My guest in this episode is Jack Rollins, author of the Gaslamp horror The Victorian Vampire Chronicles, the action packed zombie survival story Dead Shore, and the terrifying anthology Scattered Ashes.
We discuss the challenges of traditional vs self publishing, writing processes, outlining novels, morally ambiguous characters, marketing tips and how personal fears shape our writing.
The Host:
Newton Webb is a British horror author with fourteen published books. His collected works, Tales of the Macabre Volumes 1–3, contain tales of temptation, dread, and the hidden evils lurking beneath everyday life.
Inspired by splatterpunk and classic gothic themes, his fiction frequently blends visceral horror with psychological tension, reflecting influences ranging from heavy metal to ancient mythology.
Outside his writing career, Newton co-chairs the UK Chapter of the Horror Writers Association.
The Guest:
Jack Rollins was born and raised among the twisting cobbled streets and lanes, ruined forts and rolling moors of rural Northumberland, England in 1980. He is the author of the horror novel Doctor Blessings Curse, the novella The Séance and a range of short, dark fiction tales.
He can be found on SubStack and is well worth a follow.
