Season 4
mercredi 29 décembre 2021 • Duration 59:29
A bonus episode interview with the author of The Last House on Needless Street, Catriona Ward.
Praised by Stephen King, her latest novel has been called the Gothic Masterpiece of 2021.
This is the story of a murderer. A stolen child. Revenge. This is the story of Ted, who lives with his daughter Lauren and his cat Olivia in an ordinary house at the end of an ordinary street.
We discuss Catriona's love of horror, the process of writing horror, serial killers and their pets, Stephen King's endorsement of her book, the gothic novel and what it takes to write from the POV of a cat.
There will be spoilers for the book in the second part of the interview but these are clearly signalled.
The House on Needless Street is out now in the UK.
