Episode 211: Howling at the Moon with Sally-Anne Bedford

My guest on episode 211 is Sally-Anne Bedford. Sally-Anne is an author with a long standing love of Hammer horror films and the darker stories we share. Her bimonthly Substack newletter, Into the Shadows, is a welcome addtion to my inbox. Sally-Anne's first novel, The Cure, is a dark thriller set in an ex-asylum , the very sort Sally-Anne onceworked in herself, will be released in Fall 2022 from Joffe Books.

Sally-Anne is also a massive fan of John Landis's 1981 comic-horror masterpiece, An American Werewolf in London. At a recent online gathering we both attended, she spoke about the film with such enthusiasm, I KNEW I had to have her on the podcast.

This was such a fun conversation and. Sally-Anne’s story about a trip to Blockbuster with her father is worth a download alone. We cover a bunch of topics connected to An American Werewolf in London: Sally-Anne’s childhood film tastes, the disappointing sequel, her visitng shooting locations in Wales, and her desire to own a lifesized werewolf.

You can follow Sally-Anne on Twitter @SA_Bedford;  on Instagram at @sabedfordauthor; and on Facebook. She often posts delightful pictures of her animals.

The Cure will be published in Fall 2022. Watch for it.

You should also sign up for her Substack for her amazing newsletter, Into the Shadows. It's great.
