EP 27 With Daniel Braum

On this episode, we are very excited to welcome back author Daniel Braum (see episode 18). 

 Daniel Braum writes “strange tales” in the tradition of Robert Aickman. His stories, set in locations around the globe, explore the tension between the psychological and supernatural.

He is the author of the collections Underworld Dreams, The Wish Mechanics: Stories of the Strange and Fantastic, and Yeti Tiger Dragon. 

The all-new Cemetery Dance Publications edition of his first short story collection The Night Marchers and Other Strange Tales is out May 19th.

Cemetery Dance Publications will be releasing his novella The Serpent’s Shadow in Fall 2023.

We talk to Daniel about the re-release of his first short story collection, The Night Marchers and Other Strange Tales. Daniel tells us how it was to revisit these stories and about the gorgeous cover that Dan Sauer created for it. We ask about his hope for the collection.

We pick Daniel's brain about changes in the industry that he has seen since this collection first came out. We also chat about story revisions, story endings, and other areas of rewrites that are challenging.

We asked Daniel about the reoccurring elements of water and music in his work, the answers may intrigue you. We asked how Daniel creates such rich settings and characters and joins them together for some unforgettable stories.

We discuss the power of the liminal space between the supernatural and science and the human condition.

Daniel reads from Music of the Spheres, the opening story of the collection.
