On a paranormal doubleheader edition of After Hours AM/America’s Most Haunted Radio — scintillating paranormal talk Thursdays 9-11pE with hosts Joel Sturgis and Eric Olsen — we welcome legendary horror/sci-fi editor and anthologist Ellen Datlow to talk about her latest shocking anthology The Devil and the Deep: Horror Stories of the Sea and her storied career rooting around in the dark recesses of the imagination. Ellen joins us at 10pE. At 9pE, fellow paranormal broadcaster, author, cartoonist, and the world’s foremost authority on Shadow People and Hat Men, Heidi Hollis, stops by.
Stranded on a desert island, a young man yearns for objects from his past. A local from a small coastal town in England is found dead as the tide goes out. A Norwegian whaling ship is stranded in the Arctic, its crew threatened by mysterious forces. In the nineteenth century, a ship drifts in becalmed waters in the Indian Ocean, those on it haunted by their evil deeds. A surfer turned diver discovers there are things worse than drowning under the sea. Something from the sea is creating monsters on land.
In The Devil and the Deep: Horror Stories of the Sea, award-winning editor Ellen Datlow shares an all-original anthology of horror that plumbs the depths of the deep blue sea, with dripping wet new stories from New York Times bestsellers and award-winning authors such as Seanan McGuire, Christopher Golden, Stephen Graham Jones, and more.
