Today on the @Barkercast we have the great pleasure to have with us as a very special guest: he rocked out with the band Chase as composer, musician and singer,\\xa0 he\\u2019s the screenwriter of Hellraiser2,3,4\\xa0 and Wishmaster, as well as comics and TV, author of books like Morningstar, or The Vampires of Summer, Big Thunder and Moontown, featured in several anthologies like Hellbound Hearts.\\xa0 Twice nominated for a British Fantasy Award, and one half of the Rolling Darkness Revue\\xa0along with Glen Hirshberg, please welcome Peter Atkins. (Author\\u2019s blog link! Click it!)

In this episode we talk about Rolling Darkness Revue (2015 poster above), Hellraiser \\xa0II, III and IV, Wishmaster, his books, and several other projects and stories from \\u201cbehind the scenes\\u201d Hollywood. Over the years, Peter Atkins has been a screenwriter, author, occasional actor, musician, you name it. This episode was certainly a very personal favorite of mine so far in our 3 and a half years of activity, and I\\u2019m sure it will rank in the top 5 best episodes with a guest that we\\u2019ve done at the @Barkercast. Peter Atkins is an extremely interesting conversationalist and a real treat to have for a couple of hours. We are very happy with the time he spent patiently answering our questions and, like he says \\u201cshooting the shit\\u201d and we hope to have him again in the near future. Pete is a fantastic author and we urge you to find and read his books Morningstar, Big Thunder and Moontown, as well as his short stories that have been published in various anthologies.

This episode is also being published on his birthday (November 2nd), so please be sure to comment with messages for \\xa0Pete and \\xa0we\\u2019ll do our best in forwarding them to him, or send him comments on his blog.
