Description

Allison Dickson, who has been writing novels and short stories for more than 15 years, joins Jayson to explore our fascination with psychological thrillers. Jayson and Allison discuss how many psychological thrillers are exaggerated versions of realities that allow us to address our challenges and fears in life in a more palatable form. We touch on Gone Girl, Girl with the Train, the Room, the Handmaids Tale, Stephen King's Misery and more as we explore how these stories help us manage our real-life nightmares. Allison is the host of the Ding Dong Darkness Time and the Vintage Villains podcast.
