And for your listening pleasure, one of my favorite conversations of the year! Returning for her third time to the pod, Rachel Harrison discusses her upcoming release, Play Nice, which is on shelves from Berkley Publishing on 9/9! We discuss the inspiration behind the story, the fallibility of memory, the narratives others dictate, and much, much more. Play Nice is one of my favorite reads of the year, not just for how entertaining, terrifying, witty, and brilliant it is, but for its truthful examination of humanity, the good, the bad, and the ugly. We also chat about Rachel’s story and essay featured in Saga Press’ anthology, Night and Day, and Becky Spratford’s essay collection, Why I Love Horror. Forever thankful for authors like Rachel for their time and creativity.
