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.

Show Notes Free Palestine This week Amity gets frustrated with the self-inflicted trials that Cary Grant goes through in Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest. Never has someone tried so hard to get themselves in trouble and never has someone had so little care for their own life without being actively seeking death. We have an excellent villain and a compelling leading lady and some very cool – and yes thrilling – set pieces. If only our protagonist wasn't such a dumb dummy.

We're going up in the world this week – longitudinally and latitudinally, with the GOAT of endurance, adventure Gothic, Michelle Paver. Michelle joins me for a big conversation about her novels Dark Matter and Thin Air – two of the most effective ghost stories of the 21st century. One takes us to the Arctic, the other to a Himalayan peak, both places littered with the dead… who may still be around. We talk about how ghost stories work, their tradition and what perhaps differentiates them from horror. We consider the challenge of writing heroes with imperial perspectives, and Michelle relates her own, eerie, dangerous experiences out in the frozen wilds. This is perfect winter listening, even if we did record it in July. Enjoy!

Episode Notes This is the second in our specials reviewing the books on The Week Junior Book Awards shortlist for Audiobook of the Year 2023. We chat about Wolfbane by Michelle Paver as narrated by Ian McKellen: The grand finale to the prize-winning adventure series that has changed the lives of millions. Breathtaking world-building on an epic scale. Pure escapism at its best. It is early spring, a turbulent, perilous time of sudden storms, frozen river fractures and drifting ice. Fleeing from a demon intent on devouring his souls, Wolf is swept out to sea far from the forest and his pack. The ocean, too, teems with danger: sea wolves, sharks and hunters of the deep, and the demon is gaining ground. Torak and Renn must race to save their pack-brother, battling the harsh icy waves and merciless torrents. If they can't find Wolf in time, the bond between them will be severed forever.... Run wild with Wolf Brother for the last time in a Stone Age world we all want to be part of. We also discuss Ellie and the Cat by Malorie Blackman (Illustrated by Matt Robertson) as narrated by Esme Sears: Ellie's bad behaviour is driving Grandma mad! It's time to teach her a lesson she'll never forget … by swapping Ellie's body with Jolly the cat. There's only one way for Ellie to break Grandma's curse, and time is running out. Can she change her ways and find some friends to lend a hand? Or will Ellie be trapped as a cat for ever? A cautionary tale of brats, cats and a little bit of magic Thank you to The Week Junior for sending us the reviewing copies.

Breaking the Glass Slipper: Women in science fiction, fantasy, and horror
It's easy to see why haunted houses are frightening – most of us live in a house and share a terror of what might happen if some unpleasant force took up residence there alongside us. Similarly, folk horror that is rooted in a particular place can challenge our sense of feeling safe within a community. […] The post The haunt – with Michelle Paver first appeared on Breaking the Glass Slipper.

A man driving home on a winter's night thinks he sees a big cat stalking the moor. He crashes his car and then the weirdness really begins. An original story by Northumberland author Rowan Bowman. #audiobook #horror #northumberland #blanchland Further notes sent me by Rowan after our discussion: Influences in my writing:Raymond Chandler. He writes as a film director, intent on the reader seeing the view clearly in front of them. Daphne du Maurier. Partly because of her sense of place, but also because of the subtlety of the ghosts in some of her stories, Rebecca in particular, the writing is haunted by the melancholy of the nameless narrator, and the actual haunting, the influence that Rebecca has from beyond the grave, is superbly handled. Mandalay was based on du Maurier's own house. I often set books in or around houses I have known intimately. Shirley Jackson. The best writer of mad protagonists and unreliable witnesses in my opinion. Favourite authorsThe first proper ghost story I ever read was A Christmas Carol, I think that's where a lot of people start. As a teenager I suffered from terrible nightmares and took solace in Poe and Lovecraft and progressed to Ray Bradbury (Something Wicked This Way Comes still gives me the shudders). Then I went on to James Herbert, Shirley Jackson and lots of crime stories and thrillers, anything that confirmed it's normal to be scared and okay not to be okay. Life sorted itself out and I was busy raising my children. The nightmares eased and I read anything I could reach while doing something else. Danielewski's The House of Leaves was the first book in years to actually scare me. I still enjoy Robert Harris thrillers and the Cormoran Strike novels, but I'm back in this stage of my life to seeking out the weird and scary. Dan Simmons is always a good read, I recommend Drood. The atmosphere is intense and like most of his stories the landscapes suck you in. I enjoyed Michelle Paver's Thin Air, but prefer Dark Matter as a supernatural horror, again the landscape is one of the characters, the real horror in Thin Air comes from mundane self-interested cruelty which rather overshadows the supernatural element for me. The landscape in The Loney is brilliantly evoked. There have been several novels since set around the area, but none capture it in the same way. My favourite China Meiville novel is The City and The City, its fantastical landscape is so well drawn that it seems more real than room you are sitting in. The best book I've read since the start of Lockdown has been Piranesi. I loved Johnathon Strange and Mr Norrell; this is very different, but equally good. The reader understands what is going on just before it is revealed, set in a fantasy world that is so well drawn that it's utterly convincing. If you've ever been asked, 'What is wrong with you?' when admitting to a love of the macabre or frightening, then I recommend Noel Carroll's accessible The Philosophy of Horror (1990) and Lovecraft's collection of essays Supernatural Horror in Literature. Hope this may be of some interest. Thank you for reading The Beast of Blanchland. All the best, Rowan Support this podcast

This week we join Lyra in the fish shed as the full weight of what the Gobblers are doing to the children hits her. She takes poor ‘half-child' Tony Mackarios back to the Gyptian camp on Iorek's back, towards help, hot food and sleep.Join us as we both get very distracted by lots of rabbit holes, get over-excited about fencing with Iorek and find another link to Iain's favourite talking point: Tsar bomba! Again!------To find out more about the little-understood phenomenon of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (or ‘broken heart syndrome'), start here!If you want to learn more about Svalbard in our world, start by travelling here and then we certainly recommend Dark Matter by Michelle Paver (available here or as a brilliantly performed audiobook) - it's not for the faint-hearted!We talk more about Novaya Zemlya and Tsar Bomba this episode - we don't know why you expected anything less.We highly recommend you check out the astounding town coat of arms for Zheleznogorsk, here…it has to be seen to be believed!Do you also have an urge to use random objects as a size-reference?

DARK MYSTERIES Tuesday and Friday at 2am CET - Wednesday and Friday at 1pm CET. This program is hosted by Madeleine d'Este. This week, Madeleine talks about the book "Dark Matter" by Michelle Paver.
November är en ful och tråkig månad, men Sissel och Åsa vet hur den kan göras gladare - genom att stirra sig vindögd på vackra omslag! I det här avsnittet väljs och döms alla böcker utifrån sitt omslag! Det snackas om stilrena sådana, som "Wakenhyrst" av Michelle Paver och "Marley" av Jon Clinch. Färgexplosioner fyllda av symbolik som "Marionetternas döttrar" av Maria Ernestam och "In at the Deep End" av Kate Davies får också sin stund i rampljuset. Snacka om ljudböcker har dessutom en spännande expertgäst - Lisa Benk är formgivare och ligger bakom omslag till böcker av såväl Jonas Hassen Khemiri som Linda Skugge och Maria Maunsbach. Nu senast "Hit, men inte längre", som det snackas om flitigt i podden. Dessutom diskuteras några heta potatisar såsom författarporträtt, filmaffischer som bokomslag och vacker formgivning som döljer ett mediokert innehåll. Allt som allt ett underbart avsnitt!

He is best known for his phenomenal bestseller The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas which has sold an astonishing 9 million copies worldwide. His latest book, My Brother's Name Is Jessica, is an urgent call to arms for better empathy and understanding around the complexity of gender identity, and is full of John’s trademark warmth, humour and emotion.

WPAYO had the great pleasure and honour of interviewing Michelle Paver, author of [among others] Dark Matter and Thin Air, two of our favourite novels of recent years. Her new novel, Wakenhyrst, is a change of direction which is no less absorbing, lifelike and haunting. Wakenhyrst is out now.
In the second of our One Page Punch-Up specials we asked our Patreon Chart Topper supporters to send us one page from their work-in-progress and we gave them to agent and editor Jon Wood to critique. Jon is an agent at Rogers, Coleridge and White and has worked in publishing for over 20 years. He was a commissioning editor at Hodder before moving to Orion where he ran the Orion Fiction imprint. He has worked with Harlan Coben, Kate Mosse, Anthony Horowitz, Andy McNab, Michelle Paver, Denise Mina, RJ Ellory, Joanne Harris and many more! He moved to RCW in 2018 and is building a list of commercial fiction and non-fiction projects.

On Christmas Eve, Andrew Marr explores the mysteries of snow and ice. Michelle Paver's novels dwell in the darkest places: an Arctic hut in midwinter haunted by ghosts, an isolated mountain peak, and a prehistoric frozen forest. She explains the appeal of these inhospitable settings, and asks why the cold still terrifies us. Ben Saunders knows the sounds and smells of ice better than most. As one of the world's leading polar explorers he has skied to the North Pole and completed Scott and Shackleton's aborted trip to the South Pole. He describes the exhaustion, frustration and wonder of life on a frozen sea. Materials scientist Mark Miodownik knows that liquids are not to be trusted, even when frozen solid. His latest book, Liquid: The Delightful and Dangerous Substances That Flow Through Our Lives, unpicks the cracks, creaks and crystals of ice. Poet and writer Nancy Campbell set out from the world's northernmost museum to understand our fascination with ice and snow. Her new book, The Library of Ice: Readings from a Cold Climate,brings to life the people who dwell in these icy landscapes, many of which are now disappearing. Producer: Hannah Sander
Vi bjuder in Creepypoddens Jack Werner för att prata om den sorts amatörproducerade skräcklitteratur på internet som går under benämningen creepypasta. Tomas lyfter den japanska spökhistoriemoralen kring toalettbesök lite på måfå och Lars försöker etablera en distinktion mellan meningsfullt och meningslöst teknikstrul. Vi pratar också om: Momo, Slenderman, 4chan, Marble Hornets, Getmannen, Stephen King, The Stand, Nuke ‘em High, Troma, Barn med svarta ögon, The Nun, The Terror, Dan Simmons, Thin Air, Evig Natt, Michelle Paver, American Beauty, Ted the Caver, 1793, Niklas Natt och Dag, Talking Angela, Herobrine, Minecraft, Bengt af Klintberg, Dionaeahuset, Duscharna, ”den anonyma författaren”, Erik Kuoksu, Folkminnen i P1, Kristina Mattsson, Min döda flickvän skriver till mig i Facebookchatten, Råttan i pizzan, Carl Sagan, Contact, Det ryska sömnexperimentet, Peter Jackson, Bad Taste, Marble Hornets, The Blair Witch Project, Dear David, Halo, Nattlinan, SCP, Channel Zero, The Ring, The Mothman Prophecies, Candyman, Svarta madam, Urban Legend, Chock, Theresa Fidalgo, Noel Carroll, De dödas röster, Himmelsberg, Sara Bergmark Elfgren och Mats Strandberg.

Karine snakker om "Høydeskrekk" av Michelle Paver. Bokprat fra 18.09.18.
Samtidigt som Axl Rose övade skalor inför konserten på Friends arena, passade vi på att träffa Madeleine Bäck för att prata om saker som gör oss förbannade, skräck, hårdrock och så klart: Vattnet drar och Jorden vaknar plus kommande Berget offrar. Som om detta inte vore nog fick vi rafflande god rulltårta – men det kommer ni inte höra, för vi åt upp den långt innan vi började spela in. Var så god för en liten bonus innan vi tar sommarsemester.

A Ghost Story with Altitude "I scared myself when I was writing it!" Michelle Paver's classic Gothic ghost story is set on Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas in 1935, the twilight of the Empire but the golden age of mountaineering. It has all the elements of the perfect ghost story but as she says, "not many people have set a ghost story at 23,000 feet." for more go to www.radiogorgeous.com #books #scary #ghost #ThinAir
My guests are Matt Ritchie, Forestry Commission Scotland's archaeologist, Donald Henson, studying for a PhD in Public Perceptions of the Mesolithic at York University, and James Dilley of Ancient Craft and about to embark on a PhD as well. matt quickly disabuses me of the notion that Wolf Brother is set in the Scottish Mesolithic (which is the only reason I had him on in the first place) and then we chat about the wondrous period of hunter-gatherers, wildwoods, and magic in the forest.
Strongly divergent opinions are aired on this week's edition of A Good Read as acclaimed children's author Michelle Paver brings Tove Jansson's 'Summer Book' to the table, a moving account of the relationship between an old woman and her granddaughter. We hear how she struggles with the choice of medical journalist Ben Goldacre, who discusses 'Testing Treatments', an account of how drug trials are conducted. Presenter Harriett Gilbert likes both, but proposes an autobiographical novel, 'Jigsaw' by Sybille Bedford, which for Goldacre misses the mark by a million miles. Producer: Mark Smalley
Michelle Paver's book signing queues are getting almost as long as Jacqueline Wilson's and her Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series has become a massive hit with children; full of ancient artefacts and tales of survival. Listen to this exciting event from 2007, suitable for children aged 8-12 years old.
