Anna Savory (with guest co-host Natalie Haynes)

Book Shambles Halloween Special #2

In our second Halloween special this year, Robin is joined by guest co-host Natalie Haynes and comedian, horror enthusiast and heir to Dennis Wheatley’s library of occult books, Anna Savory. They chat about said library, favourite horror films and books, Agatha Christie’s lack of respect, Shirley Jackson, MR James and why goats are upsettingly easy to kill.
 
Extended edition is available for Patreon supporters as always with this episode. Pledge as little as $1 a month and find out why Robin and Natalie don’t like Seven or Jacob’s Ladder. Head to patreon.com/bookshambles
