Talking Scared goes live!   In April I was invited to chair a conversation between Michelle Paver and Ally Wilkes at the Oxford Literary Festival. I duly leapt on a train and bundled my way there – to ask the two survival horror queens about their stories of haunting and isolation in the coldest parts of the world.   We talk about handling the Victorian attitudes of exploration horror, the unique properties of fear in the vast open, and how their law careers led them to write such wild stories.   Also, we hear quite a lot of juicy info about their forthcoming jungle horror novels.   Thanks to the Oxford Literary Festival for the invitation.   Other books mentioned:   The Worst Journey in the World (1922), by Apsley Cherry-Garrard Female Husbands: A Trans History (2020), by Jen Manion  “The Man Whom The Trees Loved,” (1912), by Algernon Blackwood.   Support Talking Scared on Patreon   Check out the Talking Scared Merch line – at VoidMerch   Come talk books on Bluesky @talkscaredpod.bsky.social on Instagram/Threads, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Are you hungry?  If so we have a chewy, salty, deeply flavoured feast for you this week. Ally Wilkes returns to Talking Scared to discuss the icebound horrors of her new novel, Where the Dead Wait. It's a tale of Arctic exploration gone very wrong, complete with haunting, human suffering and the morbid fascination of cannibalism! Don't pretend that hasn't whet your appetite. Ally and I get into the raw details of consuming human meat, we talk about queerness in historical horror fiction, we discuss the nature of haunting and how a historical horror novel can have links to a sci-fi horror classic, and we talk reminisce about the time Ally nearly died on a Himalaya in an appalling coat. Jolly good fun wot wot! Enjoy! Other books mentioned: All the White Spaces (2022), by Ally Wilke The Shining (1977), by Stephen KingWhat Cares the Sea (1960), by Kenneth CookeThe Secret Sharer (1910), by Joseph ConradFrankenstein (1818), by Mary ShelleyIce Blink: The Tragic Fate of Sir John Franklin's Lost Polar Expedition (2000), by Scott CookmanSundial (2022), by Catriona WardDead Silence (2022), by S.A.

I am joined by Ally Wilkes on an expedition very few Stephen King fans will forget - into the heart of darkness and autocannibalism in Survivor Type. This grisly morsel was the grossout highlight of King's collection Skeleton Crew. It was recently turned into an animated episode of Shudder's Creepshow to pretty good effect. Once read, this one isn't easily forgotten, certainly not by Ally Wilkes, the writer of one of my favourite books of last year, All the White Spaces. Ally and I talk eating long pig, arctic expeditions and the ineffable lure of the unknown spaces for a writer. I am really looking forward to her next book, the similarly chilly sounding Where the Dead Wait, and thoroughly recommend you pick up All the White Spaces in preparation....

This month we take a look at the torments of the writing process through the lens of Rob Reiner's 1990 adaptation of 1987 King novel Misery. Like last month's Shawshank Redemption it was a favourite of critics and audiences alike, mainly due to the bravura performances of James Caan and Kathy Bates. Joining me to talk about it is screenwriter and film buff Justin Stanley, who has written about the tempestuous process of writing in the 2017 film Black Butterfly, starring Antonio Banderas and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Justin and I will also be present for the upcoming screening of the grindhouse double bill at Norwich Cinema City on March 21st 2022. Justin has been advocating for Hollywood 90028 since it's restoration, and he has paired it with the sleazy classic Death Game for an unforgettable night. I will be pitching in to help host, and we will have contributions from film historian (and previous guest) Dr Linda Sheppard, writer/director Eli Roth and writer/director Ti West. Tickets are available here, but please act quickly, as there aren't many left.... Apologies to Ally Wilkes for bumping her this month (in favour of Annie Wilkes, strangely), but our conversation will now be out on April 1st. No fooling. Thanks to Stephen L Parkes and the Wonder Machine for editing. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theconstantreaderpodcast/message

Apologies for the hiatus, now back at full strength and we have a full slate of episodes for 2023 lined up, including some TBC guests making their own Stephen King adaptations, as well as some of the geniuses behind some big-name books and TV shows, plus fellow podcasters from within the Stephen King podcasting community. James Michels is a great guest to kick off the year. His experiences working in correctional facilities makes him qualified to discuss 1994's The Shawshank Redemption, directed by Frank Darabont. He is also an author, whose work can be found here, and his personal website can be found here. We discuss his new book, Life's Dark Corners which gives the reader five short, sharp jolts in a noir package. Heartily recommend it. See you next month, when we will be talking to the author of one of my favourite debuts, All the White Spaces, Ally Wilkes, and i will try not to call her Annie Wilkes too much..... Thanks to SLP for all kinds of support. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theconstantreaderpodcast/message

It's that time of year again. A time to reflect, to look back over a tumultuous twelve months, and to talk about the horror books that helped us survive them.2022 has been a helluva year for the good kind of horror. Far too much for one man to cover. So I've drafted in some highly qualified friends – Emily Hughes and Janelle Janson. They have their fingers right on the arterial spurt of the genre – and they have each read far more than me.Together we deliver this year's State of the Horror Nation – talking about big issues in horror, the key books we've adored…and the dozens and dozens of titles we're looking forward to in 2023.We raise a glass to a late and beloved horror icon, we make some new year's resolutions, and Janelle and Emily get a bit squeaky about their big horror crush.

An interview with Ally Wilkes, author of ALL THE WHITE SPACES, released 25 Jan '22 (UK) and 22 March '22 (USA). This episode includes an author-read extract from the novel, and we discussed Polar exploration in the early 20thC, the Great War (WWI), Polar horror, and a morsel of survival cannibalism.

In this episode of Confessions of a Debut Novelist, I talk to Ally Wilkes about her Antarctic horror, All The White Spaces. In this episode Ally and I discuss how her trans character Jonathan brought something fresh to her historical setting, how live action role play enriched her research and the importance of setting in horror novels.

Is it cold where you are? If so, do I have the book for you.Our guest is Ally Wilkes, whose debut novel, All the White Spaces was my pick for the most anticipated horror novel of early 2022. I was NOT disappointed.The book takes us to Antarctica in 1919, just months after the end of the First World War, in the dying years of the Heroic Age of Exploration. There, trapped in the frozen ‘overwinter' the team of men are forced to confront a malignant presence that draws them out into the cold.Did that give you a shiver? The good kind? Yes!Ally's book is the springboard for a great conversation about exploration and hauntings. We debate over what the thing in the darkness is. Is it a ghost, a god, an evil sense of anti-human geography?But beyond that we also get into all kinds of meaty, chewy topics, such as how her novel unpicks and deconstructs the long-celebrated ideas of masculinity, heroism, nationhood and empire. Yet, despite all that, the Daily Mail still gave it a good review. It's THAT good a book. Enjoy!!All the White Spaces is released in the UK on January 25th by Titan Books, and on Mach 22nd by Atria in North America. Other books mentioned in this episode include: Tell Me I'm Worthless (2021), by Alison RumfittDead Silence (2021), by S.

Spitzbergen, 1881. The whaling station stinks, metallic and rank, even though it's slap-you-in-the-face cold. David Grace---born and raised in the Welsh valleys---had thought he'd known cold. A thin layer of ice on milk left out overnight, his sisters tracing patterns in the frost on the bedroom windows. But the last few weeks in the Arctic seas have taken him somewhere entirely different. Up here, the cold gets into a man's bones. He looks at the huts huddled around the small bay. | Copyright 2021 by Ally Wilkes. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.
