We were so lucky to get to talk to author, Kristi DeMeester on the podcast! She is the author of a short story collection, Everything That’s Underneath, that includes 18 darkly delicious short stories. Her novel, Beneath, published through Word Horde was one of our favorite novels of 2017. She’s also had stories included in many anthologies including Tales from a Talking Board, Eternal Frankenstein, Best Horror of the Year Vol. 9 and a Pseudopod episode.
