Description

It's Halloween! Almost! This week, Emily tells us about Red Riding Hood inspired tale For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten, while Rebecca shares a novel based around the weird and wonderful life of Madame Tussaud, Little by Edward Carey. We talk about our favourites this Halloween season, discuss the origins of the phrase 'spooky season', and we share some snippets of our own writing. Emily also reads a few of her favourite creepy flax-golden tales!
