For this week’s show, I’m joined by Dr. Miranda Corcoran, to discuss the gothic horror of The Howling Man! She teaches English at University College Cork where she also teaches American Literature. She’s taught courses on horror, science fiction, and intersections of psychology and literature. All the way from Ireland, thanks to the magic of Skype, welcome to the show Dr. Miranda Corcoran!
