Summary: Today Holly is joined by a special guest - Sara Hildreth, the creator behind FictionMatters - a literary Instagram account, newsletter, and book club focused on putting thought-provoking books into the hands of adventurous readers. Sara also co-hosts Novel Pairings, a podcast dedicated to making the classics readable, relevant, and fun. As a former English teacher, Sara's literary knowledge and thoughtfulness has greatly enriched the reading lives of thousands, including Holly's. Keep an eye out for Sara's Paperback Summer Reading Guide 2024 and the Novel Pairings summer readalong of Les Miserables by Victor Hugo!  Topics Discussed: Genre Fiction (2:03): For Sara, Genre Fiction signals to the reader that it will be following certain templates, patterns, and tropes. There are expectations set through the genre, which is why some genre fiction is the most disappointing for readers because of those expectations.  No genre or designation is mutually exclusive - romances and mysteries can also be literary. Sara underlines that a lot of genre designations are more about marketing the books than they are about the actual content.  Genre fiction is important; to be a good reader of literary fiction you should know a lot about genre fiction. Genre fiction is a playground for tropes and knowing and understanding them can help readers recognize when authors are doing things with those tropes.  Dark Literature (15:37): When Sara thinks of “Dark Literature,” she thinks of darker themes that explore those aspects of human nature and relationships. It can also describe the atmosphere of a book - think dark academia, for example. However, for Sara this remains loosely defined and really targets the “vibe” more than a hard definition.  Sara divides books in her mind between Light and Dark and Cold and Warm. Less of a fan of Light books, Sara does appreciate Warm and Cold books that have more or less heart and emotional depth. There can be aesthetic darkness without being psychologically bleak, and a lot of readers are drawn to subgenres like “cozy horror” that fit in different places in the quadrants.  Gothic Literature is often hallmarked by a heroine in a creepy house as she explores her own psychology. Sara extends the definition to books that play with the interior vs. exterior trust and reliability of a protagonist and macabre settings with a sprinkling of horror tropes to explore human motivation and psychology.  Classic + Modern Dark/Literary Books (24:49): Classic: Beloved by Toni Morrison The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson Frankenstein by Mary Shelly Modern: Never Let Me Go by Kazu Ishiguro Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado In the Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward The Keep by Jennifer Egan Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia Hot on the Shelf (41:51):  Sara: This Strange Eventful History by Claire Messud What's Making Our Hearts Race (44:21): Sara: Top Chef on Bravo   Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com   If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

Welcome to another Script Club episode of Script Apart, in which storytellers we admire pick a film or show they love and talk about why it's special. Today, revered Folio Prize-winning author Carmen Maria Machado (Her Body and Other Parties, In The Dream House) breaks down the dystopian delights of Alfonso Cuarón's Children Of Men, co-written with Timothy J. Sexton, David Arata, Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby. Based on a 1992 novel by P.D James, this 2006 action thriller forecast a Britain in the mid-2020s on the verge of collapse, governed by a party waging a cruel war on asylum seekers as a distraction from its problems. The UK may not currently be staring down a fertility crisis like the one depicted in Cuarón's film, but Children Of Men was, in other ways, eerily ahead of its time in some of its predictions. In the spoiler conversation you're about to hear, Carmen shares what she finds so impactful about the tale, and the influence it has had on stories of her own, such as 2017's chilling Inventory.  Carmen is one of Al's favourite working writers, and someone whose work has been a north star in his own fiction, so we were delighted to have her on the show, breaking down a drama that only grows more relevant with each passing year.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

It's our first episode of 2024, and as usual we're kicking it off with last year's final book club book. In episode 137, we're talking about The Dangers of Smoking in Bed by Mariana Enriquez. It's a fantastically strange and creepy collection of short stories, so of course we loved it.Show NotesNeither of us knows enough about Argentinian history, so some of the sociopolitical context goes over our heads, but it's clear that the disappearances during Argentina's Dirty Wars have a significant influence on some of the stories.Jette has never used a Ouija board. It seems to be one of those things that people are genuinely afraid to use. We don't need to accidentally conjure malevolent spirits! (Power to the teenage girls who are trying to though.)Our next book club book is Jette's pick, and we're reading Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson. There's witches and gender stuff and the corruption of power. It sounds like it's going to be great. We'll be talking about that one in March.We'll be back in two weeks with a graphic novel. It was TBD when we recorded, but we've since decided to read Flung Out of Space by Grace Ellis and Hannah Templer. It's a reimagining of real life author, Patricia Highsmith, and her inspiration for the classic lesbian novel, The Price of Salt.Until next week, check out our latest blog post all about the thrillers you can cozy up with this winter and keep an eye out for Gen's round up of anticipated reads for 2024.Other Books MentionedBy Mariana Enriquez – Things We Lost in the Fire, Our Share of NightSalt Slow by Julia ArmfieldLesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century by Kim FuHer Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado Don't forget to follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter or email us at hello@anotherbookontheshelf.com.

In today's episode, I speak to the writer Avery Carpenter Forrey, who wrote the fun & enjoyable debut novel “Social Engagement”. It's a young woman's journey to getting married that is full of obstacles & revelations. At first glance, this may seem like standard chick-lit fare but I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a darker undertone to this work that gave it an interesting shape. Aside from struggling with the aftermath of a past relationship as well as family trauma, the young woman at the heart of this novel deals with an eating disorder, and there's a whole angle of body symbolism that gives it an unusual flavour. It is Edith Wharton in the age of TikTok, with David Cronenberg as a cameo guest star. Its' tribe of privileged Upper East Siders are well-defined and certainly more palatable than the brats of Bret Easton Ellis, and it's no spoiler to reveal that the wedding at the heart of this novel is a total car crash – and who doesn't love a good car crash at a wedding – given that the novel opens at the end.  In this episode, Avery & I talk about her work and how it came to be, and we meander down her literary path to uncover her literary influences in her journey to becoming a writer.  Books mentioned in the episode: The book that changed her mind: Never Let Me Go, by Kazuo Ishiguro (2005) The genre that she is drawn to: Carmen Maria Machado, author of the short story collection “Her Body & Other Parties” (2017) and her memoir “In The Dream House” (2019) Favourite book I've never heard of: “Notes on Your Sudden Disappearance” by Alison Espach Favourite book of the last 12 months: “The Rachel Incident”, by Caroline O'Donoghue The book that she found over-rated: “Lessons in Chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus The book she's embarrassed not to have read: “Anna Karenina” by Leo Tolstoy  The book she would take to a desert island: “You Think It, I'll Say It”, a short story collection by Curtis Sittenfeld . This is the book she was reading as she gave birth so it's got to be entertaining. She also recommends the book “Prep” and “American Wife”, a fictionalized portrait of Laura Bush, and “Rodham” an alternative history where Hilary Clinton never meets Bill Clinton.

Happy Halloween! On a very special anniversary episode of Quote Me, we pay tribute to the legendary Shirley Jackson by discussing two writers who have been directly inspired by her work. It's a clash of horror titans as we discuss and compare the influence of Shirly Jackson on Carmen Maria Machado and Benjamin Percy! Carmen Maria Machado was born July 3rd, 1986 in Allentown Pennsylvania. She is the author of the short story collection Her Body and Other Parties, memoir In the Dream House, and comic The Low, Low Woods. She is well known for crossing genre borders and creating a new genre called "Liminal fantasy." Winner of the National Book critics Circle Award John Leonard Prize, Machado has a long list of residencies, honors, and academic essays to her name. Benjamin Percy was born in Eugene, Oregon on March 28, 1978. He spent most of his formative years growing up in Oregon and it serves as the primary setting for most of his fiction. Benjamin has written six novels, as well as short stories, nonfiction essays, comics, podcasts, and screenplays. Two of his most well-known works are the horror thriller Red Moon and the post-apocalyptic quest tale The Dead Lands.

Jenny Lawson is a funny writer, but that label doesn't tell the whole story. In her three books, her "parenthetical ramblings" are hilarious glimpses into her razor sharp wit that keep you laughing long after you put the book down. At the same time, Jenny Lawson deals with deep depression that has her also writing about her struggles - sometimes just to stay alive. She writes of the “monster” that at times takes over her mind. That mind works in wonderous ways - not always helpful to her own well being - but wonderous just the same. Our bookstore this week? Well that's Jenny Lawson's too. We talk to Elizabeth Jordon, the general manager of Jenny Lawson's bookstore, Nowhere Bookshop in San Antonio.

Vox's Constance Grady talks with writer Carmen Maria Machado, whose 2017 short story collection Her Body and Other Parties was a National Book Award finalist. In this episode, which is a recording of a live Vox Book Club event, they discuss how this haunting genre-straddling collection conveys the underlying horrors of being an embodied woman, how the nation's shifting cultural mores around sexual violence are reflected in Law & Order: SVU, and how Machado's writing expresses what she just might start calling the "femme uncanny."

“I would say that I write liminal fantasy. I write surrealist work and literary fiction. I write horror. Horror is probably the genre that speaks to me the most. I feel horror is the genre that I feel the most affinity towards. For me, that is the sweet spot where the beautiful and the grotesque meet each other. It's very interesting to me, and I think encouraging people to look at certain ideas that are horrifying, making them beautiful and interesting, that intersection of beauty and pain, humor and darkness, it's the most interesting place.”Carmen Maria Machado is the author of the bestselling memoir In the Dream House and the award-winning short story collection Her Body and Other Parties.

It has been nominated for five Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress. Bo Burnham, Connie Britton, Alison Brie, and Adam Brody also appear.

this episode was made with much strength, resilience, love, and compassion--for each other and ourselves. there is tenderness here. it was not easy for us to record and so we know it may also not be easy to listen to. we offer this... TW: In perhaps our most intimate episode yet we talk about disordered eating, anorexia, bulimia, self-harm behaviors, and the toxic thinking that diet culture, white supremacy, and the cis-hetero patriarchy feed on. We believe in recovery; we believe in a kind of survival filled with thriving, but we know it can be hell to get there. Please take care of yourselves as you listen and take time to be gentle afterwards.    #artheals picks: cat- Ginny & Georgia From Netflix Cait- Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado connect w/us on IG: team: @weadmittedpod cat: @_c.h.b._ Cait: @caitcameraface Connect with us further at weadmittedpod.com and Support our show on Patreon
