Spooky tour guide turned financial journalist Felicity Hannah wants to know why being scared can feel so good. Why do we frighten ourselves for fun? Why do we love scary stories and terrifying TV?

She asks Neil Gaiman, author of Coraline, The Graveyard Book, Neverwhere and The Sandman – a storyteller who knows all about the power of fear to fascinate and delight us.

Felicity and Neil talk about what scares them the most, when fear loses its thrill, and, of course, ‘horror for four year olds’.

Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Sarah Goodman.
