Ghost City: The Podcast

GCT Podcast | Dead Bodies, Haunted Dreams, and Paranormal Romance w/ Rayvn Salvador

Author Rayvn Salvador sits down with GCT Founder Tim Nealon to talk about why she cannot write a book without a dead body, the lady in black who stood on her childhood bed, and the night her sheets caught fire with no clear cause.
 
They dig into haunted houses, seances in Key West, trips to New Orleans with Bloody Mary, and a full conversation with a ghost named Ralph in Bonaventure Cemetery. Rayvn explains how her real life hauntings feed straight into her paranormal romantic thrillers and romcoms, why she loves true crime, and what she thinks about the idea of a serial killer gene.
 
Tim pitches unhinged story ideas on air, including a "Dexter" style code for killing and a paranormal romcom about Edgar Allan Poe trying to function in the modern world. They also talk about reading vs audiobooks, why fewer people pick up books, and what new writers should do if they want to tell their own strange stories.
 
If you care about ghosts, books, and the future of storytelling, this one is for you.
