Tanya Kirk is ghosting us

from Standard Issue Podcast Hosted by Standard Issue

Working in the 17th century gothic library at St John's College puts Tanya Kirk in an ideal position to talk about book-based ghost stories. She's just edited the latest in a series of short story collections - The Haunted Library: Tales of Cursed Books and Forbidden Shelves - so Hannah got on the Zoom to chat about why old books are spooky, why Christmas is a rich source of ghost stories, and the white gloves myth. Tanya's latest book is available here: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-haunted-library/tanya-kirk/9780712355292 * You can support Standard Issue here: Standard Issue Podcast | creating a magazine for ears, by women for women | Patreon
