20. Classic Horror: THE WOLF MAN (1941) | With Leticia Urieta, author of the dark fiction collection THE REMEDY IS THE DISEASE from Undertaker Books

This week, the Basement Girls head into the shadows with the 1941 horror classic THE WOLF MAN. Joined by writer, editor, and community teaching artist Leticia Urieta, we discuss transformation, body horror, inherited fear, and the enduring tragedy of the monster story.

We also celebrate the release of Leticia’s newest horror collection, THE REMEDY IS THE DISEASE, and talk writing about the body, illness, terror, and what horror can reveal about vulnerability and survival.

Grab your silver bullets—or silver canes...you do you—and join us in the basement.

!!!Spoiler-heavy as always!!!
