Special Episode: "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what it was like growing up with an anthologist as a father, what Hugh was like, how he has brought one of his father's unpublished anthologies to life, and about his own adventures in screenwriting.
I hope you enjoy this very special episode of the podcast.
