S3: E12 Inside the Mirror Room with Horror Author & Critic Luna Gray
Description
What happens when someone who spends her career examining horror turns the mirror on herself?
Horror author, critic, interviewer, and iHorror Senior Staff Writer Luna Gray steps inside the Mirror Room for a conversation about fear, folklore, identity, and what draws us toward the darker corners of storytelling.
Luna's work explores cult, indie, folk, queer, and streaming horror, with a particular interest in how the genre reflects identity, trauma, folklore, and the people society chooses not to believe.
She's also the author of No House Is Empty, a winter folk-horror novel about a married couple attempting to host the perfect Christmas Eve party while their life quietly falls apart. When carolers arrive, old household rules begin turning the celebration into an accounting of broken vows, buried grief, debt, and everything they've tried to hide behind a beautifully staged home.
Inside the Mirror Room, we go beyond the book and the byline to explore the person behind the fear.
