    It's been a while and they're late again, but the Cutthroat Queens are back for the start to another exciting year of celebrating indie horror.

    Brett Mitchell Kent, Chelsea Pumpkins and Elton Skelter take a look back at the past year and reminisce about the best parts of 2023, and then look forward to what's to come.

    Pull up a chair and sit down with a meth wine, and get up close and personal with the Queens as they escort you, awkwardly, into the second season.

    For the final episode of the year, the Queens are thrilled to be joined by two indie booksellers with brick and mortar bookshops. Chelsea gets down and dirty with Chris, whose store Little Ghost Books can be found in Toronto, and Jenny Kiefer, who is the owner of Butcher Cabin Books in Louisville, Kentucky.

    We also get the insight on Jenny's up and coming novel, This Wretched Valley, and find out all the latest updates from the Little Ghost Press via Chris.

    Thanks to everyone who's listening - we hope you stick around for a new year of fun and horror, done the indie way.

  • Episode 8 - Cat Can Neither Confirm Nor Deny
    Sep 2 2023

    In this episode, Elton discusses queer horror movies, and in particular all the filth he's Swallowed (2022). Brett and Chelsea fall into the intrigue of found fiction with Archive of the Odd editor Cormack Baldwin, and author of their new release, Revenge ARC, Cat Voleur.

    Hear Chelsea shame young Baldwin for his youthful lifespan and "old soul". Hear Brett talk the life of a new editor. And hear Elton talk about his new collection of short horror stories, "Let's Get F**ked Up and Die".

    It's late again, but as queens, that is their prerogative.

    Let's get odd - you're welcome.
