225 – Lucy Rose & The Cumbrian Chainsaw Massacre
Manage episode 464977009 series 2977606
Are you hungry?
Depending on your…erm… tastes, the next hour of conversation will do strange things to your appetite. Our guest is Lucy Rose, whose debut novel, The Lamb renders muscle and fat and sorrow down into a rich stew of cannibalism and rural Gothic.
We talk about how rooted this book is in the landscape, history and folklore of Northern England – and we also talk a lot about eating people. How to make it sound gross… how to make it sound weirdly poetic.
This is a book that’s gonna get people talking.
Enjoy!
Other books mentioned:
- Tender is the Flesh (2017), by Augustina Bazterrica
- No & Other Love Stories (2025), by Kirsty Logan
- The Tryst (2017), by Monique Rossey
