Leon Craig

Leon Craig, a debut novelist, dives into her provocative book The Decadence, a haunted-house tale exploring millennial excess. She reveals how the pandemic influenced her themes of betrayal and power, weaving in literary nods to Boccaccio and Shirley Jackson. Craig reflects on character dynamics, the complexity of her protagonist Jan, and the resurgence of horror in today's uncertain climate. With a blend of gothic inspiration and contemporary dread, she discusses how the house itself symbolizes exclusion and reflects societal issues.
