OM DETTA AVSNITT
This week on Talking Scared it’s monsters all day, every day.
To celebrate the release of Screams From the Dark: 29 Tales of Monsters and the Monstrous, we gather around the campfire with editor Ellen Datlow and three of her contributors – no less than Nathan Ballingrud, Chikodili Emelumadu and the great Joe R. Lansdale.
As a result, this is not your average Talking Scared episode. There is interruption, overlap, argument much good humour.
Amidst the chaos we still manage a fascinating conversation about the creatures that lurk in the wilds and those who walk amongst us. We talk about what makes a monster, why we love them, and where they fit in our modern hyperconnected world.
(and they have the audacity to tell me that Bigfoot isn’t real!)
Enjoy!
