Welcome to The Night Crew Podcast — where we shine a light on all the things that go bump in the night.

From bloodthirsty vampires and savage werewolves to ancient legends and modern myths, this show dives deep into the world of monsters. Along the way, I’ll also be sitting down with horror authors to talk about their latest books, careers, creative influences, and—of course—their favorite horror creatures.

But what exactly is The Night Crew?

It’s more than a podcast. The Night Crew is also the title of my monster-hunting book series. It follows a gritty team of supernatural hunters who take down the things that lurk in the shadows before they get to us.

If monster hunting is your thing, join the crew—grab a copy of the book and become part of the hunt.
