Join the Zombie Book Club as we dive into the haunting and thought-provoking world of Nailah King, author and founder of The Content Witches. In this episode, Nailah shares her journey of writing stories centered on haunted women pushed to the brink, blending supernatural elements with powerful narratives about identity, survival, and societal challenges. From her self-publishing adventures to her creation of the Black Horroritage Challenge, Nailah offers insights into the importance of diverse voices in literature and the joy of building creative communities.
We explore the intersection of Caribbean folklore, Black women’s experiences, and the allure of zombie and ghost stories. Nailah also gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming Swamp Horror Novelette and reflects on the challenges of shelving a gothic novel. Whether you’re a fan of horror, writing, or simply love a good post-apocalyptic fantasy, this episode is a celebration of storytelling, resilience, and the power of reclaiming narratives.
