Hallowed Deadly Seeds w/ Amber Hathaway

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.

The Fourth Wife w/ Linda Hamilton

In a conversation that we found to be absolutely fascinating and fantastic, Linda Hamilton discusses her Mormon Gothic novel The Fourth Wife. This is a creepy, atmospheric book with richly layered characters. And in our conversation, she delivers a masterclass in Mormon history and how it influenced this novel and why it is such an important subject to study when looking at religious trauma, patriarchy, and other issues in today's society.

Dopefoot w/Joshua Millican

Dopefoot is a singular experience. Cryptids, cannabis, found footage, Lithuanians, this book has it all. It's one of those books that when you're finished with it, you want to recommend it to everyone but have a hard time summing it up in just a singular sentence or two, because there is so much going on. Listen as we get to the heart of belief, character, and the power of storytelling.

The Dead of Summer w/ Ryan La Sala

To quote the tagline from the classic 80s movie Say Anything, to know Ryan La Sala is to love him, and you are all about to get to know Ryan La Sala. The Dead of Summer, which is getting a beautiful paperback release in July, is also getting a sequel, Bodies of Water, coming next April. So, make sure that you're caught up and read The Dead of Summer right now, it's obviously the perfect time for it. This conversation was one of the most delightful that we've had, and we think that you are going to feel the same way!
