#143 - Leila Taylor Returns! Author of "Sick Houses: Haunted Homes and the Architecture of Dread"

Leila Taylor is a Brooklyn-based writer, speaker, and designer whose work focuses on the intersection of history and horror and the gothic in contemporary culture. She’s the author of Sick Houses: Haunted Homes and the Architecture of Dread (out Feb 11, 2025) and Darkly: Black History and America’s Gothic Soul, her essays have appeared in Us: The Complete Annotated Screenplay, The Repeater Book of the Occult, The New Urban Gothic: Global Gothic in the Age of the Anthropocene, and the graphic novel Bitter Root.

On this episode, Leila discusses the captivating power of haunted houses, the aptly named Brutalist architecture movement, and the irresistible appeal of the “witch house.”

Pam also talks about apotropaic house magic, and answers a listener question about amulets and talismanic jewelry.
