Stephen Fry's 7 Deady Sins - I will take each one of the Seven Sins in turn, lay them out on the surgical table and poke, prod, pry and provoke in an attempt to try to anatomise and understand them; I hope and believe it will be, if nothing else, delicious fun and something of a change from the usual run of podcastery.

In this episode I'm joined by Caterina Liberace, who researches into the use of Victorian architecture and décor in twentieth and twenty-first century Gothic horror. We consider how the archetypal haunted house we now associate as a Gothic house, is an trans-Atlantic incarnation, and emerged after WWII. We think about how the country house exemplifies this, and how the house also acts as a vampiric institution, creating opportunities to think about how this space is represented in literature.
About my guest: Caterina earned her BA in History and International Relations from George Washington University and an MA in European History at UCL; She currently in her final year of Modern British History MPhil at the University of Oxford, and she will start her PhD in the autumn.
Check out Cat's suggestions:
Connie Willis - To Say Nothing of the Dog, The Doomsday Book
Silvia Moreno-Garcia - Mexican Gothic
Edith Wharton - Mr Jones, All Souls
E.F. Benson - How Fear Departed the Long Gallery
Shirley Jackson - The Haunting of Hill House
Terry Pratchett - Going Postal, Making Money, Raising Steam
