How much of the appeal of Horror fiction is in the setting? How much in the world building? Today, we discuss @almakatsu’s book The Deep, where she sets us up for scares on the fatal voyage of the Titanic. And then we talk of @andaleedwajid’s horror novel House of Screams, which takes you to a historic - and storied - area in Bangalore city.
