We explore the figure of the Slavic forest witch Baba Yaga in this episode of The Folklore Podcast, through the lens of a new women in horror anthology called 'Into the Forest'. Amongst the 23 stories and poems in the book are ones written by a New York Times bestselling author, a number of Bram Stoker Award nominees, and our guest Catherine McCarthy - a Welsh author of dark fiction.
Catherine chats with film studies lecturer Jenny Barrett about her background and inspirations, and her take on Baba Yaga.
Into the Forest is published by Blackspot Books. You can find Catherine on Twitter here.
