Conor McCreery, co-creator of Kill Shakespeare and writer of the new YA graphic novel The Last Witch, joins Two Geeks Talking (after five years) to dissect the psychology of defiance, the cost of magic, and how to subvert clichés in storytelling. They explore the tactical decisions behind building a powerhouse creative team, the personal fears that shape compelling characters, and why great fantasy demands uncomfortable truths. Plus, Conor reveals the folklore that scared him, the YA tropes he’s “killing,” and the one line from The Last Witch he’d tattoo on his arm.
