This week we revisit one of the true classics of the genre, and the first horror story I ever read.

The Telltale Heart, By Edgar Allen Poe. This story is a masterclass in slowburning tension. It builds and builds until everything begins to fall apart. This remains probably my favourite horror short ever, and the thoughts and feelings stirred by this story echo for days.

Join me as we descend into madness...

In this episode, we explore the first part of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's long poem, Christabel, a creepy, unsettling journey into the supernatural and the loss of innocence.

As with many gothic works, the atmosphere and tone of this classic are chilling and disturbing in equal measure. This was my first re-read of this poem in years, and the effect was still the same.
