Unshelved Authors' Presents

Every great story is haunted by reality. Welcome to Unshelved Authors' Presents, a podcast for writers, myth-lovers, and rebel intellectuals who aren't afraid of the dark and messy world of writing.

Hosted by indie novelist C. S. Hendricks, this show pulls back the curtain on the creative process by exploring the unsettling inspirations behind fiction. From the terrifying lore of ancient mythology and the chilling facts of true crime, to the deeply personal journey of Christian deconstruction, we dissect how real-world unraveling turns into captivating storytelling.

Pull a book off the shelf, pour a fresh brew, and join us for unscripted author interviews, subversive book reviews, and deep dives into the margin notes of history. New episodes drop Tuesdays & Thursdays.
