ETCH presents First Word on Horror, a 15 part documentary series by Philip Gelatt!

The documentary “features interviews with five of the most unique, insightful horror writers working today. They tell personal stories, read from their scariest works, and discuss the ins and outs of both writing and writing horror.”

In addition to Stephen Graham Jones (from the ETCH website):

A further taste of what lies in wait across our first season:

Paul Tremblay on his fearful youth, on wanting to make art the upsets, on the forces that control all of our lives and on dwelling in ambiguity.

Elizabeth Hand on the early days of punk, her harrowing survival of a near deadly attack, and on just what it takes to make it as an “ink-stained wretch.”

Laird Barron on growing up rough in rural Alaska, on the strange events that haunted him on the west coast, and on the simple, human power of legacy.

Mariana Enriquez on living under a dictatorship, on the aesthetic appeal of evil, on her own journey into the horror genre, and on why horror is what binds us all as humans.
