“These violent delights have violent ends. And in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss, consume.” These Violent Delights (Margaret K. McElderry Books, 2020) is the debut novel by Chloe Gong. At first glance, the book seems like Romeo and Juliet transplanted to 1920s Shanghai: two rival families, and two main characters: Juliette Cai and Roma Montagov. But Chloe Gong takes the tropes of Romeo and Juliet and transforms them in ways beyond the new setting: Juliette and Roma have already had their teenage relationship, an epidemic of madness stalks the population of Shanghai, and there are rumors of a monster in the Huangpu River. These Violent Delights is a thrilling tale of intrigue and investigation, woven with horror and fantasy elements. More information can be found at Chloe's website. In this interview, Chloe and I talk about her book, and how its elements connect to the setting of 1920s Shanghai. We talk about the various ways she works in the tropes of Romeo and Juliet into the story, and some of the unintended parallels to the present day! Chloe Gong is a student at the University of Pennsylvania, studying English and international relations. During her breaks, she's either at home in New Zealand or visiting her many relatives in Shanghai. Chloe has been known to mysteriously appear when “Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's best plays and doesn't deserve its slander in pop culture” is chanted into a mirror three times.

Friends, it is with great sadness we inform you that Season 1, Episode 3: Blood & Chocolate is currently delayed by intense technical difficulties.   An explanation:   Ollie's recording was set to use THE GOOD MIC while chatting with Cyna but alas! The recording in Audacity used the built-in laptop mic. While that mic isn't a huge problem for most things, it wasn't what Ollie was aiming for when talking. So a lot of their voice got chopped up. It's awful.   So! Ollie loves you apparently? And is transcribing the entire episode—decoding their missing words like a gawd damn detective—and will then RE-record their half. This is going to take a long fucking time. And we don't want to delay putting out more episodes. Thus, we're moving on to Episode 4, the final part of Season 1.   S'all right? S'all right.   Behold! Backlist & Chill: Episode 3—wherein we rip a new asshole to FREAKS: ALIVE, ON THE INSIDE!   The fourth and currently final novel by Annette Curtis Klause, ALIVE ON THE INSIDE was published on January 31, 2006 by Margaret K. McElderry Books (paperback release in 2007 with Simon Pulse).   This is the second ACK novel that was unfamiliar for Cyna and Ollie. And... with good reason, it turns out! This episode is DOUBLE SIZED compared to our last episode.   Friends. This one is a mess of content warnings. Be sure to read those at the bottom of this post before giving a listen. Be safe!   Featuring Cyna with a drink called "Circus Freak" and Ollie with a good strong glass of time-period appropriate Absente absinthe. Intro theme - "Let It In" by Josh Woodward.   Bonus content! Have a gander at Cyna and Ollie's drank set ups via our Twitter thread.   Next time: Announcing our Season 2 author backlist! CHILLEST TIER only will have access to this episode 1 week earlier than everyone else!   IMPORTANT NOTES: We frankly discuss this book's child molestation sub-subplots from: 1:21:41 - 1:27:16 Equally, frank discussion of transphobia and TERF concepts sprinkled throughout—anything that CAN be transphobic IS IN THIS BOOK: 1:25:21 - 1:45:39 (2h 4m. Content Warning: Vulgar language and drinking alcohol from hosts; discussions of privileged entitled mediocre white boy, constant sexual thoughts of a teenage boy from the adult writer's perspective, ableism, beauty essentialism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism and misogyny, racism, "exoticizing" of people of color, male gaze sexualizing and objectifying women and potentially non-cis people, manipulative women stereotypes, girlhate, manpain, sex worker shaming, arranged marriages, fat-phobia and fat-shaming, complicity in terrible shit, appropriation of others' marginalized identities, physical and emotional abuse of children, neglect and food insecurity, kidnapping, trafficking and exploitation of children, child and adult slavery, child molestation/rape and pedophilia, children kept in filth and squalor, threats of sending a child to an asylum because of his different looks, and murder in the book.)   Psst!

Author Cassandra Clare appears at the 2011 National Book Festival. Speaker Biography: Born in Tehran, Iran, to American parents, Cassandra Clare spent much of her early years traveling the world with her family, including a trek through the Himalayas as a child who spent a month living in her father's backpack. Her unique brand of fantasy fiction has earned her a worldwide audience of adoring fans. The "Mortal Instruments" series is now in its forth installment with "City of Fallen Angels" (Margaret K. McElderry). Clare says she envisioned her latest book "as an ending to the story begun in 'City of Bones,' but I soon realized that in fact where my pen was taking me was into a new trilogy."
