Ep. 39: Benjamin Percy & Helen Atsma

The seventh book from Benjamin Percy is the terrifying THE DARK NET. He tells James what he's learned writing comics, how he juggles his projects, why his sister slept with the lights on into her 20s (spoiler: it's Ben's fault), and how he overcame being a closeted genre fan. Plus Percy's editor and editorial director of fiction at Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Helen Atsma.
