Join me on todays episode for a discussion with of my all time favourite YouTubers/Podcasters Sinead Hanna to talk all about the genre of horror.

We talk about early horror interests - think Point Horror books, Ghost Watch and Hammer House of Horror.

Sinead also shares some of her favourite horror reads and movies overall but also for Summerween.

I have picked up a ton of inspiration on books and movies to watch through Sineads work, she really knows her onions for this genre!
