  • Summary

  • On episode 14 of Our First Fears, author and illustrator, Derrick Chow joins me in appreciation of the genius and creativity of beloved actress Shelley Duvall’s possibly-accidentally-terrifying television show from the 1980s, Faerie Tale Theatre. Together, we explore the connection between slasher-film final girls and faerie tale heroines, what makes a great faerie tale villain, and whether or not these old stories might have been a prototype for modern psychological analysis and therapy.

    Derrick’s debut middle-grade novel, Ravenous Things, is a twisted modern retelling of the Pied Piper legend and poem, set in the underground of Toronto, Canada, and it is available now at your local bookshops and libraries.
