Join hosts J.D. Barker, Christine Daigle, JP Rindfleisch, Kevin Tumlinson, and Patrick O'Donnell as they discuss the week's publishing topics, including the demise of the controversial web app prosecraft.io. Then stick around as Patrick chats with returning guest (and all-around rockstar) Josh Malerman!

Josh Malerman is a New York Times bestselling author and one of two singer-songwriters for the rock band The High Strung. His debut novel, Bird Box, is the inspiration for the hit Netflix film of the same name. His other novels include Unbury Carol, Inspection, A House at the Bottom of a Lake, Pearl, Goblin, Daphne, and Malorie, the sequel to Bird Box. His latest collection, Spin a Black Yarn, releases tomorrow, August 15, from Del Rey.
