Horror Anthology. Set during a time of witch trials and fear-driven justice, The Hangwoman explores themes of corruption, systemic power, and vengeance through the story of Elizabeth Hill, a woman wrongfully executed who returns to claim justice. This conversation dives into the deeper philosophy of horror storytelling, including why meaningful horror must reflect real-world fear, social anxiety, and the consequences of unchecked authority. We also explore the resurgence of gothic horror and why themes of “otherness” and persecution remain relevant in today’s world. If you’re a fan of indie comics, horror storytelling, and creator-driven narratives, this episode delivers insight into both craft and meaning. 🎙️ ABOUT THE GUEST Jasmine Crawshaw is a writer featured in the AHA!
