Welcome to Dense Macabre, a literary podcast for horror fans, new and old, hosted by Bea Sinclair and Victoria Walters. Within its haunted halls, you will find sound literary discussion hidden between disparaging remarks about dead authors, personal jabs between cohosts, and incoherent rambling about which was better, the 1963 Haunting or the ‘90s remake (it’s the ’63). Each week will address a new book or author, as well as any film adaptation or, lacking that, the impact left on the genre. There will also be a corresponding drink recipe so listeners can sip along with us.
Come join us as we revel in some 90s nostalgia, discussing the Goosebumps series by RL Stine and the landscape of horror adults that it helped to create.
