KWR # 337 The Bloody List with David Musser
Apr 2301:55:44Tap to summarizeMix the psychodrama of Bret Easton Ellis, with a dash of the macabre of H.P. Lovecraft, and sprinkle in the style of Bram Stoker and you maaay... have tapped into the mind of horror author David Musser. A dangerous spelunking it is indeed to delve into this hilariously entertaining soul that is dying to cut you... a new crack in your imagination! From the music behind his creations, to the sardonic execution of his tale of the dark passenger, we uncover what is most frightening in his works, as well as timing those humorous moments. We dive into Musser's books, The Bloody List: Letters from a Serial Killer, The Devils Well and his work with London Blu, The Last Call and so much more on the development behind the inspirations.

Jan 3001:34:47Tap to summarizeAndrea Volpato ignites the room wherever he may roam, and as he states this "hang" disguised as an interview (we are good) opens realms of emotions behind the song writing process.
