067. The TV Boys - Victoria Pedretti
This week The TV Boys sit down to discuss Victoria Pedretti. She stars in, not one, but two shows with "Haunting" in the title. Coincidence? We think not.
66 – Ellen Datlow and What Does ‘Scared’ Mean Anyhow?
For over three decades Ellen Datlow has been at the centre of the horror community. She is the queen of editors, the doyenne of anthologisers, the person who gets to declare what is the Best Horror of the Year.
And she has come back to talk to me after I lost the conversation file the first time around…!
That major mishap may have been a blessing in disguise, as since then she has published two standout anthologies, dealing with very different branches of horror. Body Shocks is a bumper collection of extremely nasty body horror; When It Gets Dark is a collection of stories inspired by the life and work of Shirley Jackson. One is icky, one is spooky, one makes you cringe, the other makes you shiver. And both are packed with stellar names.
As well as discussing these anthologies, we talk about Ellen’s career in horror, how she does what she does, and what words like ‘horror’ and ‘scary’ mean to her. She talks about big names she worked with, and gives us some ideas on who the big names of tomorrow will be.
Oh, and she also lets slip that she collects doll limbs … a perfect little nugget to season this mix.
Enjoy.

We Have Always Lived in the Castle
For part three of our run of horror episodes, we take their first steps into the New England Gothic world of Shirley Jackson. Jackson, whose The Haunting of Hill House was adapted by Netflix last year, has had a lasting influence on horror. For this episode, we're beginning at the end, with a deep dive into Jackson's final novel, the chilling, 1962 tale of two sisters and a house: We Have Always Lived in the Castle.
Joining us this week is Emma Sarconi, Reference Professional for Special Collections at Princeton University's Firestone Library. Emma offers some insight into the world of special collections, including the sorts of artifacts and stories that personally make her work so special, as well as a background of Jackson's life and family to provide some additional context to this eerie tale of otherness and mystery set in small-town Vermont.
