Lucy Rose on Folklore, Feminism, and Feeding the Hunger in The Lamb

A Conversation on Unruly Women, Rural Horror, and Literary Risk

This week on Sick Sad Lit, I’m joined by Lucy Rose—author of the breakout Gothic horror novel The Lamb.

We talk about using cannibalism as a metaphor for love, writing through neurodivergence, and connecting with readers around the world.

Lucy opens up about her rural upbringing, the complexities of mother-daughter relationships, and the surreal moment Dakota Johnson put her book on the map.

Plus: what she’s writing next (hint: courage, bisexuality, and… eels?).
