In this episode, Sarah and Jess dive into the incredible, and often forgotten, story of the San Diego Blood Sisters. A grassroots group of lesbian activists who quite literally rolled up their sleeves during the height of the HIV crisis. When blood was needed and stigma was rampant, these incredible women stepped up to donate again and again, breaking barriers and challenging the system with every drop. This is a story of solidarity, sisterhood, and serious guts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week I'm talking with the author of numerous thrillers, Vanessa Lilly, whose books include “Little Voices,” “For the Best,” and her newest book “Blood Sisters,” a thriller about two missing Indigenous women and the Cherokee archeologist for the Bureau of Indian Affairs who is searching for them, which was a Good Morning America buzz pick and a USA Today national bestseller.

We covered: - Making up stories as a form of escape - How a nagging sense of unhappiness in her 20s and 30s drove her to keep questioning what she should ‘do with her life' - The trip to the airport bookstore that awakened her desire to be an author - The joy–and terror–of having a dream - Using restlessness as a force for creative good - Channeling your childhood and your family history into fiction - The privilege of sharing stories with people who are interested - Why it's so easy to get into a lack mentality as an author - How Vanessa ended up back at square one–no publisher, no agent–after her second book came out - Finding the story you're meant to tell so that you're not “turning yourself into a pretzel to fit inside the system” - The tools that helped her get out of that lack mentality - Embracing chaos as a creative and honoring your particular process - Stepping out the capitalistic narrative that if you're not working 9-to-5, or really, 9-to-9, you're a slacker Connect with Vanessa on Instagram @vanessalillie.

Apologies to our listeners in the north of England; it's not your fault that Inside No.9, Cilla Black, the Worst Radio Times Letter of the Month and Clear Sound mode on Simon's TV made us so regionalist! Let's blame a bad mood caused by having to watch the films of Roberta Findlay for this episode. We cover Blood Sisters, Lurkers, Prime Evil, The Oracle and Snuff, while in the Horror Helpdesk we examine how far we can stretch the definition of horror.

The novelist has a way of exploring issues—putting flesh on bones—to tell stories about people that can educate, inform, sometimes inspire, and often anger. Vanessa Lillie uses that art form to shine a light on challenges facing native communities and native women, in particular.  Lillie is the author of the 2023 USA Today bestselling suspense novel, “Blood Sisters,” which launches a new series with Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and Two Spirit at the heart of the stories. “Blood Sisters” was a Target Book Club pick and GMA Book Club Buzz Pick as well as named one of the best mystery novels in 2023 by the Washington Post and Amazon. Her previous bestselling thrillers are “Little Voices” and “For the Best.” She also co-authored the number one bestselling and ITW award-nominated Audible Original, “Young Rich Widows,” and its sequel, “Desperate Deadly Widows." Lillie was also a columnist for the Providence Journal and hosts an Instagram Live show with crime fiction authors. She is an enrolled citizen of the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma living on Narragansett land in Rhode Island. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are back to college for episode 232! We start off with "The Initiation" from 1984. With a great cast including Vera Miles, Clu Gulager and Daphne Zuniga, it's a twisty little tale of a college student with a cloudy past that all comes to light during a sorority initiation. It's a solid slasher with some fun reveals. We follow that with 1987's "Blood Sisters" from director Roberta Findlay. It also focuses on a sorority ceremony with a group of pledges. They are sent to a seemingly haunted house to spend the night but things quickly go awry. It's very low budget but manages to overcome that limitation in surprising ways. Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes. You can email us at flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com. You can also reach us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
