Light & Shadow is a podcast about the complex themes presented in the horror genre.

Much like the campfire stories of old, horror takes us into the dark corners of the world. It challenges us to face reality and confront our fears. It shows us what lives in the shadows so we can learn how to appreciate the light. This beautiful balance of good and evil intrigues and inspires.

I’m your host, Nichole

I’m a graphic designer by day and horror nerd by night. I am a life-long lover of Halloween and all things macabre. Some people find beauty in art. Some people find beauty in literature. I find beauty in the horror genre.
