Special Episode: "The Nightmare Collector - Remembering Hugh Lamb, with Richard Lamb in conversation with Jasper L'Estrange"

 

Hugh Lamb (1946-2019) was a leading authority on vintage ghost and horror stories. Between 1972 and 1991 his name on the cover of a horror anthology was a sign of quality. 

His popular anthologies were most notable for bringing new and rare stories to attention, including the discovery of a forgotten M.R. James ghost story. 

In this Zoom-recorded conversation, Jasper L'Estrange talks to Richard Lamb, Hugh's son. Richard explains what it was like growing up with an anthologist as a father, what Hugh was like, how he has been able to finish his father's work, and also tells us how he brought one of Hugh Lamb's unpublished anthologies to life, and about his own adventures in screenwriting. 

I hope you enjoy this very special episode of the podcast.
