  • Real Life Nightmares: How Psychological Thrillers Help Us Face Our Realities with Allison Dickson

    Real Life Nightmares: How Psychological Thrillers Help Us Face Our Realities with Allison Dickson
    Oct 1 2024

    Joining us is Allison Dixon, who has been writing novels and short stories for more than 15 years, and she's the host of the Ding Dong Darkness Time podcast and the Vintage Villains podcast. We explore how many psychological thrillers are exaggerated versions of realities that allow us to address our challenges and fears in life in a more palatable form. We touch on Gone Girl, Girl with the Train, the Room, the Handmaids Tale, Stephen King's Misery and more as we explore how these stories help us manage our real-life nightmares.

    Julie Murray, the sister of Maura Murray, and I discuss our shared experience with LaDonna Humphrey, a past guest and the subject of an investigation by Javier Levia's PRETEND podcast.

Julia discusses her fear of coming forward and what changed her mind.
