Join Nailah King, an indie, crime & horror author, as she hosts interviews in-depth round table discussions, genre deep dives, and a behind-the-scenes looks at her own writing, all delivered with her signature unserious vibe.
The show features BIPOC guests who work, write and create in the horror, crime, and thriller genres.
This show doesn't take itself too seriously, and we like to have fun and a laugh while talking about darker things.
I am a Canadian horror and crime writer now living in Scotland, writing grim stories about haunted Black women pushed to the brink. My work has appeared or is forthcoming in the Feels Zine, GUTS Magazine, The Humber Literary Review, Transition Magazine, This Magazine, Carousel Magazine and DEAD PRETTY. My short story "The Dead Last List" was one of the winning entries of Night Terror Magazine's 2024 Horror for the Holidays short story competition.
Are you a BIPOC creative, writer, or publishing pro who wants to be on the show? I'd love to have you!
“I really enjoyed my conversation with Nailah on Talk Your Lit. From the first step of scheduling a time slot, the process was really seamless and I felt supported throughout. Nailah is an engaged and insightful interviewer who also knows when to bring in a bit of levity to the conversation. As a writer and horror fan herself, Nailah approaches the interview with a wealth of knowledge and care for fellow BIPOC creatives. If you're looking for the opportunity to have a frank and illuminating conversation about topics ranging from the challenges marginalized authors face to the weird sh*t you google while writing a spooky novel, I highly recommend Talk Your Lit.”

“Nailah came with truly thoughtful and deeply considered questions. She had me really stopping and thinking a few times. And she illuminated some aspects of my book's themes I hadn't even considered myself. To me, this is the best kind of interview; Nailah didn't even give me a chance to rehash answers I've given in other interviews because her questions were so nuanced and specific to her reading. I absolutely would recommend doing this podcast. You will come away with as much to think about as listeners.”
