"The Hideous Book of Hidden Horrors" is a short story collection and the first publication from Bad Hand Books.

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

Step into the world of chills and thrills with Doug Murano. Murano is a Bram Stoker Award winning editor and founder and CEO of Bad Hand Books.

He discusses his publishing company and what draws him to horror, dark fantasy and crime fiction.

What's the appeal of stories that send shivers down spines? What lessons can one find in the pages of a bone-chilling read? And what are the dangers of censoring books that some may find disturbing?

Murano and Lori Walsh dive into it all.
