    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.
