Nicholas Grabowsky Rants About the Writing Life

Circa 2010, radio host Francy Weatherman captures horror writer Nicholas Grabowsky (Halloween IV, The Everborn, Red Wet Dirt) at home after a fun photo session and filming book promo reels. After some hard work and a little drink, a chain-smoking Nick in an interview-type situation talks about writing, life, and the writing life in the darkness of his bedroom in a manner almost like he's in a campfire setting. From-the-heart writing/publishing talk, though..

RECENT NEWS

Updated 2026 website! As you can see, or you wouldn't be here. We've had this domain (Downwarden.com, which is named after a novel titled "The Downwardens" that Nick still has yet to finish), and we've been on this site since probably 2002. It's had many incarnations over the years, but it was time for an overhaul and we hope you absolutely love the new user-friendly and responsive modern look. Our new improvements are fresh from the mold, and Nick has been obsessively keeping up with his publishing company Black Bed Sheet Books, as well as Black Bed Sheet Comics and Black Bed Sheet Records, but rest assured this page will be filled with more content as we go!
