Episode Description from the Publisher

In this episode I’m with author Claire Fuller. We talk about her sixth book, Hunger and Thirst, (available now!), where she’s finally come over to the fully dark side even though she has quite an extensive horror background.In our conversation, Claire unpacks the darker side of ambition and friendship, examining how themes of manipulation and coercion shape the story in unsettling ways.We also talk about her background with sculpture and how that made its way into Hunger and Thirst. I really enjoyed talking with Claire and I think you’ll enjoy her take on psychological horror, the horror community, and where horror might be heading next.Follow Claire Fuller on Instagram @writerclairefuller💀💀Follow US on Instagram @spooky.scholars💀Join the ongoing conversation and LIVE salon each month at spookyscholars.com🖤Full show notes at patreon.com/spookyscholars
