Clap your hands twice if you believe in Catriona Ward!

Cat is back on the show this week, to talk Nowhere Burning – a horror novel informed by everything from Peter Pan (it has its own Tinkerbell), to certain disgraced megastars, and even the CIA checklist on what constitutes a cult!

It’s a lot, and we talk about all of it, as well as various weird mysteries, the grimmest cult we’ve ever heard of, and Cat’s various brushes with fame over the years.

This little precise may have you thinking WTF? – but the way I see it, that’s the perfect set-up for a Cat Ward novel.

Enjoy!
