On the final day of StokerCon 2017, I woke ridiculously early for a breakfast recording of Eating the Fantastic at Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles<\/a>—to the great skepticism of almost everyone I’d told at the con, who doubted those two foodstuffs were meant to be ingested simultaneously. <\/p>\n

Luckily, my guest this episode was not<\/em> a skeptic, and enthusiastically accompanied me for the greasy goodness. Five-time Bram Stoker Award winning-writer Nancy Holder had been the Toastmaster during the previous night\u2019s ceremony, is the author of the young adult horror series Possessions<\/em>, and has written many tie-in works set in such universes as Teen Wolf<\/em>, Buffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em>, Angel<\/em>,\u00a0Smallville<\/em>, and Wonder Woman<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We discussed her somewhat secret origin as a romance novelist, why her first horror convention made her burst into tears, how she got off on the wrong foot with acclaimed editor Charles L. Grant, what caused her Edgar Allan Poe obsession to begin, why she was a fan of DC Comics instead of Marvel as a kid, what Ed Bryant might have meant when he called her \u201cthe first splatterpunk to chew with her mouth closed,\u201d and more.<\/p>\n
