Booked All Night

We're joined by the amazingly talented Lyndall Clipstone to discuss her latest work, Tenderly, I Am Devoured. Join Jess and Maggie as they explore the intricate relationships in this haunting tale where betrothals go awry and chthonic gods loom in the darkness. Lyndall shares her experiences of blending horror, intimacy, and floral prose and the unique language she crafted for her world.

We also play Space 'Em or Embrace 'Em the game of tropes and cliches and test Lyndall's skills with a Spelling Bee. 

We also added our very first set of questions from the Libronauts on our Discord server. As a reminder, we open up a forum for every guest we have on the show so that our listeners can ask their own questions. It's free for everyone and super fun.

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.

00:00 - Welcome to Book DL Night, Season two. Each week, Jess, Katie and Maggie explore new worlds

00:29 - This episode discusses topics that may be distressing for some listeners

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

37:03 - I feel like there was over editing on someone's part in this book

39:56 - We finally find out why Ruhn was taken

43:02 - The war for Cascadia has begun. Right. The siege begin. Um, so, like, my. Yeah, whatever

43:15 - Both Cressida and Seraphine needed to be around more throughout book

44:54 - Characters just come in and go. I don't like that. Every character should have depth to them

48:18 - All of these characters being introduced is akin to inexperienced dm

51:29 - Book All Night is produced by Rob Cook and his cats

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.

Hosts: Jessica Mary, Magdalyn Ann, Aaron from Lore of the Rings, and Producer Rob
