🎙️ USDN Podcast: “Memoirs of the Morbid: The Orange Edition” — An Evening with Grant Lankard & The Ghoulmaster

Step inside the crypt with The Chairman of The United States Department of Nerds (USDN Podcast) as he sits down with Grant Lankard, creator of Beowulf, League of Cryptids, and the haunting horror anthology Memoirs of the Morbid.

This episode dives deep into The Orange Edition — the latest volume in Lankard’s macabre series inspired by classic 1950s EC horror. Expect twisted morality tales, dark humor, and ghoulish satire, all introduced by the delightfully dreadful host, The Ghoulmaster.

💀 In this chillingly fun interview, we cover:

The eerie origins of Memoirs of the Morbid and its EC horror inspiration
How Grant transitioned from graphic design to full-time indie comics
A behind-the-scenes look at The Orange Edition — including stories like Cubicle of the Damned, Bubble, Fiona’s Fantasy Forest, and Invaders
The incredible creative team: Brian K. Morris, Will Conway, Alberto Pessoa, Samir Simao, and David Schuler
The challenges (and joys) of creating a modern horror anthology in 2025
Tips for indie creators ready to bring their own nightmares to life
