Hey everyone! Mark Ali here, creator of “Animated Nightmares” and founder of M Studios.
You won’t believe what I just listened to – two grown-ups named Bob and Karen spent an ENTIRE podcast episode dissecting my book! It’s kind of hilarious watching them freak out over the fact that I’m 12. Like, Bob kept mentioning he was still learning to ride a bike at my age? (Seriously Bob, maybe try taking off those training wheels sometime!)
The podcast review premieres on my channel on Sunday 22 December 2024. Check YouTube for viewing time in your area.
They actually did a pretty deep analysis of my monsters – R.I.B.S., VOF, and TOWCAN. Though I have to say, listening to them try to figure out “what could be going through this kid’s mind” while I created these creatures was pretty entertaining. Spoiler alert: I just think monster stories are cool!
The best part? They kept going on about how I’ve started my own media company while they’re still figuring out their podcast lighting. (It’s not that complicated, guys – there are these things called “lamps”…)
So if you want to hear two adults have an existential crisis while analyzing my horror novel, check out this episode of Deep Dive with Bob and Karen. Warning: Contains extensive use of the phrase “And he’s only twelve!” and multiple instances of shocked gasping.
P.S. Bob, Karen – thanks for the awesome review! Though next time, maybe we could talk about the actual story instead of my age? Just a thought from your friendly neighborhood pre-teen horror author! 😈
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go ask my mom if I can stay up late enough to finish writing my next nightmare…
