Author Luke Dumas is here! His latest horror novel, Nothing Tastes As Good , is a chilling and thrilling read that's sure to make any appreciator of the horror genre squirm. Largely centered around body-image trauma and insecurity, what makes this novel stand out is its means of conveying its horrors: modern weight loss drugs.
Luke and I had an awesome discussion on our love of the horror genre and how he immersed himself in the field, how to write an overweight character in fiction and the potential dangers of a "feel-good" story.
