April 14, 2026I've Never Been So Mad About Seeing Myself in Literature - Katabasis, Part 3
Send us Fan Mail!
We finished Katabasis. Tears were shed. Screams were uttered. Angsty text messages were exchanged. One could say that we had strong feelings about it.
Along the road to discussing a well-crafted ending, Jess and Maggie examine what it means to tackle the writing of grief and frustration, the normalization of immigrant culture, Jess's obsession with floppy hats, and just who R. F. Kuang might have intended her audience to be.

April 07, 2026I Want Another Gold Star - Katabasis, Part 2
Send us Fan Mail!
Disaster strikes when Katy's bookmark gets put back in the wrong place, so Jess has to hardcore recap Part 2 of R. F. Kuang's Katabasis (with a snooty "ahhh" sound, we've learned). But in the process, they still discuss a ton of crafting notes, realistic communication of abuse and suicidal ideation, the lies we tell ourselves to get through bad situations, and the greatest paradox of all: whether or not academia boils down to our desire to be recognized.

March 31, 2026No, Actually, I AM Smart Enough for This - Katabasis, Part 1
Send us Fan Mail!
It's official. Hell is a college campus.
Join Jess and Maggie on a descent to the underworld that keeps calling them out personally. Along the way, they visit the measure of unreliable narrators (or is it unreliable perception?), far too much Mellville, the benefit of writing friends over lovers, an incredible amount of philosophy, and our love of the Only One Bed trope. It's Katabasis by R. F. Kuang, and we're loving it.

March 24, 2026History Will Remember Them As Bunkmates: An Interview with Anastasia Arellano
Send us Fan Mail!
What an amazing interview we had complete with technical issues and games that tortured our guest, Anastasia Arellano. BETWEEN THE SHADOWS doesn't come out until 2027 but you can pre-order it here.
Camp Wildflower is a summer camp for delinquent teens run by renowned psychologist Alistair Monk. And something is very amiss here.
Skylar Murphy and Olympia “Ollie” Hamilton are paired as reluctant bunkmates. Skylar, avoiding juvie after accidentally setting her ex-girlfriend’s garage on fire, and Ollie, sent by her conservative politician mother following a homophobic incident, must set aside their differences in order to navigate a camp filled with eerie occurrences and strange transformations among their fellow campers.
After witnessing bizarre and sinister activities, Skylar and Ollie’s bond deepens into something more. But that new romance is threatened when they uncover a dark secret that impends their very existence and that of the whole camp. Now, their summer romance is put to the ultimate test.
No one is coming to save them. They must do it themselves

February 10, 2026It's What You See In Your Head: An Interview With Elle G. Keating
Send us Fan Mail!
The funny thing about horror is that it's all about the images that you conjure up for yourself (but don't worry, the bedsheet will protect you!). Debut author Elle G. Keating joins us to talk about nightmares, her recently-released first book Don't Wake Up and current WIP, the road to getting published, and the subjectivity of horror as a genre in this unexpected Canadian take-over episode.
