Dreadtime Stories: Michael Laimo’s Fires Rising Excerpt!

default-featured-image

Michael Laimo is one of the small number of authors I’ve discovered through the monthly publications of Leisure Books whose work has really done something for me. The first book I read by him, “>The Demonologist (review), impressed me; but it was his last novel, “>Dead Souls (review), that really made me sit up and take notice.

When I approached him to do a Dreadtime Story for us, he was the first author who chose to do an excerpt from his latest novel rather than a short story and for good reason; Fires Rising, which is out now (get it from Evilshop here!), is the book he’s most proud of to date.

The sample you can hear by clicking below or on the graphic above is just a very small section of a much larger story about a church on the verge of demolition whose horrific secrets are finally revealed. Get clicking below to hear part of Chapter One, and be sure to visit Michael at his official site to learn more about this terrifying new voice in horror!

    Ket tells Kim the rest of Smile 2. Listen, I sincerely hope that you have all put your fast pants on and haven’t borrowed any pants from either of Ket’s life partners, Kim OR Arik, because they only wear slow pants. We’ve also discovered something Kim should NOT include on her resUme and that’s “creepy smiling.” She’s too cute. Most importantly, we’ll learn if Kim will live or die in Smile 2.Writer/Dir.

    This week we're joined by Alex Henes and Matt Merenda, the filmmakers behind the yoga-horror found footage film Mind Body Spirit, which is available on demand and streaming on Shudder and AMC+. We chat about Sarah J. Bartholomew's fantastic performance, the script and more before diving into their childhoods and their very different reactions to horror as a kid. Then we chat about The Brave Little Toaster and how it destroyed all four of our childhoods. Anthropomorphic appliances, self-cannibalism, religion...this movie has it all and we laugh our way through describing just how messed up it actually is.
