In the intro for the show, we talk about having the “Weird, Wild, and Wacky” on the program, and this week we literally have two of the three. This week, we celebrate Halloween but discussing The Weird West, which is a genre of storytelling that is basically The Wild West crosses with either supernatural and/or sci-fi elements. Ray guns at the O.K. Corral, vampires in Deadwood, or time-traveling zombies in the Black Hills of South Dakota. We are going to focus on the monsters bit, and we have the perfect guy to discuss the Weird West: Author David Boop who specializes in supernatural tales of the Wild West. We will talk about his book “The Drowned Horse Chronicle“, as well as his time as a professional Beetlejuice impersonator. We will also cover why cowboys on a T-Rex inspired him to become a writer, and where his love a folklore came from.
