Happy Halloween! Lucy Rose on Body Horror, Madness and East of Eden

It’s STACK with Jake and… Lucy! In this special Halloween episode, Jake is joined by Lucy Rose, bestselling author of The Lamb, to discuss her writing and a stack of her very own. What draws Lucy to the horror genre? What are her favourite books about madness? And was there ever a world in which she ended her own book differently, saving Ella an immense amount of trauma?
