Patrick Tarr’s debut novel puts a supernatural spin on WWII history

For years, TV writer Patrick Tarr has been writing scripts for shows like Murdoch MysteriesCardinal and Saving Hope — but his dream was always to write a book. Now, that dream has become a reality. Tarr’s debut novel, The Guest Children, is a chilling supernatural tale inspired by real-life history: the evacuation of 6,000 British children to Canada during the Second World War. He joins guest host Gill Deacon to talk about reframing these events as a ghost story.
