The Losers are back in The Stacks for another round for recommendations, digressions, and musings about the joys of the written word. Randall, Ashley, Sammie, and Julia begin by gabbing about some of May's new horror and genre releases and riffing on the latest news from the literary world, including Michael B. Jordan scooping up the rights to some BookTok favorites. Then we share our own recommendations, which span fiction and non, horror and sci-fi, and releases new and old. Two are about video games and one inspired 1987's Angel Heart. Pretty rad. Check out an abbreviated list of our recs below. Books: Dead Silence by S.A. Barnes Falling Angel by William Hjortsberg Girl on Girl: How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves by Sophie Gilbert The Lady from the Black Lagoon: Hollywood Monsters and the Lost Legacy of Milicent Patrick by Mallory O'Meara The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward Mary: An Awakening of Terror by Nat Cassidy Noobs by CG Regan Polybius by Collin Armstrong Other recs: Andor (series) Book of Love: Book of Love (album) Dead Mail (movie) Peter and the Pulsars (band) Provoker: Mausoleum (album) Subtle Hints: Subtle Hints (album)

It's week two of April's theme on Fully-Booked, and in today's literary podcast episode, we're diving deep into the world of fools, tricksters, and - our main focus today - unreliable narrators.Last week, we examined the mythological and folkloric origins of fools and tricksters - how these figures evolved and what they symbolized. This week, we're exploring how those archetypes translate into literary devices, especially when it comes to unreliable narrators. It's a natural progression: What happens when the trickster gets to tell the story?What Makes a Narrator Unreliable?We started by teasing out a basic premise:Not all unreliable narrators are tricksters.But every trickster who narrates is, in some form, unreliable.When a trickster character narrates a story, readers are immediately on guard. Are they bending the truth, lying outright, or withholding key information? Their intent to manipulate the narrative often colors everything they say. This introduces a built-in level of mistrust, pushing readers to question what's true and what's fabricated constantly.Unreliable narrators challenge:Reader assumptionsThe line between truth and fictionMoral boundaries and societal normsAs readers, we end up reflecting on our own perceptions. Are we missing signs of dishonesty? Were there clues we should have caught earlier? This layered storytelling technique becomes especially potent in modern fiction, where readers enjoy being kept on their toes.Examples Of Trickster NarratorsArthur posed an interesting question: Do we enjoy being tricked as readers? Meaghan said yes - most of the time. She loves it when a book surprises her in a way she didn't see coming. With so much content available these days, true surprises are rare and, therefore, even more satisfying.Meaghan's recent favorite in this category?The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward.A psychological thriller with multiple points of view.Several narrators, each unreliable for different reasons.One of the narrators is a cat.Made Meaghan's top 5 list the year she read it.Types Of Trickster NarratorsArthur then introduced some types of trickster narrators, each with a corresponding example:The Charming Liar:The Gospel of Loki by Joanne M. HarrisLoki narrates Norse myths in a sarcastic, self-serving tone.The Trickster “Playing Dumb”:Pale Fire by Vladimir NabokovCharles, the narrator, presents himself as humble but co-opts the text for his own delusional storytelling.The Con Artist:The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott LynchLocke recounts smooth, confident cons while hiding important facts.The Satirical Joker:Lamb by Christopher MooreNarrated by Biff, Jesus' childhood friend, offering a wild and irreverent version of the gospels.Meaghan also mentioned Moore's Fool, a retelling of King Lear from the jester's point of view - full of skewed perception and dark humor.Breaking Down Unreliable Narrator TypesWe moved on to categorize unreliable narrators, going beyond trickster stereotypes and into broader literary theory. Meaghan broke it down with literary references and examples:1. Naive NarratorsOften, children or individuals who don't grasp the full complexity of events.Atonement by Ian McEwan: Told from a 12-year-old's perspective.Room by Emma Donoghue: Told by a 6-year-old boy, Jack.These narrators are unreliable due to innocence or inexperience.2. Outsider NarratorsThese are characters who observe the story but aren't involved deeply enough to know all the facts.Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë: Nelly, the maid, is both observer and embellisher.Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier: The second Mrs. de Winter tries to piece together a past she wasn't part of.3. Picaros (Embellishers)Narrators who intentionally exaggerate or glorify events.A classic example is Wuthering Heights again.Trickster example: Loki, who retells stories for his own benefit.4. Mentally Unstable or Addicted NarratorsCharacters with distorted perceptions due to mental health or substance abuse.Shutter IslandGirl on the Train by Paula Hawkins: The protagonist's alcoholism clouds her judgment and memory.5. Outright LiarsCharacters who knowingly lie to the reader.Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn: Amy's diary entries mislead the reader.Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov: Humbert manipulates the reader into sympathizing with him despite his actions.Sometimes, books combine multiple types - like Lolita, which features both delusion and deception.Literary vs. Mystery NarrativesArthur and Meaghan also discussed the line between unreliable narration and general mystery storytelling. Just because a thriller keeps secrets doesn't mean its narrator is unreliable.For example:The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden uses shifting POVs and flashbacks but doesn't rely on unreliable narration.It's simply a mystery where the reader is only given pieces of the puzzle over time.The distinction matters. If the narrator isn't lying or misinterpreting events, it doesn't fall into the unreliable category.Final Thoughts and What's NextWe wrapped up with a few key reflections:Unreliable narrators are fascinating because they play with perception and challenge the reader's role in interpreting the story.These narratives are especially popular in genres like thrillers, where surprise is a major draw.There's value in understanding why a narrator is unreliable - whether due to innocence, manipulation, delusion, or deception.Next week, Meaghan and Arthur are planning to explore a specific book-to-film adaptation that features unreliable narration. They'll dive into whether the adaptation holds up and how the narrative trickery translates to the screen.

Send us a textThis is the last way-back episode before the show returns with a scream next week. But this is an episode worth remembering – my first ever conversation with Catriona Ward, about her game-changing The Last House on Needless Street too! This was a big ask for a novice interviewer. How the hell do you talk about a book that hinges on such a huge secret. Somehow we managed to walk that tightrope, whilst also talking about cats (feline) serial killers, and the haunted bedroom of Cat's (author) girlhood. It's fun to retread this grim path. Enjoy! Other books mentioned: Rawblood (2015), by Catriona WardLittle Eve (2018), by Catriona WardThe Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper (2019), by Hallie RubenholdSpider (1990), by Patrick McGrath Support Talking Scared on Patreon Come talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Support the show

Miramos a Cuenca, a su museo de arte abstracto, donde se reivindica la figura de uno de sus impulsores: el pintor Antonio Lorenzo. Un pintor con ideas sobre el que hablamos hoy con el comisario de la muestra, el director de exposiciones de la Fundación Juan March a la que pertenece el Museo de Cuenca, y el nieto de ANTONIO LORENZO.Queda menos de una semana para las elecciones presidenciales de EE.UU. Serán el próximo 5 de noviembre y han sido días de intesa actividad en lo que los estadounidenses llaman 'rallyes', es decir, sus mítines, eso sí, 'A la americana'. O sea, todo lo grande: escenarios enormes, públicos multitudinarios y cómo no, la presencia de estrellas de primer nivel del mundo del cine, de la televisión y de la música. Repasamos con Jordi Urios los apoyos a ambos lados que han recibido los candidatos Donald Trump y Kamala Harris desde los artistas. Hoy os voy a hablar de pasar miedo leyendo, y no sólo leyendo, y también de reírse un poco, aprovechando que es Halloween, y que hay un montón de libros —y una serie en concreto— que puede que no tengáis en el radar y que creo que deberíais tener para disfrutar de esta noche aún más. Es lo que trae Laura Fernández: Stephen King - 'Los langolieros', Shirley Jackson - 'La noche en que todos tuvimos gripe', Mark Z. Danielewski - 'La casa de hojas', Catriona Ward - 'La última casa de Needless Street', Stephen Graham Jones - 'La noche de los maniquíes' o 'Mi corazón es una motosierra', 'La trilogía IREMONGER' - Edward Carey y 'Los seres queridos' - Evely Waugh.Escuchar audio

Jake and Ron are honored and thrilled to have author Catriona Ward on the podcast! Her latest novel is Looking Glass Sound published by Tor Nightfire.https://tornightfire.com/catalog/looking-glass-sound-catriona-ward/https://us.macmillan.com/author/catrionawardI recently caught Catriona Ward at the Brookline Booksmith in Massachusetts, where she sat on a panel with former Wrath of the iOtians guest Christopher Golden and the inimitable Gretchen Felker-Martin, author of Manhunt. And it's obvious that Catriona's fan base is large and adoring, and rightly so. She has a generosity of spirit that's immediately palpable. Look no further than her willingness to talk with us in the midst of an exhausting cross country book tour.  Catriona's work is influenced by her globetrotting youth. She was born in Washington, D. C., but grew up, well, all over, with stops in Kenya, Madagascar, Yemen, England, and Morocco. Catriona earned her undergraduate degree in English Literature at Oxford, and a Master's in Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia. In 2015, she brought her experience, education, and energy to bear on Rawblood. Published as The Girl from Rawblood in the U. S. in 2016,  the book signaled the arrival of a major new talent in horror fiction and won an August Derleth Award at the British Fantasy Awards to boot.  Catriona followed up in 2019 with Little Eve, which also won a Derleth and a Shirley Jackson Award. In 2022, Catriona blew readers, critics, and no less an authority than Stephen King himself away with The Last House on Needless Street, a mind bender of a novel that I hope every iOtian listener has already enjoyed.  The book won an amazing third Derleth Award for Catriona. And was also shortlisted for the World Fantasy Award, the British Book Award, and a Red Tentacle Kitschie, which, for those not in the know, is a juried prize awarded for elevating the tone of genre literature. 2023 brought us Sundial, which was nominated for the Bram Stoker and Locus Awards. Of its author, Danielle Trussoni of the New York Times remarked, “Ward is willing to go places so dark, so dismal, that it borders on sadism.” In our line of work, that's high praise.  Elevated horror indeed.  Catriona combines elements of the psychological thriller, the gothic, and a hallucinatory high strangeness to create a voice that is uniquely hers. No one else could have written Looking Glass Sound, her other 2023 release with Tor Nightfire. Which I might add continues to publish the best of the best of contemporary horror. Catriona spoke with us about this book from a hotel room in the Twilight Zone, en route to her next speaking gig.

Back from a too-short break, but ready to delve into the greatest haunted house of them all! Shirley Jackson's Hill House. The place where the scary things walk alone. Thankfully, I am not alone. I'm joined by my own group of creepy ghost-hunters: Paul Tremblay (A Head Full of Ghosts, Cabin at the End of the World), Johnny Compton (The Spite House) and Catriona Ward (Last House on Needless Street, Looking Glass Sound). I can think of no better collective to explore the corridors of this book and house. We get INTO it. The crafted magic of that infamous opening paragraph, the long legacy of creepy houses in American fiction, the choice between the haunted void and hideous, mundane reality. Plus, a raft of film recommendations, and a few brief forays into our favourite real haunted places. This one was necessary. Hope you enjoy it. Other books mentioned: House of Leaves (2000), by Mark Z.

Summary: Howdy, neighbor! Join Holly and Devin today as they discuss a theme that catalyzes some of the most intense plotlines in both their wheelhouses; who is sexier and/or creepier than your neighbor? They agree that the tropes in both horror/thriller and romance stories featuring neighbors are some of their favorites. Stick around at the end for some *spoilers* on Holly's book that blew Devin's mind!  Topics Discussed: The Dagger (3:57): Holly discussed The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward, a horror novel following Ted Bannerman - the classic creepy neighbor. He lives alone with his cat, Olivia, in a dilapidated house at the end of a cul-de-sac. Visited by his daughter, Lauren, and with perspectives shifting between them, a neighbor Dee, and the cat Olivia (you read that right), this novel explores what it means to be a neighbor, and to know (or not) yours. Holly's key takeaways were: This novel examines the impact of traumatic events on individuals' perceptions, behaviors, and mental well-being. Ward delves into how psychological trauma can distort memories and influence actions, including the nature of reality. Much of what you can expect from this book is disturbing; the author taps into fears and anxieties of the characters and the reader to create an unsettling atmosphere and unshakeable sense of unease.  The unreliable narrators contribute to the suspense and ambiguity of the story; nothing in the book is what it seems - the reader is presented with perspectives that shift and befuddle.  The Heart (18:18): Devin discussed The Switch by Beth O'Leary, a novel that follows Leena Cotton and her 79-year-old grandmother, Eileen, as they switch houses for two months. After a panic attack and subsequent sabbatical from work, Leena needs a change of pace and is looking for a quieter life than her bustling experience in London. Eileen is newly single, about to turn eighty, and ready to mingle. Devin's key takeaways were: While this novel is definitely a romance (for both Leena and Eileen), we also witness important and equally transformative platonic and familial relationships; our protagonists redefine their relationship through the novel and come to a deeper understanding of each other as they live each other's lives.  One of the main themes O'Leary teases out is self-discovery at any age; whether you're about to be 30 or about to be 80, there is more to uncover about who you are, what you want, and where you want your life to go. Unlike many romances, The Switch has octogenarian representation and intergenerational connections; as a reader we get to experience well-rounded characters in multiple generations who come together to grow and learn from each other. Hot On the Shelf (36:17): Holly: The Master Key by Masako Togawa Devin: Will They or Won't They by Ava Wilder What's Making Our Hearts Race (40:42): Holly: Taylor Swift (Holly came out as a Swiftie) Devin: Heartstopper Season 2   Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com   If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience. 

If you thought The Last House on Needless Street was tricksy, just wait until you hear about Looking Glass Sound. This is Cat's ode to the Maine of Stephen King, the enigmatic narrators of Shirley Jackson and… well, a host of other comparisons that I foist upon her in the next hour.Above all that though – the book is so typically, inimitably Catriona Ward. It's a destined Gothic classic that takes the genre, crumples it into a ball before rewriting the whole thing. We cover the purpose of metafiction in horror, how writing a book is like falling in love, the eeriness of the Maine coast and her fascination with the Neverland Ranch. If that isn't enough Cat also tells us a ghost story that happened to her just the night before.Tricksy, very tricksy…as Gollum would say.EnjoyLooking Glass Sound was published April 20th by Viper Books in the UK and 22nd August by Tor Nightfire in the US.Other books mentioned in this episode include: Lunar Park (2005), by Bret Easton EllisThe Rules of Attraction (1987), by Bret Easton EllisThe Secret History (1992), by Donna TarttMy Other Life (1996) by Paul TherouxAny Human Heart (2002), by William BoydThe Haunting of Hill House (1959), by Shirley JacksonDeath of a Bookseller (2023), by Alice SlaterMrs March (2021), by Virgina Feito Support Talking Scared on PatreonCome talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Support the show

Keepers of the flame, beacons in the night, purveyors of meaning in a cold, dark universe … usually.Alice Slater used to be a member of that celebrated guild, now she's written about the light and dark side of the trade in her debut smash, Death of a Bookseller. It pulls back the curtain on an industry we all care deeply about, to reveal the obsession, madness and … murder(?) behind the chai lattes and instagram posts.In this conversation we cover a lot of ground… from the problems inherent in True Crime, book-fetishization, and the weird empathy we feel for serial killers' pets. Plus, I get to talk about my favourite things (see: everything mentioned so far) with someone who genuinely once worked in my local bookshop.This was a blast.Enjoy! Death of a Bookseller was published on April 25th by Hodder and ScarletOther books mentioned in this episode include:Savage Appetites: True Stories of Women, Crime and Obsession (2019), by Rachel MonroeThe Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper (2019), by Hallie RubenholdYou (2014), by Caroline KepnesGone Girl (2012), by Gillian FlynnThe Last House on Needless Street (2021), by Catriona WardThe Sluts (2004), by Dennis CooperThings Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke (2021), by Eric LaRoccaEcho (2022), by Thomas Olde Heuvelt Support Talking Scared on PatreonCome talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Support the show

Buckle up book nerds. Today, Elizabeth and I are going to be sharing books we didn't like.

We don't want to bash these books, rather we want to share why they didn't work for us. Let me know what terrible books you have read because of hype.

Catriona Ward was born in Washington, DC and grew up in the United States, Kenya, Madagascar, Yemen, and Morocco. Her fourth novel, the gothic thriller Sundial was Observer Thriller of the Month and a USA Today, CNN and Apple Books selection for best new fiction. Stephen King called it ‘Authentically terrifying.'Ward's third breakout novel The Last House on Needless Street won the August Derleth Prize, and Esquire magazine listed it as one of the 25 best horror novels of all time.Ward's second novel Little Eve won the 2019 Shirley Jackson Award and the August Derleth Prize. It was a Barnes and Noble best Horror Book of 2022 and a Guardian best book of 2018. Ward's debut The Girl from Rawblood took her “eight years to write,” she reveals on this podcast, likening the experience to a seance. And it also won the 2016 August Derleth, making her the only woman to have won the prize three times.She also talks about the curse of the second novel (hers was Little Eve) and cautions, “Don't miss your deadline, kids.” Hashtag Helpful Advice. The book bombed but the descriptions of why are fascinating and helped set the stage for Needless Street to explode.Her short stories have appeared in numerous anthologies and have been shortlisted for various prizes. She lives in London and Devon.

All horror is psychological. Today we discuss our favorite horror books from 2022 including The Exorcist, Audition, The Snowman, The Jigsaw Man, A Head Full of Ghosts, The Last House on Needless Street, Men Women and Chainsaws, Secrets in the Dark, The Troop, Confession of a Serial Killer: The Untold Story of the Dennis Radar, plus our very own trivia game Horror Facts with Cath.

Are you a city mouse or a country mouse? That's the question at the heart of my conversation with Charlotte Northedge. Her new novel, The People Before argues that though the city may be a hassle, it's a lot less scary than what waits out there in the fields and farmhouses of this pleasant land. Charlotte is very much a city mouse. She's also the Head of Books for The Guardian Newspaper, which makes her superbly well-euipped to talk about fiction in general, and this is an episode that really gets into the Gothic tradition of which The People Before is part. We talk about the unique nature of the female gothic, domestic loads and mortgage terror, the economics of haunted houses, and I stand by my argument that rural axe-murders are fairly rare.Enjoy! The People Before was released on November 10th by HarperCollinsOther books mentioned in this episode include:The House Guests (2021), by Charlotte NorthedgeThe Last House on Needless Street (2021), by Catriona Ward Sundial (2022), by Catriona Ward The Fell (2021), by Sarah MossThe Haunting of Hill House (1959), by Shirley JacksonRebecca (1938), by Daphne Du MaurierThe Turn of the Screw (1898), by Henry James Support Talking Scared on PatreonCome talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Support the show

Well, we made it to the end of this nightmare of a year. And though there has been plenty of horrific stuff along the way – war, plague, corruption … literal armed insurrection, at least the fictional horror has been fun. To commemorate a special year in horror, I'm getting the band back together. Sadie  Hartmann, AKA Mother Horror, and Emily Hughes of Tor Nightfire (and various other parishes) join me to talk about the stuff they have loved from the second half** of 2021. **if you missed our coverage of Jan-June, you can find it in episode 46.We pick the books that really stood out for us, plus many more that we enjoyed. We discuss the TV and movies that have shaken and stirred us since July, and we look ahead to the bright (dead)lights of horror to come in the New Year. We also pick apart some thorny issues plaguing the genre, like the ridiculousness of rating books by stars, and my own irritation at everything being compared to Get Out.Each of the books we mention is listed below, including an episode number if it has been previously featured on Talking Scared. Don't look at that yet though; it'll spoil the surprise.Enjoy, and well done for getting through the year. Books pickedMy Heart is a Chainsaw (2021), by Stephen Graham Jones **ep 54Revelator (2021), by Daryl Gregory When Things Get Dark: Stories Inspired by Shirley Jackson (2021), ed. by Ellen Datlow **ep 66Cackle (2021), by Rachel Harrison When the Reckoning Comes (2021), by Latanya McQueenThe Spirit Engineer (2021), by A.J West **ep 71Come With Me (2021), by Ronald Malfi **ep 49The Deer Kings (2021), by Wendy N.

Catriona Ward won the August Derleth Award for Best Horror Novel for her debut, Rawblood, and again for Little Eve, making her the first woman to win the prize twice. Little Eve, which also won the Shirley Jackson Award for Best Novel, will soon be republished. Her latest novel, The Last House on Needless Street, has received rave reviews and became an instant bestseller.We loved chatting with Catriona and hearing about how she tackles writing about the horror in her novels (clue: make sure you have some time to do other things as well!) We also hear about the long seven year journey to get her first novel published, and how that process contrasts with her writing approach now. There's also time to chat briefly about the upcoming film adaptation of The Last House on Needless Street!Links:Buy Catriona's books now!The Page One Podcast is brought to you by Write Gear, creators of Page One - the Writer's Notebook.

The Last House on Needless Street is the final book in Richard and Judy's Autumn Book Club collection. It's the story of a murderer, a stolen child, and revenge. An unspeakable truth binds the family that live in the last house on Needless Street, but a new neighbour is intent on uncovering the truth. Award-winning author Catriona Ward joins Richard and Judy to discuss why she feels the horror genre historically has a problematic relationship with mental health, and why you actually have to be incredibly empathetic to write a good horror book. Plus, she explains the hugely important and clever function Dissociative Identity Disorder serves in people's lives as a protection mechanism from trauma and abuse.

Oh eck! This week I get very northern and my working class roots come to the fore.It's all my guest's fault. Tina Baker, the author of Call Me Mummy, is an infectious presence. My typical transatlantic restraint falls away and I follow Tina down endless rabbit-holes – her time as a TV presenter, her childhood mishaps, her cats!Thankfully, her book is fantastic, and gives us something to focus on at least a little.Call Me Mummy is a dark psychological tale of stolen children, toxic media, mental illness and class warfare. That's a lot to fit into one book but, as you'll hear, I think Tina pulls it off with aplomb, and delightful black humour. A warning, this episode does feature discussion of infertility and miscarriage. Tina, of course, delivers her own personal experiences with typical good humour, but it is worth mentioning. We also talk about ideals of parenthood, social media trolls, alcoholism, welsh nuns, babies with horns, and the particular British disdain for the middle classEnjoy!Call Me Mummy was published in paperback on 2nd September by ViperOther books mentioned in this episode include:The Last House on Needless Street (2021), by Catriona WardShuggie Bain (2020), by Douglas StuartSupport the show on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/TalkingScaredPodCome talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com.Download Novellic on Google Play or Apple Store.

This week we're doing something different. No author and no single book. Instead it's a roundtable discussion, with Sadie Hartmann (AKA Mother Horror) and Emily Hughes, the genius loci behind Tor Nightfire. Together we look back over the last six months – the highs, the not-so-many-lows and all the endless twitter controversies – to address the state of the horror nation at the midpoint of 2021.All three of us talk about the books we have loved the most so far this year, what else we are looking forward to in the months ahead, and what our hopes are for horror writing in general. We also address the concerns around trauma, trigger warnings, twitter subtweeting and the endless, vice-like grip of Goodreads. If you want to get a true sense of the breadth and depth of the horror being created right now, then this is designed for you. Also, if you just want to listen to three horror nerds talk about scary stuff whilst you do the ironing, then it's also for you.Basically, it's for everyone. Cos I'm a giver. Enjoy!Emily Hughes' list of horror books to be excited about in 2021 is HERE. The (huger-than-normal) list of books mentioned in this episode includes:The PicksHearts Strange and Dreadful (2021), by Tim McGregorGoddess of Filth (2021), by V.
