Rami Ungar The Writer

I just posted my plans on here, and then some things happened that threw wrenches in those plans. However, they’re the kind of wrenches that I’m actually kind of happy got thrown into the plans. And, with new plans comes new announcements to make. So, let’s get to it!

Update on the Radio Interview and Radio Play

Last month, I told you guys that I had been interviewed by the host/producer for a program of a local radio station, Doug Dangler. That interview will be appearing at some point on Sunday, October 20, 2024 on the website for Doug’s show, The Craft (you can find it HERE). An excerpt from said interview will air on WCBE 90.5 here in Columbus at 8 PM EST (you can check out the station HERE).

In addition, Doug does a Halloween show every year where students adapt short stories into radio plays, and my short story “Hannah” from Hannah and Other Stories will be one of the adapted short stories. According to the update today, the show will premiere on October 31st, 2024 at 7 PM EST.

I’m really excited, as this is the first time a story of mine has been adapted into a different medium (I don’t count audio book or podcasted readings, as those are just a form of reading using your ears). I hope you’ll join me as “Hannah” makes her debut as a radio play, and I’ll be sure to publish a post the day of so you’re reminded and can check it out when it airs.

Meanwhile, I wonder if I can convince any friends of mine to sit in my condo with me and listen to it live…?

I Have a New Collection on the Way

After Thursday’s blog post, I realized that I wasn’t satisfied with writing three more stories and then editing everything I’ve been working on this past year. To me, that felt like too much of a delay in getting these stories out to you. And I’ve been planning on putting out one or two more collections, anyway (once all the stories within them had been given a couple of rounds of editing, of course).

So, I decided that, instead of waiting until those three stories are written, I’d instead edit some of the ones I’ve already written, put them in one of the collections, and then put out that collection!

Now, I don’t have many details to share right now, other than the collection will have some original stuff and some previously printed stuff; it’ll have a theme; I’ll be self-publishing this time around; and it probably won’t come out until some time next year. But before all that, there are two stories I need to edit, as well as a few I want to give a quick look over before I put them out into the world.

After I’ve done that, I can start on things like a title and a cover and a release date.

Until then, my Followers of Fear, you can read any of my other works by checking out my Book Links and Excerpts page, which is linked through the button below. From strange gods and plant/human hybrids to Mafia-hunting serial killers and carnivorous horses, I have something for every horror fan. So if you’d like to support me, or you’re just looking for something spooky to read, my oeuvre is a good place to start!

Also, if you could leave a review, that would be a huge help to me and to future readers as well.

Until next time, my Followers of Fear, good night and pleasant nightmares!
