Saddle up for a weird west week on Talking Scared. The start of a loose trilogy of sorts.

This first instalment features Alex Grecian, talking about his fantastical vision of the Old West (and East) in 2023’s Red Rabbit and the brand-new follow-up, Rose of Jericho.

We cover western inspirations, the melancholia of ghosts, Kansas legends and surprising witches. There’s also a nerdy little cryptid section thrown in there too cos you know I can’t resist.

It’s a charmer this week. With a glint in its eye.

Enjoy!
