Ryan's debut book, SAINT'S BLOOD, is now available for purchase. To celebrate our co-host's publishing day, Cass chats with him 1:1 about the book's horror, its torture plotline, the role his Mexican ancestry played in the story, & more! We keep it spoiler-free (for the most part), you can find a synopsis of the terror that awaits readers in SAINT'S BLOOD below.
A deranged family attempts to harvest the blood of a professor in this voice-driven darkly comic philosophical horror novella. Saint’s Blood is a metaphor for the way mega-corporations and political polarization suck the blood and will out of people.
