Manage episode 372478565 series 3473450
Scotty talks to author Tamika Thompson about her upbringing in Detroit, her journey from broadcast journalism to writing horror, balancing the political with the psychological in her work, the importance of the revision to the creative process, and the impact of the 1995 classic anthology horror film "Tales from the Hood" on her artistic point of view. In the process, we discuss her masterful novella "Salamander Justice" and her new collection of short fiction "Unshod, Cackling, and Naked."
