One of the finest horror writers alive, Gemma Files, is on the show this week! We talk about the inspirations for her short fiction, her latest collection Blood from the Air, and Arthur Machen’s legendary story “The White People,” an essential piece of weird fiction. It all comes together for a long chat about influences, inspiration, feeling like you’re part of a secret world, and much more.
