Horror in the Margins

We talk to Bram Stoker Award-nominated author Laurel Hightower about her latest release, Every Woman Knows This: A Horror Collection, released by Death Knell Press. Laurel provides bourbon pairings for four of the stories from her collection, and we discuss the perils of motherhood, people who ask us to smile, generational trauma, body dysmorphia, and the feminine urge to come back from the dead because the house is filthy.

We discuss Daina Reid's Run, Rabbit, Run, which premiered at 2023 Sundance Film Festival. We talk about the complexity of motherhood, the innate viciousness of little girls, and our love of ghost stories. Also, the dad jokes and puns are out of control in this episode. You have been warned!

Run, Rabbit, Run has been picked up by Netflix and will available to stream later this year.

We discuss Nikyatu Jusu's Nanny and along the way, the false promise of the American dream, the ways in which white feminism often excludes women of color, power dynamics, and African folklore as presented in the film.  

Nanny is available to stream on Amazon Prime. 

The song we reference toward the end of the podcast during a pivotal scene in the film is Fully Lost, Fully Found by YATTA. Go listen - it's beautiful!
