“Thomas Malloy has just witnessed the worst trauma a child can suffer. With nowhere to turn he seeks out the only man he feels can help him, The Scarlet Scrapper! The trouble is that Frank Hodge is no kind of hero, he just plays one on the radio. Hodge, a veteran who drinks too much, is dealing with his own inner demons.”
Leonard Apa joins the Podcast to talk about the creation, themes, and future of his debut novel, Introducing The Scarlet Scrapper, emphasizing a “literary noir” approach focused on character depth over simple action. He shares the influence of old-time radio serials and the mentorship of David Morrell, announces upcoming projects, and much more!
