Manage episode 294587286 series 2656252
James Smythe is the winner of the Wales Fiction Book of the Year 2013, and was shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award 2014. He is the author of, amongst other things, The Machine, The Explorer, No Harm Can Come To A Good Man, and the Australia trilogy, a series for Young Adult readers. More importantly for us at The Constant Reader Podcast, he is also a huge Stephen King fan, and his column in the Guardian detailing his epic journey to re-read and review King's back catalogue was a constant source of debate and interest. You can find more about it here, and you can buy his books here.
I really enjoyed talking to James, he's as passionate about King as you could hope for, and his dissection of The Dark Half is very perceptive. As a writer himself, James has an interesting take on what he believes is one of King's most personal novels.
This episode was hosted by Richard Sheppard, with research and support from Dr Linda Sheppard, and technical and sound production by "The Mad Professor" Stephen L. Parkes.
