Scarlett Thomas and a honeymoon from hell

A cursed wedding, a honeymoon meltdown, a gaslighting hotelier, and some pretty dodgy goings on: Scarlett Thomas’s latest novel, The Sleepwalkers, is a gripping tale of catastrophe from the contents page on.  Scarlett chats to Mick about finding inspiration on a holiday from hell, the chain of blame in Big Patriarchy, trusting women, judging women, a love of wrong things, and big lash action. The Sleepwalkers is published by Simon & Schuster, out now, and a brilliant, very dark, very funny read. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
