About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Sarah Clegg about Christmas monsters and dark festive traditions in Britain and Europe.

Join us as we chat to Sarah Clegg, author of The Dead Of Winter, about Christmas monsters and the deliciously dark festive traditions that are woven through the history of Britain and Europe. This may not be one to listen to with little ears around, as a few of these monsters have some fiendishly grisly habits!
