Field Ramble with Daisy Johnson and Matt Hill
Listen now
Description
This month Field is joined by novelist Daisy Johnson from the depths of her writing shed to talk ghosts, hotels and the Fen. If you get to this time of year and fancy swimming in darker waters then look no further than Daisy's short story collections. From the opening line these are stories that beguile,  disorientate and terrify. There are things in the walls of Daisy's buildings, her characters are rarely who we assume and her houses and hotels  are definitely not places to hang about. Also -  another killer publication from Dead Ink Books! Matt Hill’s Lamb -a  road trip through an England of the near future. A crumbling, menacing place where boundaries between memory and the land and the individual are all collapsing.  Matt tells us about the inspiration behind his latest novel.
