Books in the Freezer - A Horror Fiction Podcast

CJ Leede is in the house and we are solving crimes! Not really, but we are talking about her latest novel Headlights and blend of horror and crime, weird (and romantic!) sex scenes, the importance of pop culture in stories, the romance of Americana, her upcoming work and more! We also talk about books that balance the tightrope of crime and horror, some with possibly vampires and some with definitely vampires
