Something I have wanted to do for a while is host some of our local authors to stop by and chat about their books. This is the first of what I hope is in ongoing series. This week I sit down with Kaleb Bankston (K. Bankston) to talk about his debut horror novel The Boatman. The conversation covers Bankston’s lifelong love of scary stories, his journey from short fiction to full-length publishing, and how modern self-publishing gives new authors full creative control. Andy and K. dive into the book’s eerie Western setting, its haunting characters, and the challenges of writing and marketing indie horror in today’s digital landscape.
Find The Boatman on Amazon or order it locally through Brace Books & More.
