Time for a classic haunted house.
I’m on a short break from the show, to recoup, read without pressure and generally try not to implode. So we’re heading into the vault for some older conversations that new listeners may have missed and long-termers may enjoy anew.
Where better to start that in a haunted house with a Queen of 21st century horror – Ms Tananarive Due!
This was our first conversation together, back in May of 2021 – and we explored her bad-place archetype, The Good House, the elegiac horror of her collection, Ghost Summer, plus forays into her scholarship, film and TV work, and her relationships with Stephen King and Jordan Peele.
It’s a lot of fun.
Enjoy!
