Grady Hendrix’s new novel, How to Sell a Haunted House, is the culmination of what his career as a horror novelist has been all about: building terror through emotion and experiences we can all relate to. In this discussion, Adam and Grady chat about how these emotional cores that transform into fear sprung from his original passion for folklore and the horror that comes from it. 
They discuss his early years living in England, how he came to be known as “the horror book” person, what makes a good story in eyes and so much more. They then turn the episode into an impromptu horror book recommendation session (see below!)
