Talking Scared
[From the Vault] Catriona Ward & The All-Consuming Spoiler Warning
•
Neil McRobert
This 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!
