n this episode of Quills & Chills, I’m joined by bestselling author Emily Carpenter to talk about her new Southern Gothic novel, A Spell for Saints & Sinners.

We touch on the story setup, a young psychic in Savannah navigating inheritance, identity, and complicated loyalties, then dig into Emily’s approach to portraying magic in a grounded, family-rooted way. We also get into themes of isolation, belonging, and how setting shapes the tone. 

If Southern Gothic, witches, and grounded magic are your thing, this one’s for you.
