Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Mystery, Thriller, Literary Fiction, Horror, NEW WEIRD. There's a lot of genre out there. But what does any of it even mean? We have a lot of questions. And maybe some answers. (No guarantees).

This episode was inspired by two articles:

Nunnally, Mya. "A Beginner's Guide to the New Weird Genre." Book Riot. 2017 October.

Gaiman, Ishiguro. "'Let's Talk About Genre': Neil Gaiman and Kazuo Ishiguro in Conversation." The New Statesman. 2015 July.

Please ignore the fact that I don't remember how to properly cite internet articles ALA style.

Our next book discussion is going to be Turtles All the Way Down by John Green.

If only Emil Ferris could have illustrated this episode! This week we talk about the massive graphic novel My Favorite Thing is Monsters Vol. 1 by Emil Ferris, published by Fantagraphics Books. It's got some truly beautiful art and many truly twisty plots, so let's get right to it.

**Note: some sort of demon (probably Corinne's cat Murphy) got into the sound board and screwed up Corinne's mic feed while we were playing our quiz, so you'll hear that it cuts short in the episode. Sorry!**
