Unnamed Bones w/ Lora Senf

Lora Senf had written some of the best Middle Grade horror novels of the past decade with her Blight Harbor series, and now she written one of the best YA, and simply one of the best books of the year, period with Unnamed Bones. This is a book that is best gone into blind, but we will say it involves a lake that shouldn't be there, an island that shouldn't be there, and a group of teenagers that really shouldn't have gone to the island. It's terrifying, it's thought provoking, it's brilliantly written, and it's one of our favorite books of the year. This conversation was just as fantastic as well!

PN0K0 w/ Rachel Dempsey

PN0K0 is a masterclass in how to take a well known story and turn it into something completely new. It is a meditative look at how AI and technology is infiltrating all of humanity and the dangers that come with that. It is a thrilling and sometimes gross techno horror with some creepy robot "boys". And it is a fantastic look at how generational trauma informs our decisions and actions and how we can break that cycle. Our conversation with Rachel is far reaching and fantastic, she is such a deep thinker and there were so many "wow" moments for us listening to her. We hope you feel the same way!
