<description>&lt;p&gt;Back from the dead! The Fear is back for a one off spooky special, recorded on socially distant Zoom in the strange time of October 2020.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Writer WILL MACLEAN (&lt;em&gt;The Cunning Woman, High Strangeness&lt;/em&gt;) discusses his debut novel&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;The Apparition Phase&lt;/em&gt;, described by Alice Lowe as “horror for the connoisseur”.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;We do a (very) deep-dive on his love for 1972s THE STONE TAPE, a sonic ghost story starring Jane Asher and&amp;nbsp;Michael Bryant that still has the power to chill your blood.&amp;nbsp;We also unpack his childhood fear of being stranded on an alien planet, and muse on the very real fear of going mad in mad times.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;PLUS: Horror’s often problematic representation of mental illness, and why we take comfort in scary movies in a pandemic.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Including: Doctor Who, The Fortean Times, Usbourne Guide To The Supernatural: Ghosts, Terry Gilliam’s Brazil, Saint Maud, The Shining, Rosemary’s Baby, The Yellow Wallpaper, They Live, Lovecraft Country, HR James and Shirley Jackson.
