212 – Keith Rosson & Punk Rock Death Songs

Send us a textKeith Rosson is our first guest to be personally recommended by Stephen King!  And the praise doesn’t stop there. Keith’s Fever House was one of the biggest hits of 2023, and now he’s back with the sequel, The Devil By Name, which takes the contained punk-rock fury of the first book in a whole different, nation-spanning direction. This is an epic tale of occult magic, diabolical messages, punk rock, political machinations and, eventually, apocalypse. So there’s a lot to talk about. And I hope you enjoy the following. Especially the part where I crowbar Stevie Nicks into the conversation, because I’ve developed the world’s most belated obsession with her.   Enjoy. Other books mentioned: Mercy of the Tide (2017), by Keith RossonSpiral (1995), by Koji SuzukiThe Stand (1990), by Stephen KingKnockemstiff (2008), by Donald Ray PollockThe Low Desert: Gangster Stories (2021), by Scot GoldbergControlled Burn: Stories of Prison, Crime, and Men (2005), by Scott Wolven Support Talking Scared on Patreon Come talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Support the show
