Season 2 Episode 6 A Conversation with Lucy Ashe, Author of The Model Patient

In this episode, we are joined by a very special guest, author Lucy Ash, whose latest novel, The Model Patient, was just released in April. Ash's first two novels, The Dance of the Dolls and The Sleeping Beauties, were inspired by her years immersed in the world of classical dance, while The Model Patient draws on her personal experience as a therapy patient to explore the psychology of power, trust, and self-erasure. Ash is a Brooklyn-based writer who trained at the Royal Ballet School before changing course to study English literature at Oxford University, where she graduated in 2010. Her poetry and short stories have been published in a number of literary journals and she was shortlisted for the 2020 Impress Prize for New Writers. She also reviews theater and particularly ballet, writing for the website playstoc.com.

BONUS Women After Dark Ep. 1: Shy Girl and the complicated reality of AI use in publishing

On March 14th, 2026, Hachette Book Group pulled the forthcoming horror novel "Shy Girl" from its lineup after the New York Times approached the publisher with what it claimed was evidence that the book was written by AI. Author Mia Ballard, who self-published the novel in February of 2025, told the Times in an email that she did not use AI to write "Shy Girl," but rather someone she hired to edit the self-published version did. Since the cancellation of Shy Girl, which is likely the first time a book has ever been pulled from traditional publishing due to allegations of AI usage, has sent both the publishing industry and the book community into a full-blown crash out. The controversy has spawned hundreds of think pieces, video essays, and podcast episodes from journalists, online creators, and even authors themselves who all seem to be asking the same question. Is there even really a way to truly know if a book was written with AI? The answer might not be as black and white as some would like to believe in this episode of Women After Dark. *Women After Dark is a series where the hosts of Women Are Reading indulge in some of their favorite guilty pop culture pleasures while exploring the most bizarre, controversial, and batshit insane nonsense plaguing the entertainment world that should not be discussed in the light of day. *

Season 2 Episode 4: Grief, Cults and Videotapes in Universal Harvester by John Darnielle

It’s the late-1990s in the small town of Nevada, Iowa, when Jeremy, a worker at Video Hut, gets pulled into a strange and unnerving mystery after one of his customers tells him there’s something weird on one of the videotapes. Something that doesn’t belong. Two days later, another customer comes in with the same complaint. “There’s another movie on this tape,” she says. Jeremy soon finds, that yes, in the middle of Targets, an old movie with Boris Karloff, the movie is suddenly replaced with low res, black and white footage inside of a barn that looks nearly identical to one just outside of town… Who spliced the disturbing clips onto the tapes? And more importantly...why? John Darnielle’s Universal Harvester is a deeply unsettling and atmospheric exploration of grief, in this episode of Women are Reading.

Season 2 Episode 3: A Conversation with Laura Buchwald, Author of The Book of Reservations

In this episode, we welcome author and podcast host, Laura Buchwald, onto the show to talk about her latest novel, "The Book of Reservations." The novel, published this past November, is the second installment of the Ghost Table trilogy and follows Josie Gray as she balances her new role as restaurant co-owner in New York City, circa 2000, with her ability to communicate with the spirit world. Buchwald speaks with us about the supposedly haunted restaurant that inspired her series, her writing process, how the chaotic and vibrant restaurant world of New York City plays into her novel, and how the difficult and surprising process of grieving shapes and refines us. Laura is a writer, editor, and co-host of the podcast, People Who Do Things. Her first book, "The Coat Check Girl," was released in October of 2024. In the early days of writing this book, she won the Bronx Council on the Arts Chapter One Fiction Competition. Her short story, "Hither Hills," was published by Upbeat Tales, and she has written two pieces for The Keep Things, a project devoted to the mementos we hold onto from our departed loved ones.
