247 – Daniel Kraus and Sentenced to Death
Daniel Kraus has never lacked for ambition in his fiction – but Angel Down may be the most audacious horror book of the year. It’s the story of broken men and a fallen angel in the trenches of the First World War.
Oh … and it’s told in one long 300 page sentence. Cos
Daniel can.
It’s not a gimmick, nor pretentiousness. No, this week,
you’ll hear how the medium is very much the message. As well as our
conversation about angels in horror, capturing the particular nightmare of 1914, and all the practical challenge that come with this single-sentence attempt.
It’s an inspiring episode.
Enjoy!
