  • UHA S1 E13: Pig
    Nov 21 2024

    In the first part of our live Season One finale, we're joined by our first guest, the wonderful Robert Shearman. In this episode, we're discussing Rob's choice for the Ultimate Horror Anthology, Pig, but Roald Dahl. Enjoy us picking apart why the critics have this story badly wrong, Dahl's legacy and style, and what makes Pig such a genuinely shocking reading experience.

    In the next episode, the final of Season One, Rob, Jasper and Kit discuss Rob's incredible short story, The Sixteenth Step.
