In the first of three podcasts on Queer Horror, Gemma Files and Simon Bestwick discuss the proposition that all horror is queer, as it concerns by its nature life outside the default, their own relationship to that default and how that's shaped their own work. Ti West's X, the morality of slasher films and fatphobia all come under scrutiny, along with where the line between representation and appropriation lies.

In the final part of their overview of Queer Horror, Gemma Files and Simon Bestwick turn their attention to more recent creators of Queer Horror such as David Rudkin, Joel Lane, Clive Barker and Michael McDowell, and discuss the power of sexuality as a force of both liberation and destruction.

In this special Christmas edition of the podcast, Gemma and Simon each read a ghost story. YOL by Gemma and JARMAN'S GHOST by Simon are two very different, but equally haunting, tales of terror to listen to on Christmas Eve. Happy Holidays to all our listeners!

In the final part of their exploration of folk horror, Gemma Files and Simon Bestwick discuss vampires and werewolves as serial killers, the case for Straw Dogs as a folk-horror movie, the 'colonial horror' of 'The Gorge of the Churels,' the genius of Saki in 'Sredni Vashtar' and of David Rudkin in Penda's Fen, and much much more besides.

Coming soon, the duo will be delving into the world of Queer Horror - but before that, stay tuned for a special edition of the podcast where Gemma and Simon talk to George Popov and Daniel Oldroyd, the director and star of the folk-horror movie The Droving.
