Hi! We're back! Kicking off a spooky Autumn/Winter season, today's episode features Helen Victoria Murray to discuss Lizzie (2018), a fictionalisation of the real-life Borden family murders. We talked about crime and gender in fiction, the representation of class and power, and trying to make true crime sexy.



This episode contains discussions of sexual violence, abuse and murder.
