Tin Whiskers

"You know where you are with evil in those stories. It’s simple. A witchy cackle, a strange appearance, a stooping walk. It makes it really easy. The baddies act like baddies, and they look like baddies. Except.. Nana has a stooping walk and laughs like a toilet unblocking... Whose warnings do we carry from the old stories, and whose do we let slip through our bones and away?"

The seventh and final of our Solstice Stories is Tin Whiskers by L H Trevail, read by Amy Tweed, edited by Michael Hall and the music is by Kai Swarvett. Solstice Stories is presented by Rebecca Mordan and is a Scary Little Girls production, supported by FEAST and People’s Postcode Lottery.
