Horror Anthology.Set during a time of witch trials and fear-driven justice, The Hangwoman explores themes of corruption, systemic power, and vengeance through the story of Elizabeth Hill, a woman wrongfully executed who returns to claim justice.This conversation dives into the deeper philosophy of horror storytelling, including why meaningful horror must reflect real-world fear, social anxiety, and the consequences of unchecked authority.We also explore the resurgence of gothic horror and why themes of “otherness” and persecution remain relevant in today’s world.If you’re a fan of indie comics, horror storytelling, and creator-driven narratives, this episode delivers insight into both craft and meaning.🎙️ ABOUT THE GUESTJasmine Crawshaw is a writer featured in the AHA!
