  • Horror, Intelligence, and Technology with Alma Katsu
    Mar 17 2026

    What do you get when you combine an intelligence analyst, a technology futurist, and a horror novelist? You get the one and only Alma Katsu! In this episode, we discuss everything from the looming threat of generative AI to exploring history through a horror lens.

    Alma is a New York Times bestselling author, and her books have been nominated for and won multiple prestigious awards including the Stoker, Goodreads Readers Choice, and International Thriller Writers, and appeared on numerous Best Books lists. Her book THE HUNGER, which is a reimagining of the story of the Donner Party (and it’s also the book I read on my honeymoon), was named one of NPR’s 100 favorite horror stories. As if that weren’t enough, she also has over 30 years of experience as an intelligence professional at CIA and NSA.
