My new book The Atlas of Deadly Plants is out this week, published by Greenfinch, so I thought I'd celebrate by offering up a series of mini-podcast episodes digging into some of the themes and facts from the book - just in time for Halloween!

In this mini-ep you'll hear a personal spooky story from my childhood. Who was the laughing man? Let me know your theories.

If you'd like to find out more about Gore Hill and the Martyrs burned on a pyre in Amersham in the reign of King Henry VIII, visit this page on the Amersham Museum website.
