Today I chat with Leanna Renee Hieber about her new book, AMERICA’S MOST GOTHIC, that she co-wrote with Andrea Janes. It’s about America’s haunted history through the lens of Gothic tropes. They interviewed me as part of their research, and used my interview with Neil McRobert (from the Talking Scared podcast )on my “What is Gothic?” episode in the book, so you'll recognize things you love about my show as you read. We also talk about our favorite tropes, and the respect we owe to the dead in ghost stories.
In the episode, you hear me discuss two books by an author, Erin O. Wallace, who wrote a follow up book to her first one to correct the widely believed misinformation about her haunted inn in Seguin, Texas. The first book, which does include accurate Seguin history, is Haunted Seguin. The second one, Mysteries of the Magnolia Hotel, is exclusively about the historical true crime that occurred in her inn, the ghosts that haunt it, and the truth she uncovered as she researched in archives.
