My guest for this episode is the Reverend Peter Laws. Peter is not only a church minister but also an author, journalist, public speaker and podcaster. He has written articles for the Fortean Times and has a regular film review column there. In 2018 he wrote his acclaimed non-fiction book The Frighteners , which sought to understand and defend why humans have a morbid streak and saw him investigate the human fascination with death, murder and the supernatural.  Our conversation is a wide ranging one, starting with Peter’s love of horror movies and the juxtaposition of that with his religious vocation. We also discuss his own podcast projects, along with subjects such as the nature of good and evil, demonic possession, Padre Pio and the mystical elements of Christianity, Vampires and much more.  LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED: Our conversation does contain some gruesome subject matter, which you may wish to avoid if you're not a fan of that sort of thing.
