#42 - How games influenced The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle - an interview with Stuart Turton

We're doing something a little different this episode - senior staff writer Robert Purchase (@Clert on Twitter) recently interviewed 2018 Costa First Novel Award Winner Stuart Turton (@stu_turton on Twitter) about how a lifelong diet of games influenced his book, murder mystery the Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle - often without even realising it - for a piece on Eurogamer.net. As a lot that hit the cutting room floor in the writing and editing process, we turned the interview into a podcast. Whether you've read the book or not, it offers some great insight into how books and creative projects like this come together, and if you have, there's a bonus spoiler-heavy chat towards the end that might help address (some!) of the mysteries remaining in the story. We had to ask! You can read Bertie's piece here: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-02-06-how-a-lifelong-diet-of-games-influenced-the-seven-deaths-of-evelyn-hardcastle
