The Writer’s Table | The Standing Dead with W M Parslow

This week on The Writer’s Table, Scott sits down with horror author W M Parslow to explore the chilling world of The Standing Dead—a debut novel set inside a prison where the walls hold more than just inmates… they hold secrets. From the eerie halls of HMP Page to the psychological unraveling of its characters, this episode dives into the kind of horror that doesn’t just haunt the setting—it lives inside the mind. Together, they unpack the balance between supernatural terror and real-world struggles, including a powerful conversation around mental health, particularly in men, and how horror can be used to explore those darker, often unspoken experiences. And of course, we shine a spotlight on William Lees, the man at the center of it all, his fears, his flaws, and the journey readers won’t soon forget. Connect With W.M.
