    Ee-i, adio spooky kids, and welcome to our Robert Cormier episode, in which Ren Wednesday and Adam Whybray discuss three books by the American writer known for his 'deeply pessimistic novels'. We talk about I Am The Cheese from 1977, Fade from 1988 and The Rag and Bone Shop from 2001 (published posthumously), an unsettling, ambitious and chewy trio of novels that lean into the 'disturbing' element of our 'creepy, spooky and disturbing' purview. Transcript available here: https://stillscared.podigee.io/74-robert-cormier Content note: General discussion of dark themes and we read an extract from I Am The Cheese in which the protagonist is chased by a dog and it might be a bit intense for listeners afraid of dogs.

  • Stone Cold and Hydra

    Stone Cold and Hydra
    2025/11/10
    Happy belated 8th (!) anniversary to Still Scared, spooky kids! In this episode, your hosts Ren Wednesday and Adam Whybray are returning to the British children's author Robert Swindells, and his novels Stone Cold from 1993 and Hydra from 1991. These two very different examples of children's horror give us plenty of scope to discuss the varied expressions of the genre, and this episode's digressions include the creation of the Honey Monster, the genius of George Elliot and the surprisingly specific prudishness of pre-teens. Enjoy! And just a warning, Stone Cold is on the grittier side. There’s a serial killer character and a bit more violent. Nothing too explicit, but it’s not as fun as some of our other topics. Hydra is pretty fun though, so you can skip to the end if you just want that one, at 52.00.
