Sara Pascoe has revealed her next book will be about murder.

The comic, who is currently promoting the paperback edition of her second book, Sex Power Money, made the disclosure on Channel 4's Way To Change The World podcast.

"It's ruminating in my brain but I haven't started writing it yet," she told host Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

"The people who are most vulnerable to being murdered in our society is a chapter in itself," she added.

"How vulnerable trans people are ... people seem to be quite, not all people, but people who are trans deniers or transphobics, there's these really stark statistics that they completely reject or completely ignore. And it would be a really interesting way to talk about certain vulnerabilities in society and privileges."

A self-declared "murderino", defined as someone with a borderline obsessive interest in true crime, particularly the details of disturbing murders, Pascoe has previously claimed that "it's actually very rare that I'm really into something that doesn't have murder in it".

Discussing her favourite true crime podcasts, she explained: "I found a thing that the more gruesome a murder is, the quicker I fall asleep", on Laura Whitmore's Castaway podcast in November. "Something happens that just makes me feel so relaxed and then I go to sleep."

Murder was also the subject of the opening episode of her 2018 Radio 4 series, The Modern Monkey, where she revealed that she sleeps with a hammer in her bed to fight off potential attackers.

Examining the evolutionary reasons why men are overwhelmingly far more likely to be murderers than women, she explained that "I'm obsessed with murderers because it's an aspect of human nature that horrifies me.

"And I know I'm making jokes about it and being flippant but sometimes flippancy diminishes the fear."

Sex Power Money and its predecessor, Animal, were published by Faber & Faber. It is not yet known if a deal has been struck for her third book.

Pascoe and Lolly Adefope will be among Graham Norton's guests when his chat show returns to BBC One on Friday 2nd October, and Pascoe has also been confirmed as a guest on Sara Cox's new literary show for BBC Two, Between The Covers. She will appear with Tom Allen, Phil Wang and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, discussing Sex Power Money and Matt Haig's The Midnight Library.

Currently appearing as a regular guest on Frankie Boyle's New World Order, the comic will return to BBC Two shortly with the travelogue The Last Woman On Earth, in which she investigates the world's most endangered jobs.

Her debut sitcom as creator and star, the loosely autobiographical Out Of Her Mind, in which Juliet Stevenson and Ade Edmonson play her parents and Fiona Button her sister, is also due to begin soon on the same channel.

She is also set to host two further series of Comedians Giving Lectures on Dave.
