Welcome to The Fear and Now! In this introductory episode I'll be going over a brief history of horror from Gothic literature to radio drama and what this history means for horror in fiction podcasting. We're talking Frankenstein, Grand-Guignol, Dr. Caligari, Bela Lugosi, War of the Worlds, zombies, radio hosts and much more!
