Amongst the bramble and the bones: An interview with T. C. Eglington and Simon Davis

Abstract

An interview with the writer T. C. Eglington and artist Simon Davis about their horror comic Thistlebone. Serialized in the British comic 2000AD from June to August 2019, the interview takes folk horror as its focus to explore the symbolic nature of the comic’s imagery, the importance of the British landscape to the narrative, alongside the subtle psychogeographic dimensions of this landscape that the myth of Thistlebone generates.
