It’s a week of sadness and hilarity on Talking Scared.

The happy stuff comes courtesy of Sarah Pinborough, author of Weird domestic gothics, like Behind Her Eyes and the brand new ghost story (or is it?) We Live Here Now.

We talk about confounding expectations, about the rules of the psychological thriller, about the British horror scene then and now, and about the dark truth that we all lie to each other.

The sadness... well you’ll hear that in the outro if you want to stick around for it. If not, no worries at all.

Enjoy!
