Andrew W. Clark was a published poet before he became a published novelist, but in his creative practice, the writing is often born from the same place. Matt Peiken first interviewed Andrew about seven years ago about his poetry. Now they're talking on the heels of his new psychological horror novel, "Hollow Folk."

Andrew and Matt get deep into how he chooses his stories and how he tells them, along with the practice of developing character voices. They also talk about his centuries-deep Appalachian roots on how they find their way into his writing.

Whether you’re already a fan of his work or simply someone who appreciates deep dives into the craft of writing, there’s something here for you. The launch event for "Hollow Folk" Oct. 16 at Story Parlor.
