    Lauren Lee Smith: The Night Pool, Feminist Horror, and Forgotten History
    2026/08/11

    Author Lauren Lee Smith joins The Dark Mind to discuss her debut novel, The Night Pool.

    Set in Gold Rush-era Coloma, California, the novel follows three women confronting human brutality, supernatural forces, and the histories buried beneath the mythology of the American West.

    Lauren discusses transforming the land itself into a source of possession horror and using monsters as vessels for grief, rage, and resistance.

    She also examines the destruction of Nisenan communities, violence against Chinese immigrants, and the challenge of writing experiences that have been neglected by the historical record.

    The conversation explores her severe postpartum depression and anxiety, the personal origins of The Playroom Ghost, her rural Northern California childhood, and the horror films that shaped her imagination.

    Lauren also reveals that The Night Pool has been optioned, discusses the screenplay adaptation, previews her Mojave vampire novel, and explains why she believes human intention cannot be replicated by artificial intelligence.

    The Night Pool will be published by Blackstone Publishing on August 25, 2026.

    Kailee Pedersen on Opera, Horror, and the Cost of Perfection
    2026/08/04
    Kailee Pedersen returns to discuss her new psychological novel, The Minimalist.The story follows gifted composer Mia Voss as she inherits her late mentor’s unfinished final composition and confronts the destructive legacy surrounding it.Kailee explores how classical music, repetition, perfectionism, and artistic scrutiny shaped the novel’s structure and psychological intensity.We also discuss Asian American adoptee identity, assimilation, grief, self-harm, and the mythology surrounding artistic genius.Kailee reflects on writing without an outline, deleting half a manuscript, balancing revision with instinct, and knowing when creative work is finally complete.The conversation also touches on opera, software engineering, video games, and her research for a forthcoming Western about a Chinese American family in Hell’s Canyon.KAILEE PEDERSENOfficial Websitehttps://kaileepedersen.com/Eventshttps://kaileepedersen.com/events/Presshttps://kaileepedersen.com/press/Amazon Author Pagehttps://www.amazon.com/Kailee-Pedersen/e/B0C7NPQ67LGoodreads Author Pagehttps://www.goodreads.com/author/list/18460978.Kailee_PedersenSOCIAL MEDIAInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/kailee_pedersen/Blueskyhttps://bsky.app/profile/kaileepedersen.bsky.socialThreadshttps://www.threads.net/@kailee_pedersenXhttps://x.com/KaileePedersenTHE MINIMALISTOfficial Book Pagehttps://kaileepedersen.com/the-minimalist/Macmillanhttps://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250328274/theminimalist/Amazon Hardcoverhttps://www.amazon.com/Minimalist-Kailee-Pedersen/dp/1250328276Amazon Kindlehttps://www.amazon.com/Minimalist-Novel-Kailee-Pedersen-ebook/dp/B0FMSDQXYZBarnes and Noblehttps://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-minimalist-kailee-pedersen/1148028599Bookshop.orghttps://bookshop.org/p/books/the-minimalist-a-novel-kailee-pedersen/74a63d1b17d3a226Apple Bookshttps://books.apple.com/us/book/the-minimalist/id6751198732Google Play Bookshttps://play.google.com/store/books/details/Kailee_Pedersen_The_Minimalist?id=fnF-EQAAQBAJAudiblehttps://www.audible.com/pd/The-Minimalist-Audiobook/B0GTX94PVDPowell’s Bookshttps://www.powells.com/book/9781250328274Books-A-Millionhttp://www.booksamillion.com/product/9781250328274Targethttps://www.target.com/p/the-minimalist-by-kailee-pedersen-hardcover/-/A-1005450482Signed Copieshttps://murderbooks.com/pedersenGoodreadshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/240019985-the-minimalistSACRIFICIAL ANIMALSOfficial Book Pagehttps://kaileepedersen.com/sacrificial-animals/Macmillanhttps://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250328243/sacrificialanimals/Titan Books UKhttps://titanbooks.com/71950-sacrificial-animals/Amazon Hardcoverhttps://www.amazon.com/Sacrificial-Animals-Novel-Kailee-Pedersen/dp/1250328241Amazon Kindlehttps://www.amazon.com/Sacrificial-Animals-Novel-Kailee-Pedersen-ebook/dp/B0CGRY74QKBarnes and Noblehttps://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/sacrificial-animals-kailee-pedersen/1143881197Bookshop.orghttps://bookshop.org/p/books/sacrificial-animals-a-novel-kailee-pedersen/3c7d99648106284dApple Books Ebookhttps://books.apple.com/us/book/sacrificial-animals/id6476883510Apple Books Audiobookhttps://books.apple.com/us/audiobook/sacrificial-animals/id1707863330Google Play Ebookhttps://play.google.com/store/books/details/Kailee_Pedersen_Sacrificial_Animals?id=BlHTEAAAQBAJGoogle Play Audiobookhttps://play.google.com/store/audiobooks/details/Sacrificial_Animals_A_Novel?id=AQAAAECSQ3gD-MAudiblehttps://www.audible.com/pd/Sacrificial-Animals-Audiobook/B0CKM6BMJ1Libro.fmhttps://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781250349880-sacrificial-animalsPowell’s Bookshttps://www.powells.com/book/9781250328243Books-A-Millionhttp://www.booksamillion.com/product/9781250328243Goodreadshttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/195790677-sacrificial-animalsSUPPORT THE DARK MIND PODCASThttps://www.patreon.com/c/thedarkmindpodcast

  • T. R. Napper: AI, Oligarchs, and the God of Technology

    T. R. Napper: AI, Oligarchs, and the God of Technology
    2026/07/28

    T. R. Napper returns to The Dark Mind Podcast to discuss his new collection, This Machine Kills Billionaires.


    Anchored by the award-winning novella The Hidden God, the collection explores artificial intelligence, concentrated wealth, corporate power, inequality, and the dangers of allowing oligarchs to control transformative technology.


    Napper discusses the possibility of AI becoming a new religion, whether a benevolent artificial intelligence could still become a tyrant, and the moral consequences of giving any person or machine absolute power.


    The conversation also examines why younger generations are rejecting generative AI, the deterioration of higher education, billionaire isolation, the difference between human creativity and algorithmic imitation, and why cyberpunk is no longer a distant future.


    This Machine Kills Billionaires also includes the connected stories Highway Requiem, Burned Like Coal, and Jack’s Fine Dining.
