Creator Interview: Brandon O'Brien
Apr 24, 2024 Season 2 Episode 8
Tiffany and Nicole

We talk to award-winning writer, performance poet, teaching artist, and tabletop roleplaying game designer Brandon O'Brien about his poetry collection, Can You Sign My Tentacle? We discuss the strangely parasocial and fleeting nature of asking celebrities for an autograph, eldritch gods hanging out in our thoughts and anxieties, the lore of the Lagahoo of Trinidad and Tobago, how social dancing can inspire transcendence and destruction, and so much more.

An assignment for you, Pod People! During this episode, Brandon and Tiffany discuss how radically poetic it is that werewolves see the moon and love it so much that they have no choice but to turn into the truest version of themselves. We want to know what is your full moon and what is your werewolf self? Send us an email at horrorinthemargins@gmail.com or respond to our social posts across platforms.
