Barry Forshaw joins me to talk all things gothic cinema, books, crime, noir, Hammer, folk horror, as well as coming from Liverpool and not being interested in football (the true horror).
Barry is a writer on many years and many books. In British Gothic Cinema, he celebrates with enthusiasm the British horror film and its fascination for macabre cinema. A definitive study of the genre, British Gothic Cinema discusses the flowering of the field, with every key film discussed from its beginnings in the 1940s through to the 21st century.
His latest book is Simenon: The Man, The Books, The Films, available here.
