Forewords by Gigi Saul Guerrero & Heather Buckley

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Joshua Millican dreamed of working for a legacy horror site like Dread Central since he began blogging in the early 2010s. He became a regular contributor in 2016, Managing Editor in 2018, and through sheer determination and fate, became the site's Editor in Chief in 2019. But the apex of Millican's career coincided with an unforeseen and unprecedented pandemic.

The Dreadful Years is more than just a collection of interviews with the biggest names in mainstream and independent horror. It's a snapshot of the genre immediately before and after everything changed forever. It's an extended moment that encapsulates the transition between decades, extraordinary political turmoil, and powerful social revolutions. The Dreadful Years is also something of a hybrid memoir as Millican reflects on his personal journeys, his successes and failures, the highs and lows of a life steeped in terror.
