Splish splash, we're takin' a bath on this episode of the Books Are Scary Pod! On today's special episode, Allie and Emmy are joined by their first guest, Briana Gonzalez, to talk about her short horror fiction piece, "Drain." The story follows the estranged relationship of Grace and Nicky, who invest in a nifty evil bathtub. Chock-full of empathetic characters, unsettling scares, and sweet, sweet tension, "Drain" leads the gang to discuss childhood fears, gender roles, unhealthy relationships, and more! How did Gonzalez use form to build her characters? What juicy Easter eggs did we miss? Can inanimate objects still be stand-alone characters? How will Emmy fit a Disney reference in this one? Come and see! Just remember to lather, rinse, and repeat!
Our next episode will cover "To Live in the Zombie Apocalypse" by Burlee Vang, which can be found here: https://poets.org/poem/live-zombie-apocalypse
