"I live on art. I'm an art vampire, that's how I sustain myself."

Jacqueline Holland's debut novel The God of Endings weaves together themes of motherhood, mortality and the human condition in a vampire novel unlike any we've seen before. Holland joins us to discuss vampire lore, the power of art, how her novel grew out of a grad school novella, why you should always read the book rather than watch the movie and more with guest host, Kat Sarfas. We end the episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Madyson.

This episode of Poured Over was produced and hosted by Kat Sarfas and mixed by Harry Liang. Poured Over is brought to you by Executive Producer Miwa Messer and the booksellers of Barnes & Noble.
