" I soak myself in the only terrors that can match my own, and I, often reluctantly, leave the rest to whatever shadowed future waits for us ahead".
Matt talks to the very special author and mother Elizabeth Austin about her essay "Finding Comfort In The Horror Of Stephen King's Maine" . We explore the catharsis of horror, the darkness of the monster that is cancer and the light that still shines.
TRIGGER WARNINGS - we do talk about child cancer, depression, suicide idealisation.
