This will forever go down as a Podcast highlight for us. Being given the opportunity to talk with the one and only M L Rio about Dark Academia, her new book ‘Graveyard Shift', while also waxing lyrical about ‘If We Were Villains' was something me and Sophie could have only dreamed of when we started The Dark Academicals.M L Rio's novella is summarised thusly:“Every night, in the college's ancient cemetery, five people cross paths as they work the late shift: a bartender, a rideshare driver, a hotel receptionist, the steward of the derelict church that looms over them, and the editor-in-chief of the college paper, always in search of a story.One dark October evening in the defunct churchyard, they find a hole that wasn't there before. A fresh, open grave where no grave should be. But who dug it, and for whom?Before they go their separate ways, the gravedigger returns. As they trail him through the night, they realize he may be the key to a string of strange happenings around town that have made headlines for the last few weeks--and that they may be closer to the mystery than they thought.”In this episode we discuss:The rising trend of the Dark Academia genreM L Rio's writing patterns, preferences, influences and processesTHAT ENDING of ‘Graveyard Shift'The cultural and linguistic legacy of Shakespeare and his worksA sneaky little insight into the next novel, ‘Hot Wax'And a whole lot of tangents…

The story follows five night shift workers—a bartender, a rideshare driver, a hotel receptionist (oops, idk why I thought she was a librarian), a church steward, and the editor of the college paper—who cross paths in an ancient cemetery each night. On one eerie October evening, they discover an open grave where none should be. As they begin to investigate, they encounter a mysterious gravedigger who seems to be connected to strange occurrences in town.

Because its the holiday season, we're giving back by reading 1 star reviews of our favorite books. It's a different kind of pain and laughter you experience when you read these reviews that completely miss the plot of the stories you're in love with or are too obsessed with the plot to see the story the way you did. But thats literally the best thing about reading because one person's unhinged, 1-star review, is another's content, lol. We hope you've enjoyed this insane year with us and can't wait to see what this next chapter has in store.

Rio est un roman dark academia de haute voltige, certainement l'une de mes meilleures lectures à ce jour. "Oliver Marks vient de purger une peine de dix ans de prison pour le meurtre d'un de ses meilleurs amis... un meurtre qu'il n'a peut-être pas commis. Le jour de sa libération, il retrouve le policier qui l'a fait condamner. Le commissaire Colborne prend sa retraite ; mais il veut savoir ce qui s'est réellement passé, dix ans plus tôt."

The book of the moment for today's episode is If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio. Just a forewarning for those of you listening, this is NOT a spoiler-free zone. We will be discussing this book in all of its glory, which of course includes revealing the ending. M. L. Rio was born in Miami and raised in North Carolina by parents from California, and has never known how to answer the question, “Where are you from?” Her writing career began in elementary school with Reading Rainbow's Young Writers and Illustrators Contest and a story about a girl with a pet dragon and the problem of how to hide it from her parents. She picked up a pen to write her first novel at the much more judicious age of twelve. Half a dozen ‘drawer novels' later, she is represented by Arielle Datz of Dunow, Carlson & Lerner Literary Agency, Inc. Her debut novel, If We Were Villains, was published by Flatiron Books in 2017, and has since become an international bestseller, published in ten countries and six languages. Her music writing is published in The Vinyl District. In addition to her work as a writer, she is a recovering actor turned academic. She holds an MA in Shakespeare studies from King's College London and Shakespeare's Globe, and is currently pursuing her PhD in early modern English literature at the University of Maryland, College Park. Her research explores representations of madness and mood disorder on the early modern stage. She lives in Washington, D. C. with too many books, too many records, and a mutt called Marlowe.

Welcome to Season #3 Episode #4 of That Pretentious Book Club!In this week's episode Spoons and Wheezy discuss a new favorite (and the first book reviewed by the pod to receive over 5 pinkies up from Ash), If We Were Villains by M.L. Rio. This New Adult thriller-meets-mystery-meets-play-meets-drama is impeccably written, and draws from Shakespeare as a primary source of inspiration. In fact, the author's way of weaving the bard's words into this drama set primarily in 1997 may make you consider giving his works another try. Recorded remotely, this episode jumps right in to the story - and although all TPBC episodes are spoiler-y, just a warning that this is a book you might want to read first since it's a mystery - but we wouldn't dare tell you how to listen to podcasts.Pour yourself a cup of tea, raise a pinky, and join the club for this discussion of If We Were VillainsSkippers jump to 17:05Visit us at storysirensstudio.com or find us on social media @thatpretentiousbookclubCheck out our sister podcast The Scripturient Society for writers!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/storysirensstudio)
