13 Stockwerke Angst. Hotels als Orte des Schreckens und Grusels.

Press/Media: Expert comment

Description

As an expert in Gothic and horror, with a monograph on the subject of haunted houses in popular American fiction, I was invited to be interviewed on a radio programme entitled "13 Stockwerke Angst. Hotels als Orte des Schreckens und Grusels"  ("13 Tales of Fear. Hotels as Places of Horror and Fear") for local radio station Okerwelle in Braunschweig, Germany. This involved sharing findings from my PhD thesis, subsequently published as The Literary Haunted House: Lovecraft, Matheson, King and the Horror In Between (McFarland 2015), with specific commentary on novels such as Stephen King's The Shining (1977).
