Show Notes
On the first official episode of 2024, we talked with David Simmons about his book “Ghosts of East
Baltimore.: David was delightful. Worm, fresh out of jail, tries to make a little money to get back on his feet,
and make it back to the halfway house before his 9 pm curfew. But what should be a simple drop-off, spirals
into a nightmare. Worm is faced with a number of obstacles like Greek gangsters, gimps, mecha suits, wild
drugs, and more. This feels like the perfect cross-genre book written for me especially with the clone
conspiracy theory sprinkled in.
Ghosts of East Baltimore is a wild ride and the perfect mix of elegant yet literary cosmic hood horror with
textured prose that not many could pull off. Rich with history, and a deep-seated love for Baltimore, this is a
fantastic crime fiction debut.
