No Darkness But Ours

Join Gemma Files and Simon Bestwick as they conclude their exploration of this 2017 film from Argentina, in which a string of bizarre incidents in an ordinary city neighbourhood escalate to a nightmarish conclusion. The terror of the unknown, the fragility of all we know and love, and utter randomness of events that can unravel our whole world: it's all here in Demian Regna's - appropriately - terrifying film.

Lynda E. Rucker is one of the finest practitioners of weird fiction in contemporary horror, and the latest collection of her strange and subtle fiction, Now It’s Dark, is out now from Swan River Press. In the third of this four-part interview, she talks to Gemma and Simon about the creative process, the idea of fiction as dreaming with your eyes open and the importance of grounding the weird in the mundane. We’ll also be discussing Lynda’s love of experimental film and her thoughts on the short story versus the novel as a vehicle for strange fiction.

In the first of this four-part interview, she talks to Gemma and Simon about the influence of Robert Aickman, the role of horror fiction, the folk horror film Ynys Men, and the power of the ambiguous endings that we find in so many of her stories.

The 1973 television play Penda’s Fen, written by David Rudkin is an extraordinary work that still unsettles, beguiles and astonishes fifty years after it was made, and stands as a classic of folk horror. It revolves around a series of revelations and supernatural encounters that lead a teenage boy, Stephen Franklin, to question everything he’s holds certain – his sexuality, his religion, his right-wing political beliefs and his very identity as a ‘son of England.’ In the final part of our conversation about this film, we talk about the fundamental questions the film poses, and how Stephen tries to answer them.

We couldn’t talk about lesbian horror without discussing the work of Shirley Jackson, so this week Gemma and Simon turn their attention to her along with the stories of Hailey Piper and Caitlin R. Kiernan, in the final instalment of this discussion.

The 1973 television play Penda’s Fen, written by David Rudkin is an extraordinary work that still unsettles, beguiles and astonishes fifty years after it was made, and stands as a classic of folk horror. Last week, we looked at how its teenage protagonist is forced to recognise and accept his true sexuality; tonight, in the second of three episodes, we look at how the visions and revelations he experiences call his religious and social certainties into question too.

In the third instalment of this podcast, Gemma and Simon look at the queer horror fiction of Vernon Lee, Marjorie Bowen and Louisa May Alcott, and the bleak fictional portrayals of female queerness and sexuality in a world which denied those women any possibility of a happy ending.
