Talking Scared goes live!

In April I was invited to chair a conversation between Michelle Paver and Ally Wilkes at the Oxford Literary Festival. I duly leapt on a train and bundled my way there – to ask the two survival horror queens about their stories of haunting and isolation in the coldest parts of the world.

We talk about handling the Victorian attitudes of exploration horror, the unique properties of fear in the vast open, and how their law careers led them to write such wild stories.

Also, we hear quite a lot of juicy info about their forthcoming jungle horror novels.

Thanks to the Oxford Literary Festival for the invitation.
