	Description:		What if the house that shaped you was a broken, haunted place? That’s one of many questions we explore this week, in the company of Sarah Gailey. Their 2022 hit, Just Like Home is out in paperback and … hell … do we get our fingers right into its dusty, cobwebbed corners! We talk about serial-killing fathers and monstrous mothers, the power and pitfalls of descriptive prose. We discuss Freudian metaphors and the profound fears of childhood, offer a fresh take on the thorny question of unlikeable female protagonists, and I present my ‘possession’ theory on the crimes of Ted Bundy (it’s bullsht.) This is a lovely conversation about dark things. Enjoy! Just Like Home* was published in paperback on May 30th by Tor and Hodder & Stoughton Other books mentioned in this episode include: River of Teeth (2017), by Sarah Gailey The Echo Wife (2021), by Sarah Gailey Maw (2022), by Jude Doyle Monstrilio (2023), by Gerardo Sámano Córdova The Sickness (2023 –), by Jenna Cha and Lonnie Nadler Support Talking Scared on Patreon Come talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Support the show
