Hey everybody Eric here with a little note about today's episode before we dive in.

We had a little bit of an issue with Seth's audio at the beginning.

He's a little blown out.

The first 10 minutes are a little rough, but please bear with us through that. It gets way better after I promise and now on to the show

My name is Stephen King. The ice is gonna break.

The ice is gonna break.

Bad Rob. Bad Rob.

Sir!

Oh!

You guys want to go see a dead body.

But sometimes, that is better. Hello and welcome back to the King cast. My name is Scott Wampler.

And I'm Eric Vespi.

And we are your hosts.

The episode we have for you today is a little bit different than most of our other episodes, but sort of in the vein of the

Dark Tower episode we did a while back with Glenn Missouri. Our guest today is a man of unimpeachable horror bona fides. His 2009 novel,

Pride and Prejudice and zombies sold over a million copies and was translated into over 20 languages

before being adapted into a 2016 film of the same name.

His follow-up novel, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, was also a bestseller that found its way

onto the big screen, which our guest then followed up by producing 2017's It Chapter 1 and 2019's It Chapter 2.

Around that time he was announced as the showrunner on an Eyes of the Dragon series for Hulu, which, well, that brings us to today, doesn't it?

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the King cast age, Mr. Seth Graham Smith.

How are you doing today, sir?
