Another interview brought to you from the good people at The Dragon Page podcasts. Justin Gustainis joins us to chat about his new dark fantasy novel Black Magic Woman. He tells us about Quincey Morris and Libby Chastain, and the investigation of an ancient curse on a family, and the larger scope that the story takes on as it progresses.

We talk about crafting a story of this type, and writing the types of stories he enjoys reading, some of his other story influences and more.
