On this episode of The Writer and the Critic your hosts, Kirstyn McDermott and Ian Mond, begin by discussing the state of the world, farts in jars and a possible niche side project involving uncontrollable sobbing.
The books being flensed this month are The Wych Elm by Tana French [5:10] and My Phantoms by Gwendoline Riley [37:15].
Ian would also like to make sure you know about the new short story that Kirstyn has had published in The Dark. You're welcome.

I Would Haunt You if I Could by Seán Padraic Birnie
