186 – Stephen Graham Jones & The Last Stand of the Final Girls
Manage episode 410240607 series 2977606
Alas, we come to the end!
Stephen Graham Jones’s The Angel of Indian Lake brings the most important horror trilogy of the century to its conclusion. For one last time we return to Proofrock, Idaho – to watch Jade Daniels do battle with monsters in the wood and the demons in her head.
SGJ also comes back to Talking Scared to finish our adjacent trilogy of conversations about these books. We talk about slashers and final girls for sure, but as ever with Stephen, these are windows onto something more profound – and he gives us his insight into how horror, justice, violence and luck operate in fiction.
This all sounds very profound. It is. But in the coolest way possible. The man is a rock star….
… but I STILL manage to freak him out with a ghost story.
Enjoy – it’s been a ride!
