In Series 2, Episode 10 join me, Adam Z. Robinson, and my guests, Daisy Butcher and Janette Leaf as we discuss 'The Mummy's Soul' by Anonymous, 'The Moth' by H.G. Wells and 'Butterflies' by Lafcadio Hearn from their book 'Crawling Horror: Creeping Tales of the Insect Weird'.

and Visiting Lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire. She is
currently writing up her thesis 'Cursed Tombs, Killer Blooms and
Dangerous Wombs: The Female Mummy and Plant-Woman as Monsters of
(In)fertility.' She is particularly interested in representations
of female monstrosity and body horror during the long
nineteenth-century and modern film/TV. She has presented at many
national and international conferences, guest lectured and
published on the monstrous feminine. Follow Daisy on
