Richard Dansky joined me on Office Hours to talk about his new novel, Ghosts of Smoke and Flame, a horror-comedy he describes as “Good Omens meets The Amityville Horror.” We talked about the book’s mix of ghosts, angels, demons, grief, and humor, plus the local writing community and upcoming events.

Then we shifted into Rich’s longtime home turf: video games. We discussed the shutdown of Red Storm, the wave of layoffs across the industry, and why so much hard-earned creative talent keeps getting tossed aside in pursuit of short-term gains. It’s a conversation about storytelling, reinvention, and what creative industries lose when they stop valuing the people who make the work.
