I had a great time chatting with the Former Zombie-in-Chief from Mail Order Zombie, Derek M. Koch, on his new show Monster Kid Radio. Given our backgrounds, I bet you’re not surprised that the topic of discussion this time was my brand-new book, White Zombie— a novelization of the classic motion picture.
The interview stretches over two shows, MRK #46 and MKR #47 and covers both the film and the novel. We talk about the problems of adapting a well-known movie with iconic characters, recreating the film’s script, and all the ins and outs of turning a 70-year-old iconic motion picture into a compelling modern novel.
You can listen to Monster Kid Radio live online, or — better yet — you can subscribe to the show through iTunes or your other pod-catching software. (That way, you’ll get to hear not only me, but also people like my friend Paul McComas, who appears in the show following the White Zombie shows.)
