Horror author Craig DiLouie stops by to talk about his newest novel, The Children of Red Peak, and building horror from the terror, in this instance following the downward spiral of the members of a cult.

Craig talks about the important elements needed in building a tense psychological horror and how each character may react will influence the story, his research into the psychology of belief and delusion, especially how these can influence how some people become attracted to cults, the path toward destructive cult behaviors, and much more.
