E82: "The Benevolent Society of Ill Mannered Ladies" with Alison Goodman

Today I have Alison Goodman on the show to chat about her regency adventure and mystery novel, “The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies.” We discuss how she flips gothic tropes to tell a new kind of story, how she writes agency into this book about middle aged women in a time with they had so little of it, and how she portrayed diversity in a historical London setting. This book was such a good time, and you can order it through my online bookshop, which helps support both the podcast as well as independent bookstores nationwide.

E81: Katrina Monroe and "The Graveyard of Lost Children"

 

Today I have Katrina Monroe on the show to chat about her new horror novel, “The Graveyard of Lost Children.” I do chat with her more about the horror of real life at various stages of pregnancy and motherhood than we do about the fictional horror elements of her novel, but we do get into the changeling a bit too. You can order Katrina’s books through my online bookshop, which helps support both the podcast as well as independent bookstores nationwide. You can also help out the show by following me on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, and leaving me a review wherever you get your podcasts. Thanks for joining me today.
