Mercedes Yardley stops by to talk about Arterial Bloom, a horror short story anthology from Crystal Lake Publishing, which is her first foray into being an editor.

She talks about how she became the volume’s editor, her process in searching for stories to include in the anthology, what she looks for in stories that move her, and so much more. And please, no more stories about pizza for a while.

Arterial Bloom is available now, in ebook and trade paperback.
