The Dreadful Years

Forewords by Gigi Saul Guerrero & Heather BuckleyIt was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Joshua Millican dreamed of working for a legacyhorror site like Dread Central since he began blogging in the early 2010s. He became a regularcontributor in 2016, Managing Editor in 2018, and through sheer determination and fate, became thesite's Editor in Chief in 2019. But the apex of Millican's career coincided with an unforeseen andunprecedented pandemic.The Dreadful Years is more than just a collection of interviews with the biggest names in mainstreamand independent horror. It's a snapshot of the genre immediately before and after everything changedforever. It's an extended moment that encapsulates the transition between decades, extraordinarypolitical turmoil, and powerful social revolutions. The Dreadful Years is also something of a hybridmemoir as Millican reflects on his personal journeys, his successes and failures, the highs and lows of alife steeped in terror.
