Hilary Mantel on Beyond Black and the spirit world | The Booker Prize

Hilary Mantel’s first Booker Prize nomination came with this comically sinister tale of wicked spirits and suburban mediums in a masterpiece of dark humour. Through archive clips, we see Hilary Mantel speak to BBC arts correspondent and news anchor Rebecca Jones - filmed in 2018, at the Southbank Centre during the Man Booker 50 Festival of Fiction - and discover Beyond Black through Hilary Mantel's own words.
