  • Boundless Grotesque: Exploring Dark Truths with Peter Caffrey

    Boundless Grotesque: Exploring Dark Truths with Peter Caffrey
    2025/11/04

    Peter Caffrey joins the show to discuss his novel, The Ballad of Seven Bastards.

    We dive into the splatter western genre and how it explores moral ambiguity and violence.

    Peter shares how the Western setting exposes truths about manipulation and greed that modern stories can’t.

    He describes his struggle with structure and how a unique approach helped bring the novel together.

    We talk about origins, voice, and rewriting until the story feels right.

    Peter discusses his decision to shelve the book while the genre surged in popularity, focusing on authenticity over trends.

    We discuss his characters—none truly redeemable, but all deeply human.

    We explore the necessity of grotesque honesty in fiction and why avoiding standard horror tropes keeps his writing surprising.

    Peter unpacks the role of humor, both as a defense and an ingredient for deepening dread.

    He shares darkly comic stories and how real-life struggles with illness shaped his outlook and fiction.

    Peter talks about compartmentalization, survival, and how his experience with cancer changed his attitude toward suffering, both real and fictional.

    He explains how fiction, unlike journalism, creates individual truth for the reader.

    The episode ends with thoughts on individuality, creativity, and the joys of making readers uncomfortable in the best way.

  • Into the Woods and Behind Closed Doors: Danny Stygion Discusses "One Last Trip" and "Dominatrices"

    Into the Woods and Behind Closed Doors: Danny Stygion Discusses "One Last Trip" and "Dominatrices"
    2025/10/21

    In this immersive episode of The Dark Mind Podcast, Vincent welcomes independent filmmaker Danny Stygion back to the show for a deep dive into his latest projects: the brutal horror thriller "One Last Trip" and the provocative documentary "Dominatrices." Stygion shares the personal experiences and influences behind his films, from tense camping trips in the Sam Houston National Forest to nuanced explorations of BDSM subculture. The conversation traverses the challenges of micro-budget indie filmmaking, the psychological dynamics of survival horror, and the responsibility of portraying marginalized communities with accuracy and empathy.


    Listeners will enjoy behind-the-scenes anecdotes about casting, improvisation, and dealing with real life tensions during filming, while also discovering how Stygion balances fear, humor, and authenticity in his storytelling. The episode journeys from the raw wilderness of cinematic horror to the ritualistic environments of professional dungeons, featuring stories both shocking and insightful from Stygion’s featured dominatrices. Finally, the discussion spotlights Stygion’s upcoming works on haunted Galveston locales, synthesizer obsessives, and a modern take on the Faust legend, promising more adventures in the darker edges of art and life.
