Episode 64: Middle Grade Horror with Cameron Chaney

“I am going to die, her brain recited calmly. I am going to be stabbed until I am died. How infuriating. I have so much left to do.”

Claire legrand, The cavendish home for boys and girls

I am joined this week by Cameron Chaney, a repeat guest. He’s was on the young adult episode and he’s back to reminisce about perusing nineties horror chapter books, his new book Autimncrowe, and some contemporary suggestions for middle grade horror.
