251 – Kailee Pedersen and The Silence of the Foxes
Ready for some rough rural Gothic?
Kailee Pederson’s Sacrifical Animals was one of my top horror novels of 2024. I missed Kailee first time round, but now the book is out in paperback, I jumped at the chance to speak to her.
I was NOT prepared for how highbrow this would go though. From a story about toxic families, American Gothic and Chinese mythology, we found our way to opera, classic Latin texts, and more.
But we also talk about violence and sex and evil. So it really does cover all the bases.
Enjoy!

Wuthering Heights (1847), by Emily Bronte
