Episode 094: The Two-Headed Monster of Horror and Science Fiction with Lisa Gorski
In the world of genre and fandom, the universal currency is passion. Fans of different genres normally would not mix, but there are areas of overlap, LIKE a GENRE VENN DIAGRAM. Join me and H4H producer, Lisa Gorski, as we discuss the overlap between two of the most passionate fandoms, HORROR AND SCIENCE FICTION. (shock: Lisa is NOT a horror fan!) #horror #scifi #lovecraftcountry #sayhorror #alien #thething #TheExpanse #TheRitual
