Show Notes
Join me on todays episode for a discussion with of my all time favourite YouTubers/Podcasters Sinead Hanna to talk all about the genre of horror.
Sinead talks all about the origins of her love for the macabre, the psychology of horror and why and when it is common for many of us to seek comfort in it.
We talk about early horror interests - think Point Horror books, Ghost Watch and Hammer House of Horror.
Sinead also shares some of her favourite horror reads and movies overall but also for Summerween.
I have picked up a ton of inspiration on books and movies to watch through Sineads work, she really knows her onions for this genre!
