Exploring the Gothic w/ Carmen Catena

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!

The Hospital at the End of the World w/ Justin C. Key

Listen today as we discuss The Hospital at the End of the World with author Justin C. Key. This was a fascinating discussion about technology, medical treatment, AI, and what it means to be human and why human interaction is so vital. Thank you so much to Justin for coming on and speaking with us, this is a book that we think will only gain in popularity as we continue to navigate a lot of the questions it poses.

My Lips, Her Voice w/ L.L. Madrid

My Lips, Her Voice is a book that is a favorite this year for both of us, so we were so happy to sit down and talk with L.L. Madrid for this episode! She is an absolute delight as well, and this conversation will hopefully not just make you want to read her outstanding novel, but visit Arizona and the ghost towns that inspired the book. But be careful, there might be something sticking around those seemingly empty towns, and it really is that hot!

Hallowed Deadly Seeds w/ Amber Hathaway

The Little White Flowers series is the perfect summer Religious Folk Horror read, and Amber Hathaway stops by the show to talk about these fantastic books, the second of which, Hallowed Deadly Seeds, releases on June 30th. Amber talks about the autistic character rep, religious trauma, and her other inspirations for the books. Enjoy this fantastic conversation and read both of these books ASAP!

Exploring the Gothic w/ Carmen Catena

Carmen Catena is a guest we have wanted to have on the show from the very beginning. Her insights on Gothic novels were part of the initial discussions we had when talking about the type of topics we wanted to tackle here at Horrifically Well Read. So we are so happy to share this wonderful conversation with Carmen, who will certainly be releasing her own novels someday soon as well.
