Manage episode 491634118 series 2984311
According to bestselling horror author Stephen Graham Jones, good stories don’t happen in heaven — they happen in hell.

Stephen joins guest host Talia Schlanger to discuss the metaphorical link between vampires and colonialism, and what it really means to be a vampire. Plus, he opens up about his frustrations with the media putting Indigenous stories in a “sacred space,” and the damage that does to storytelling. If you’re looking for more from Stephen, check out Talia’s conversation with him from last year.
