Episode 40 - Horror of Fang Rock (with Steve Alexander)

Jason is on vacation this week, so here is a pre-recorded episode. We did not discuss the book cover, but this is one of the all-time great Target covers, so take an extra minute to drink that in. Jeff Cummins, everyone. Such a haunting, moody painting. Jason is joined this week by Steve Alexander (@stealexanderuk), a very familiar voice to listeners of the Trap One and the "Hamster with a Blunt Penknife" podcasts. Steve brings terrific intensity as we discuss not only "Horror of Fang Rock", both TV episode and novelization -- but also the long line of Target novelization audiobook adaptations. Steve brings with him a Top Ten list of audiobooks and his revelation of the top spot is not to be missed. Jason then reviews the novelization, in terms so glowing that the review itself could serve as a lighthouse. Also discussed this week is the fascinating 2018 Scottish film The Vanishing, based on the original Flannan Isle Lighthouse mystery. And don't forget to read the Wilfrid Gibson poem based on the same subject. Please e-mail the pod at [email protected]. You can catch all past episodes at https://anchor.fm/doctorwholit.
