271 – Avery Curran & The Naughtiest Ghosts in School
Time for sex and seances this week on Talking Scared.
Our guest is Avery Curran and her debut novel Spoiled Milk. It’s a story of spiritualism and sapphic desire, set in a 1920s boarding school where death, rot, haunting and much worse things (patriarchy!) runs rampant.
Avery is a specialist in the history of spiritualism (with a brand new PhD to her name) and this conversation is a deep and deeply enjoyable route through all of her books haunted classrooms.
It’s one of those episodes when we ALL learn something, listeners.
Enjoy!
