321: The Breathing Method with Jason Pargin

About this episode

Author Jason Pargin stops by to discuss the latest installment of his John Dies At The End series titled There Are No Giant Crabs In This Novel: A Novel of Giant Crabs as well as the undersung Stephen King novella The Breathing Method, published in Different Seasons alongside Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, The Body (Stand By Me), and Apt Pupil. We talk about the realities of the publishing world, the largely negative impact of A.I., and then dive into this particularly interesting world that King cooked up where a bunch of stuffy elites visit a mystical New York gentlemen's club and tell spooky stories. Would King ever revisit this space? We have some insight on that, too! There Are No Giant Crabs In This Novel is available right now in e-book and audiobook form and the hardback is on track to hit shelves in early December.
