I Don't Wish You Well


Listen Later

Grab your favorite drink and pull up a chair, because this week we are heading down to Moss Pointe, Louisiana, and things are getting messy. We’re diving into the twisty, suspenseful world of I Don’t Wish You Well by Jumata Emill.

We’re following Pryce Cummings—a gay, Black college journalist who returns to his hometown to start a true-crime podcast about the "Trojan Murders." Five years ago, the town thought they caught the killer, but Pryce isn't so sure.

What We’re Getting Into:

  • Small Town, Big Problems: We discuss the corruption and homophobia lurking in Moss Pointe and how Jumata Emill tackles identity and prejudice without missing a beat of the suspense.
  • The "I Don't Wish You Well" Energy: Who is actually the villain here? We discuss the motives of the masked killer and vent about the people in this town who definitely deserve the title of the book. How is justice served?
⚠️ Content Warning: This episode (and book) discusses mature themes including sexual assault and graphic violence. Please take care of yourself while listening!
