Red is joined by Kate Summerscale, an award-winning author and journalist who achieved international recognition with the publication of "The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher." The book was a ground-breaking re-examination of the infamous Road Hill House case, a grisly Victorian murder that became the blueprint for the classic English country house murder story.
Since writing "Mr. Whicher," Kate has turned her forensic light onto several other seemingly inexplicable cases, including those of "Mrs. Robinson’s Disgrace" and "The Haunting of Alma Fielding: A True Ghost Story." So her most recent book might seem like a bit of a departure. But in "The Book of Phobias and Manias: A History of the World in 99 Obsessions," she offers us a series of fascinating case studies to take us on a tour of our deepest fears and compulsions.
Join Kate and Red, if you dare, as they explore foibles from arachnophobia to trypophobia with a touch of Beatlemania thrown in for good measure!
