Just started listening…. this guy is a little ray of sunshine

N.M. Janice.

I like this guy. Will check out his work.

Moz

I Just Want to See the Boy Happy

Matt

BEE is the man!!

richard owain roberts

am going to listen on my run. will say more later, after my run.

I read the Frog King, fresh out of grad school. A little over ten years later—i worked for a prestigious publishing company (ND, I only landed the job because I was dating the grand daughter of the founder) I was so disappointed. The book ruined it for me.

Jonathan Davis

Antidepressants evidently haven’t done shit for this generation. Everyone has a “mental disorder” now.

Craig

Had never heard of this guy but bought his “American Narcissist” book last night. 1/3rd of the way thru and it’s pretty entertaining.

I liked this guy. Even though I have no interest in the sort of stuff I am assuming he writes based on the description I'll check it out. I got over the shock lit stuff when I published that sort of thing way back and now just cringe at my own work. But every once in a while someone comes around that puts a new spin on it that can be compelling.

R. M.

Great guest, great conversation. I enjoyed what he had to say and I’m definitely going to check out his writing. Bret, you do you, but I am noticing this fixation that you’re “old” is bordering on obsessive. It’s getting repetitive and distracting. It’s the opposite end of the cringe spectrum from people that constantly downplay that they’re not old. I get it, you’re going through it right now and leaning into It is better than being in denial but I think there’s a balance to be struck which I am sure you will find. Aging with grace doesn’t get enough credit these days. It’s safe to say none of us are thinking of your age until you bring it up, and then even when you bring it up, it’s overly dramatic. You’re not 80 and on Geritol for fucks sake. Did you trade your iphone in for a Jitterbug yet? Where is the AARP coupon code for this pod? Chandler dodged a bullet with Katie, but is clearly still under her spell. You can’t be an artist and have a partner that’s censoring/editing your art. Find someone that respects your autonomy as an artist. As always, appreciate you, Adam, and the pod!

Christopher Ward

It’s truly shocking to me when I hear so many of Bret’s guests (of a certain age) talk about all the prescription drugs they’ve been on since they were kids. The shit doesn’t work! If you don’t have any consistency as a child and your parents are going through a messy divorce: that’s an external problem and not fixed by anti-anxiety meds!

Cowboy and his books

This is a great episode And very eye opening about his books

Thomas Zimmerman

Hi fellow BEE listeners. Since this episode is about indie publishing, I’m going to take the plunge and promote my new novel STONE RIBS, now available on Amazon. There is a murderer loose in the suburbs of Kernsville, Maryland, but he isn’t targeting humans. He’s taking their pets, testing the limits of his cruelty, a pre-serial killer. When the authorities do nothing, a group of adolescents conspire to hunt him down. STONE RIBS by Thomas Zimmerman is a tightly crafted thriller, a boy and his dog story set in a modern America that has lost all innocence.

Maxwell Rinehart

I got really bummed out listening to this episode for some reason…existential dread is a son of a bitch.

Oscar

Great guest and great convo

D Michael Hardy

Really enjoyed this episode and guest, and I've already ordered a couple of his books.

“Did you trade your iphone in for a Jitterbug yet? Where is the AARP coupon code for this pod?”…Now that’s funny! Thank you, I laughed out loud.

I know, it’s embarrassing- but at least I didn’t talk about my horror short story podcast, www.sleepisforsheep.com or the insane story I’m releasing this weekend set in the San Fernando valley porn industry!

Benjamin Wayne

This was a very good episode. I feel for Morrison regarding his illness and really hope he prevails.

Poetical Gore

I read a sample of his book and I was like, oh, this sounds like this other guy I read from Eraserhead press.... looks like I was spot on. Eraserhead has so many fake reviews on amazon especially for that Sh!tburger book guy.

David Willis

Really enjoying this guest. Smart and very like able. I shall kindle his new book. I hope his health issues work out, stay strong brother.

Darren

Great episode! I enjoyed hearing about the publishing days of old. I'm excited to hear about The Frog King movie project script coming back into play. Hopefully, it gets made!

GC

Good chat with an interesting guy. Won't be reading the books, not my thing, and it would have been interesting to hear more about how he fits having a day job around writing and what sober life is like. Oh, and Bret will *hate* Constellations - hate it!

Shawn Kilroy

So good! Thoughtful, concise, entertaining answers, especially to the last question. Thank You

Peter Guzzo

Good episode. Authors make the best guests IMO.

Patrick

“Shut up, Adam!” That was awesome. 😂

R. M.

I hope Bret talks MEGALOPOLIS this week: Is he excited? Will he see it in theaters? IMAX? (IMAX has made a global commitment to show the film) Does he think the studios are really salty, jealous, and trying to sabotage the release because Coppola self-funded and they wont be seeing any of the $$$ if it's successful? LONGLEGS also looks potentially good. The trailer is really good. Maika Monroe is a solid actress. She was great recently in GOD IS A BULLET. I wonder if it has dawned on Bret with all this talk about how ancient he is now (Cryptkeeper cackle) that 60 qualifies for the senior discount at some theaters.

Thomas Rankin

Cracked up at the Bizarrocon story

Tim Molloy

Started reading Chandler’s book with no expectations - laughed very hard within the first few pages. Fans of BEE will definitely like it. Almost done and it’s terrific. Very dark and funny.

Something tells me BEE will watch Megalopolis, but not on an IMAX screen, and not til it's $4.99 on rental services

Tommy Stronach

This guy was a little too hung up on ex girlfriends. He was pining over a chick he dated only seven months?! As Don Corleone said, “you can act like a man!” Interesting guy though. I wish him well.

Liska

Great episode. Really enjoying the podcast.

Laura B. Farrugia

See, I just love Bret but it always intrigues me when he decides to pick comfort over real experiences (going to a bookstore, a movie..). Doesn't it contradict the nostalgia of the "true experience" he so fondly talks about in these episodes? Great episode!

Clint Flicker

Managed to read 80 pages of American Narcissususus. Reads like a reworking of the Informers for a Mills and Boon publication. Might appeal more to my mother or wife.

Joe Stallone

I love it when Bret interviews, or talks about, a writer I never heard of, and I am compelled to read them after. Great interview, Bret.

Otis Bateman

It sucks that Morrison wants to run away so hard from his crowning achievement Dead Inside. He wears his disdain for that book like a badge of honor. Saying he “out Oppenheimer’s Oppenheimer,” by trying to distance himself from it… I still plan on dedicating my necrophile book to him once I finish it. I’m grinning already knowing how bad he will loathe that lol.
