EP08. Horror Narratives
In this episode, George and Janet talk about one of George’s favorite literary genres—Horror. The many ways in which we can relate to narratives centered around otherness and the toll of trauma responses take center stage this week, as we trace Horror’s history through gothic Europe into the modern American tradition. See below for books mentioned! (Lots for this episode!)
