Author and screenwriter Christian White, joined me to talk about his latest novel, ‘The Long Night’. Topics discussed included: - The suitably spooky origins and scenario that lead to ‘The Long Night’. - Stone Tape Theory and how we are tethered by trauma and stories to certain physical places/spaces. - Seeing the world and a scenario through the eyes of a creative. Em with her horror buff lens, Jodie with her painting. - Horror - the freedom it affords Christian/creatives and how it allows us to tell relatable and realistic stories. - Types of fear explored within the novel - from those typically found within a horror novel (the unknown lurking in the dark, a masked attacker) to those found within normal/everyday lives (male aggression, abused becoming abusers, related intergenerational trauma). - And heaps more! Thanks so much to Christian for talking with me about ‘The Long Night’ and everything else!
