About this episode

David Simmons discusses his novel ERADICATOR and his upcoming short story collection FETTY ON THE SWITCHES.

David Simmons  is a genre unto himself. We talk about his unsettling novel ERADICATOR--a white-knuckle book that is part AMERICAN PSYCHO, part THE FLY, and all Simmons. We also get into his upcoming short story collection FETTY ON THE SWITCHES, his creative process, why Baltimore is such rich terrain for fiction, and much, much more. This will be on the free feed next week. David’s linktree Pre-order  FETTY ON THE SWITCHES
