In this episode of the Night Keep, I got my good friend, Mark Bogner to ride shotgun with me as we enjoy a laid back talk fest. We talk horror news such as the new Castlevania series, Friday the 13th cancellations, and since I was with "Mr. Tangent Bound" - well - tangents abounded. My main reason to get him on the show was to get his history and perspective on starting up a podcast, plus his newest ventures in microphone manufacturing. Sit back, enjoy, and hopefully you will have some fun listening vicariously to our meanderings.

Welcome to the Night Keep podcast. I had a chance to talk with my good friend, Mr. T D Trask about his excellent horror anthology, "Banquet of Souls". It's a great book, and if you would like to know more, check out T D Trask on his Amazon page - here ; He also contributes to Deadsville After Dark and can be found at deadsvilleblog.com=================================I mentioned my friend's GoFundMe project.

Thank you for listening to the Night Keep podcast!

Welcome to The Night Keep. This is a very special episode wherein I get to speak with one of my musical influences and heroes: Council Of Nine. Council of Nine is the musical offering of Max Olivier and I have been a fan of his work for a couple of years. I fell down a wabbit hole and discovered the Cryo Chamber Dark Ambient label, and one of the first albums I listened to was “Dhakma” by Council of Nine. Along with having a very ominous and awesome name, Council of Nine (and all of the music on Cryo Chamber, as a matter of fact) focuses on cinematic dark ambience, evoking moods and imagery through soundscapes.ARCHIVED EPISODE - MAY 2016I am thrilled to be able to sit down and chat with Max about his music, his inspirations, and as our conversation progressed, we quickly discovered we have many of the same interests.Council of Nine can be found on the Cryo Chamber BandCamp and website.As always, if you are an indie horror creator and would like to be on the podcast, please let me know.Follow on Twitter – @TheNightKeepWant to hear the music of The Night Keep?

ARCHIVED EPISODE - MARCH 2016Welcome to The Night Keep… only this time, it’s not about horror – unless you consider trying to be an independent publisher – in that case, then this panel might be a little scary. Just kidding. I was blessed with the opportunity to have a booth presence at my first convention, Agamacon in Aiken, South Carolina. I was also incredibly blessed to meet many new friends and connections living in my area – and they are all creators, as well. I hosted a panel, a “Dannal Panel”, if you like. My panel was “Indie Publishing – Get Your Creations Made”, and this is a recording of that panel. I am still overwhelmed by the amount of talent that was present at my panel, as well as staggered by the positive feedback. It went so well, I wanted to share it with everyone. I hope something is said that might be of help. I do ramble, so there is your warning.I admit it in the panel, and I mention here as well: I am no one special, nor am I trying to give any air of conceit. I merely feel that I may have an insight in the indie publishing scene that people may not be aware of. I also wanted to hammer in my positive influence on as many people in one setting as I could.“Don’t you EVER let anyone tell you what you can’t do.”The audio quality is a bit… okay, it’s not that great at all. It was recorded on a Tascam DR-07 with a lavalier mic. It’s also my first panel. Cut me some slack.Remember, as indie creators, the deck is stacked against us, but we do have resources. USE Google. The width and breadth of human knowledge is at our fingertips. USE it. Also remember, Twitter is free.Here are links to the sites that I mention in the panel.

ARCHIVED EPISODE - JANUARY 2016Welcome to The Night Keep. In this episode, I get to have a conversation with author John Brhel about his new book, “Tales from Valleyview Cemetery” (available on Amazon). Valleyview is a collection of 17 horror stories in the fictional town of Lestershire and its malevolent cemetery, Valleyview. Each story stands alone, and yet many interconnect with other stories; a quality horror anthology worth your time to read, and if you don’t believe this write-up, then I invite you to listen to the podcast, and make your own decision!

ARCHIVED EPISODE - 2015 Welcome to The Night Keep. In this episode, I have a conversation with two awesome indie authors: Dale Elster and T. D. Trask; talking about their new book, “Deadsville“. The book is awesome, the authors are awesome, and they are the epitome of Indie – they had an idea, wrote a book, and got it published – all by themselves. Have a listen, and enjoy the conversation with Dale and Terry as we talk about their new book. I hope everyone has had a great Thanksgiving and here’s wishing you have a Happy Holiday season and a Merry Christmas.
