Summary

Celebrated novelist and comic book writer Benjamin Percy joins Breznican and Vespe to discuss Stephen King's Cycle of the Werewolf and its bonkers film adaptation, Silver Bullet. He has an ulterior motive showing up around these parts as well and that's to reveal that Stephen King himself is taking part in his next project, a post-apocalyptic story that will be released monthly in old school newspaper format.

Most of the material will be written by Percy, but King decided he wanted a column in "The End Times." To find out more about that and how to pre-order, visit https://badhandbooks.com/preorders/the-end-times-digital-subscription.

We talk about the end of the world a little bit as well as monthly storytelling against the backdrop of Cycle of the Werewolf.
