We're joined this week by Henry Corrigan, author of Somewhere Quiet, Full of Light, a queer haunted house story feature husband and husband Mike and Eric as they attempt to flip a house that simply does not want them there.

We talked about the horror genre and all of its wants and needs, fawned over the craft of writing, played Never Have I Ever Spoiled My Own Book and Would You Rather?, and touched on the most important question: if your book gets made into a Muppets movie who plays what roll and WHO is the ONLY human character?

Somewhere Quiet, Full of Light published May 15, 2025 and is available for pre-order.

03:15 - As someone who is currently editing Heartless Hunter, there is one place

04:17 - I feel like the antagonist is taking a backseat to this story

07:14 - I feel like this section could have benefited from being stretched out a bit

12:20 - I want to see Gideon get to this point. And this is the point where we absolutely should be crossing

17:42 - Set dressing in this scene is terrible. Hopefully gets fixed in the published version

18:55 - Runuhn shows up at Gideon's apartment to steal food

22:45 - A lot of these chapters are now single scenes where we used to have multiple

24:10 - Chapter breaks are a big part of literature as you get older

25:17 - These chapters needed a lot more substance, I think

28:46 - Jessica: I wanted Ruhn to be an ordinary witch magic caster

32:55 - For most of these chapters I wanted Cressida to show up

Join us for a special mission into the enchanting world of J.R.R. Tolkien as we explore his essay ON FAIRY STORIES. Jess and Maggie are joined this week by Aaron from the Lore of the Rings podcast (RingsPodcast.com) and our very own Producer Rob from right here at Booked All Night. (Also one of his cats....)

We'll reminisce about our experiences with Tolkien's works, dissecting the lore, world-building, and emotional connections that kept us coming back for more. We talk about the importance of consistency in fantasy worlds and the impact of eucatastrophe on storytelling and Tolkein's significance in today’s literary landscape.

In this episode, we dive deep into the emotional turmoil of Rebel Witch as we explore the intricacies of love, betrayal, and the weight of past trauma. We're focusing on chapters 21-30 this week and the heated interactions between Rune Winters and Gideon Sharpe as they continue to not exactly talk to one another. Tensions rise, secrets unravel (sort of), and we get to see the very beginning of these two understanding the other (maybe). Will they learn to trust each other or will this miscommunication go on for another 50 chapters?

Tensions are high and guns are getting aimed. At Gideon. Then Rune. Then Gideon again. It's time to force these two together, there's only one cabin available it's itty bitty and you better believe there's only one bed. It's time to explore the nuances of betrayal and groan at the aggravation of miscommunication. Join us for another episode filled with laughter, Emotions TM, and bookish banter.

We're diving into the dark and twisted world of Rebel Witch, the highly anticipated sequel to Heartless Hunter that has us grappling with loss, betrayal, and the complexities of what Cressida Roseblood describes as "love." Let's dissect the first ten chapters together starting with the haunting (and repetitive) reminder that Alex is dead, and the stakes are higher than ever.
