About the Show
A show exploring horror and gothic poetry and fiction, as well as the spooky and polarizing artists and writers who make them possible. The official podcast of Death Wish Poetry Magazine and Demon Land Books.
King Loke is the editor and founder of Death Wish Poetry Magazine, a novelist and poet, and rules over the Demon Toast Podcast with an iron fist. Dwelling in Philadelphia, he focuses on gothic and moody writing, striving to maintain a platform for writers who share his tastes in art. His father is Odin and his uncle is Satan, and how that works out he has no idea, and doesn't care. Connect with him on Instagram, and read his Demon Land novels, all of which can be found for purchase at Demonlandbooks.com.
Howdy! I'm Jack, I'm 22 and a university student majoring in professional communications. I have a deep love for creative writing, zoology, cryptozoology, horror, and the paranormal, though truly that list doesn't get at the half of it. Research is my muse and she proves herself to be quite the clingy sort. Current projects include a series of short horror stories which are consistently neglected in favor of hobbyist writing and art projects.
Ericka is a recent NMSU graduate with a degree in English Language, Literature, and Culture and a minor in Creative Writing. She harbors a deep love and appreciation for various forms of literature, especially poetry and horror/thriller-adjacent writing; she believes that words hold infinite power and the unique ability to connect people from all walks of life through similar experiences and feelings. She invites you to sit with us and explore these events and the emotions they illicit, as well as the intricacies and implications of creating these pieces, the representation of different (and often misrepresented) communities, as well as the continual impact these mediums have on them over time in meaningful and engaging discussion.
