187 – The Carrie 50th Anniversary Deep Dive, with Nat Cassidy & Ally Malinenko

Send us a text Carrie White turns 50 years old today!   April 5th, 1974 – the day King’s debut came out, and the world of horror we know live in changed forever.    To celebrate such an auspicious anniversary, there are only two people I could invite to this party. Step up Nat Cassidy and Ally Malinenko – writers who understand King and that bitter, brutal world between childhood and adulthood.   We talk about empathy and monsters, about the horror of high school, the abject and the menstruation taboo and about how we are all living in Margaret White’s America now…   Raise a glass to the prom queen of horror. She can light her own candles.   Enjoy!  Support Talking Scared on Patreon   Come talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com  Support the show Learn more about your ad choices.
