Author and screenwriter Christian White, joined me to talk about his latest novel, ‘The Long Night’.

Topics discussed included:

- The suitably spooky origins and scenario that lead to ‘The Long Night’.

- Stone Tape Theory and how we are tethered by trauma and stories to certain physical places/spaces.

- Seeing the world and a scenario through the eyes of a creative. Em with her horror buff lens, Jodie with her painting.

- Horror - the freedom it affords Christian/creatives and how it allows us to tell relatable and realistic stories.

- Types of fear explored within the novel - from those typically found within a horror novel (the unknown lurking in the dark, a masked attacker) to those found within normal/everyday lives (male aggression, abused becoming abusers, related intergenerational trauma).

- And heaps more!

Thanks so much to Christian for talking with me about ‘The Long Night’ and everything else!
