
