Brought up in 1950s Jamaica the novelist Patricia Duncker, discusses the allure of the horror genre, and how she, too, is haunted by a ghostly presence.
Her new book, The Deadly Space Between, is described as a contemporary gothic fable, which draws from Sophocles's Oedipus Rex.
Film critic and author Kim Newman also joins Jenni to explain how Gothic fiction - from Mary Shelley to Anne Rice is a particularly female form, which enables women writers and readers to unleash ideas about power structures.
The Deadly Space between is published by Picador; ISBN 0330490095Dracula Cha Cha Cha is published in paperback by Pocket books; ISBN: 0671022091
