Please note that we discuss the publication of Lauren's new book Death Lines at length, as well as its original publication date. That date has now been pushed back, but I urge you all to go here and pre-order a copy now!

In this episode we venture into Stephen King's rare excursions outside the United States, and revisit the short story Crouch End. Originally part of the Nightmares and Dreamscapes collection, this homage to Lovecraft and hate letter to London is a fan favourite. Based on his experiences living in London and writing the Talisman with the late, great Peter Straub, this story still has the power to chill the blood.

Who better to be my guide than expert in horror and London, Lauren Jane Barnett? The aforementioned Death Lines is out soon, but in the meantime catch up with her podcast here

Technical wizardy as always is by SLP, thanks very much.
