Behind the Spooky #03 — Author Rob Fields on Building Strickfield

Author Rob Fields joins Henrique Couto to explore the creative process, the value of taking storytelling risks, and the construction of Strickfield’s interconnected Ohio horror universe.

Fields is one of Weekly Spooky’s most prolific fiction contributors and the writer behind many stories set in Strickfield. In this Behind the Spooky conversation, he and Henrique discuss how a recurring fictional town can support new characters, crimes, monsters, and consequences while still feeling like one recognizable world. The interview also considers the choices and risks involved in developing ambitious independent horror.

This creator-focused episode offers background for listeners who follow Strickfield across Weekly Spooky and want to understand the imagination behind its expanding mythology. It is also a conversation about friendship, sustained creative work, and the process of turning a strange Ohio setting into a living horror universe.
