UHA S1 E12: These Beasts

In our final studio recording of the season, Jasper explains to Kit why Tanith Lee's super-efficient dark fantasy story These Beasts absolutely belongs in The Ultimate Horror Anthology. Kit is very much persuaded. Expect discussion of the intersections of 'weird' fantasy and horror, stories written in the spirit of the aural tradition of storytelling, lengthy deconstruction of the elements that go into the perfect twist ending, and much, much more.

In our next episode, the first part of our season finale, we'll be sharing a live conversation with Robert Shearman, recorded earlier this year at the Edgelit genre fiction festival in Derby. In the first part, Rob tells us why Roald Dahl's tale Pig belongs in The Ultimate Horror Anthology. If you'd like to read the story ahead of hearing the discussion, you can find it here:
