Author Jason Pargin joins us to talk about "There Are No Giant Crabs in This Novel: A Novel of Giant Crabs", the latest installment in his New York Times-bestselling sci-fi horror "John Dies at the End" series. What was planned as a 30-45 minute conversation turned into a 2 hour opus full of so much good stuff, like what it's like to be an author in 2026, direct-to-video movies, and more, we had to split it into two parts!

Part two of our conversation with Jason will be out Thursday!

A child's premonition of disaster. All this, plus strange rains, a Chicago man who claims he can bribe God and the power of Lady Zeus, because this is Ghost Story Guys, after all.
