Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Emily Connelly discuss how narrator André Santana skillfully performs Chuck Tingle's thrilling Hollywood horror novel. Screenwriter Misha Byrne has just received an ultimatum from the studio executives — their algorithm says to kill off his beloved queer TV characters, or else. Misha refuses, and Santana captures Misha's initial angry exasperation, then his escalating terror as he suddenly faces deadly characters from his horror films. Scripts of certain mysterious scenes are performed by a full cast of authors. It's both a spine-tingling horror story and a moving exploration of queer identity, humanity, and storytelling.  Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile's website.

This week Sarah and Katie (wait whomst? guest host filling in as Cyrus is sequestered in Spain!) discuss two books that are basically the same idea, prepared two different ways: Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne M. Valente and The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey. We talk about the horror of marriage, the horror of cyclical violence, the horror of being treated like a thing, and the Westmoonster Dog Show, which is the setting of a movie we're pitching about the class system and also a werewolf who competes in dog shows. Thanks again to Katie for filling in!

This leads to a feeling closest to the "unplanned" type. Mastermind: RIVER OF TEETH by Sarah Gailey (its sequel is TASTE OF MARROW)Alternate history with hippo farming in the American South. I recommend getting the duology in the collected volume AMERICAN HIPPO Pre-Assembled: JADE CITY by Fonda Lee (also its sequel JADE WAR, I'll be shocked if this is totally absent from the forthcoming conclusion JADE LEGACY)Lots of people have their own great reasons to steal lots of things in this epic clash between two powerful warring families. If I remember most of them knew each other before they their various thieving escapades, but it's possible that you could argue individual scenes fit "unplanned" or "mastermind" better. FEED, DEADLINE, BLACKOUT, and FEEDBACK by Mira GrantZombies, Politics, and Blogging. DEADLINE is the most thoroughly a heist story but the whole series is worth reading. BENEATH THE CITADEL by Destiny SoriaFantasy story about revolution, loss, and memory. TASTE OF MARROW by Sarah Gailey (sequel to RIVER OF TEETH)Alternate history with hippo farming in the American South. I recommend getting the duology in the collected volume AMERICAN HIPPO CONFESSIONS OF THE FOX by Jordy RosenbergTrans retelling of notorious thieves Jack and Bess. I'm unsure whether this is just the framing or if it's actually retelling an existing story, but either way I loved it. Hero Needs A Crew: THE SPACE BETWEEN WORLDS by Micaiah JohnsonDimensional time travel story following an initially-lone hero who ends up assembling a group around her in order to pull off the big event. A mix of solo and group heists. TIMEKEEPER by Tara SimA clocktower mechanic is trying to get his father back by fixing time. Cool heists in otherwise non-heist books/anthologies: "The Takeback Tango" by Rebecca Roanhorse in the anthology A UNIVERSE OF WISHES edited by Dhonielle ClaytonThe story itself is a fantastic single-person heist in the midst of an otherwise non-heist anthology. "A Drop of Stolen Ink" by Emily Lloyd-Jones (retelling of "The Purloined Letter" by Edgar Allan Poe) in the anthology HIS HIDEOUS HEART, edited by Dahlia Adler LEGENDBORN by Tracy DeonnModern-day Arthurian retelling. Contains a two-person heist partway through. THE WEIGHT OF THE STARS by K. AncrumSapphic romance: A girl yearns to travel the stars but thinks she must be content with her responsibilities on Earth. THE WOLF OF OREN-YARO by K.S. VillosoA queen journeys to meet her estranged husband and then has to flee from assassins in a strange land.

WWAR October 2023Show NotesToday is WWAR for October and our theme is Horror or Spooky reads.Tracey reported on Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey. Just Like Home is a darkly gothic thriller perfect forfans of Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House as well as HBO's true crime masterpiece I'll Be Gone in the Dark.“Come home.” Vera's mother called and Vera obeyed. In spite of their long estrangement, in spite of thememories ― she's come back to the home of a serial killer. Back to face the love she had for her father andthe bodies he buried there, beneath the house he'd built for his family.Coming home is hard enough for Vera, and to make things worse, she and her mother aren't alone. Aparasitic artist has moved into the guest house out back and is slowly stripping Vera's childhood for spareparts. He insists that he isn't the one leaving notes around the house in her father's handwriting... but whoelse could it possibly be?There are secrets yet undiscovered in the foundations of the notorious Crowder House. Vera must face themand find out for herself just how deep the rot goes.She then touched on Mary by Nat Cassidy (Tor Nightfire 7/22). Mary is a quiet, middle-aged woman doingher best to blend into the background. Unremarkable. Invisible. Unknown even to herself.But lately, things have been changing inside Mary. Along with the hot flashes and body aches, she can't lookin a mirror without passing out, and the voices in her head have been urging her to do unspeakable things.Fired from her job in New York, she moves back to her hometown, hoping to reconnect with her past andinner self. Instead, visions of terrifying, mutilated specters overwhelm her with increasing regularity and shebegins auto-writing strange thoughts and phrases. Mary discovers that these experiences are echoes of aninfamous serial killer.Then the killings begin again.Mary's definitely going to find herself.Ann reported on the book Holly by Stephen King (Scribner 9/5/23). It really isn't a horror novel but itdoes have a very spooky vibe.Stephen King's Holly marks the triumphant return of beloved King character Holly Gibney. Readers havewitnessed Holly's gradual transformation from a shy (but also brave and ethical) recluse in Mr. Mercedes toBill Hodges's partner in Finders Keepers to a full-fledged, smart, and occasionally tough private detectivein The Outsider. In King's new novel, Holly is on her own, and up against a pair of unimaginably depraved andbrilliantly disguised adversaries.When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency hoping for help locating her missing daughter,Holly is reluctant to accept the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has justdied. And Holly is meant to be on leave. But something in Penny Dahl's desperate voice makes it impossiblefor Holly to turn her down.Mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. They are thepicture of bourgeois respectability: married octogenarians, devoted to each other, and semi-retired lifelongacademics. But they are harboring an unholy secret in the basement of their well-kept, book-lined home, onethat may be related to Bonnie's disappearance. And it will prove nearly impossible to discover what they areup to: they are savvy, they are patient, and they are ruthless.Holly must summon all her formidable talents to outthink and outmaneuver the shockingly twisted professorsin this chilling new masterwork from Stephen King.Her second book is much more or a horror novel. She reported on the book Knock, Knock, Open Wide byNeil Sharpson. (Tor Nightfire 10/3/23)Knock Knock, Open Wide weaves horror and Celtic myth into a terrifying, heartbreaking supernatural tale offractured family bonds, the secrets we carry, and the veiled forces that guide Irish life.Driving home late one night, Etain Larkin finds a corpse on a pitch-black country road deep in the Irishcountryside. She takes the corpse to a remote farmhouse. So begins a night of unspeakable horror that willtake her to the very brink of sanity.She will never speak of it again.Two decades later, Betty Fitzpatrick, newly arrived at college in Dublin, has already fallen in love with thedrama society, and the beautiful but troubled Ashling Mallen. As their relationship blossoms, Ashling goes togreat lengths to keep Betty away from her family, especially her alcoholic mother, Etain.As their relationship blossoms, Betty learns her lover's terrifying family history, and Ashling's secret obsession.Ashling has become convinced that the horrors inflicted on her family are connected to a seemingly innocentchildren's TV show. Everyone in Ireland watched this show in their youth, but Ash soon discovers that no oneremembers it quite the same way. And only Ashling seems to remember its star: a small black goat puppetwho lives in a box and only comes out if you don't behave. They say he's never come out.Misty reported on the book “The 2ndGrave On the Left” by Darynda Jones. It is the second book in theCharley Davidson Mystery series. (St. Martins 8/2011)When Charley Davidson and Cookie (her best friend/receptionist) have to track down a missing woman, thecase is not quite as open and shut as they anticipate. A friend of Cookie's named Mimi disappeared five daysearlier. This friend then sends Cookie a cryptic message telling them to meet her at a nearby coffee shop. Thecoffee is brewing, but Mimi's still missing. There is, however, a clue left on the bathroom wall: a woman'sname, scribbled by Mimi. Mimi's husband explains that his wife had been acting strange since she found outan old friend of hers from high school had been murdered a couple weeks prior. The same woman Mimi hadnamed in her message.Meanwhile, Reyes Alexander Farrow (otherwise known as the Son of Satan. Yes. Literally) has left hiscorporeal body and is haunting Charley. He's left his body because he's being tortured by demons who wantto lure Charley closer. But Reyes can't let that happen. Because if the demons get to Charley, they'll have aportal to heaven. And if they have a portal to heaven...well, let's just say it wouldn't be pretty. Can Charleyhandle hot nights with Reyes and even hotter days tracking down a missing woman? Can she keep those sheloves out of harm's way? And is there enough coffee and chocolate in the world to fuel her as she does?Here is your signpost for the most hilarious read of the summer: Second Grave On The Left.TRIVIALast week's question was:Author Stephen King has become well known for appearing in film adaptations of his ownbooks.

What if the house that shaped you was a broken, haunted place?That's one of many questions we explore this week, in the company of Sarah Gailey. Their 2022 hit, Just Like Home is out in paperback and … hell … do we get our fingers right into its dusty, cobwebbed corners! We talk about serial-killing fathers and monstrous mothers, the power and pitfalls of descriptive prose. We discuss Freudian metaphors and the profound fears of childhood, offer a fresh take on the thorny question of unlikeable female protagonists, and I present my ‘possession' theory on the crimes of Ted Bundy (it's bullsh*t.)This is a lovely conversation about dark things.Enjoy!Just Like Home was published in paperback on May 30th by Tor and Hodder & StoughtonOther books mentioned in this episode include:River of Teeth (2017), by Sarah GaileyThe Echo Wife (2021), by Sarah GaileyMaw (2022), by Jude DoyleMonstrilio (2023), by Gerardo Sámano CórdovaThe Sickness (2023 –), by Jenna Cha and Lonnie NadlerSupport Talking Scared on PatreonCome talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Support the show

For our latest KTCO Book Club episode, writer Sarah Gailey joins us for a discussion of H. A. Clarke's YA novels The Scapegracers and The Scratch Daughters. In our conversation, Sarah and I talked about the ways Clarke's novels subvert genre expectations, about the quality of teen girls' rage, and about why these books are “capital-I Important.” Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Pocket Casts | Stitcher | Goodpods | TuneIn | RSS Support: Support our Patreon | Review on Apple Podcasts | Review on Podchaser Share: Tweet this episode | Share to Facebook Connect: Newsletter | Email | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube Show Notes: Sarah Gailey Purchase The Scapegracers: Loyalty (Washington, DC) | Mysterious Galaxy (San Diego, CA) | Bookshop.org Purchase The Scratch Daughters: Loyalty (Washington, DC) | Mysterious Galaxy (San Diego, CA) | Bookshop.org Purchase Just Like Home: Loyalty (Washington, DC) | Mysterious Galaxy (San Diego, CA) | Bookshop.org Subscribe to The Personal Canons Cookbook The Craft Sarah Gailey - When We Were Magic Maggie Tokuda-Hall - Squad Euphoria How different generations react to a gay character being introduced Holly Black - The Cruel Prince Mark Russel & Mike Feehan - Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles Transcript Episode Credits Editing/Mixing: Mike Sakasegawa Music: Podington Bear Transcription: Shea Aguinaldo

Summary: Happy Valentine's Day, friends! While neither Holly nor Devin are superfans of this holiday, they wanted to take some time to highlight marriage with two books this week. Oddly enough, Holly's thriller wheelhouse is chockablock full of married couples on the rocks, but Devin's romance genre almost never centers on a couple that have already found their happily ever after. All told, though, they find the relationship dynamics of a marriage as great drivers of plot and character across genres.    Topics Discussed: The Heart (3:09): Devin discussed The Bromance Book Club by Lyssa Kay Adams, a novel that turns most romance novels on its head by centering on a man working to save his marriage via an unusual book club. Gavin Scott is Nashville Legends second baseman who thinks he has it all - a loving wife, twin daughters, and a career he loves. When Thea admits that their intimate relationship has never satisfied her, he's left desperate and on the path to divorce. To save it, he ends up in a circle of men who read romance novels to give them advice on how to navigate their relationships with their wives. Devin's key takeaways were:  This is the first novel focused on men reading romance stories that Devin has been able to find, and the new perspective on the genre was refreshing and invigorating. She'd rather men not have to read romance novels to act as “manuals” for their own love lives, but hey, she'll take it. Gavin's wife Thea carries trauma that adds feasibility to the storyline. Her sister, however, was so anti-Gavin and pro-divorce that at times it was off-putting and unnatural.  Adams had a feminist focus throughout the book and clearly strove to drive messages home about intimacy, vulnerability, and relationships. It was preachy at times but ultimately the execution on the rest of the novel was a success.  The Dagger (17:44): Holly discussed The Echo Wife by Sarah Gailey, a sci-fi novel following Evelyn Caldwell, a scientist who has discovered how to clone human adults. Her recent awards and professional success is marred when she discovers that her soon-to-be ex-husband has been cheating on her… with a clone of herself named Martine. As Evelyn works to process these recent life changes and come to terms with everything, she gets a call one day from a panicked Martine; it turns out Nathan is dead and the two women must come together to clean up the mess and hide the crime. Holly's key takeaways were:  With a fairly unusual premise, this novel dives deeply into key themes and commentary of our society, principally gender norms for women and women in marriage. Gailey explores what it means to be a woman through Evelyn and her clone, a woman re-programmed to be more docile and subservient than Evelyn is naturally.  Through the science of cloning, the reader also confronts ideas and challenges around identity - what makes you, you? What role does biology vs. experience play in making us who we are, and how much of a choice do we have?  Be mindful if you are sensitive to gore, and make sure you listen through the very end of our episode for a spoiler-filled tidbit from Holly that blew Devin's mind!  Hot On the Shelf (35:52): Devin: Lunar Love by Lauren Kung Jessen Holly: Elsewhere by Alexis Schaitkin What's Making Our Hearts Race (38:05): Devin: Glass Onion on Netflix Holly: Fleischman is in Trouble on Hulu    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.

WARNING: This podcast is a paid advertisement, for a book. The payment for the advertisement that this podcast is was the book that this podcast is advertising. So, it's not really “paid,” in the sense that the IRS should not worry about this. In this very special episode of Marooned on Mars, we discuss the recently released anthology Tomorrow's Parties: Life in the Anthropocene, edited by Jonathan Strahan and published by MIT Press. We manage to touch on every story in the collection, at least in passing! And in this episode we try our best to minimize spoilers, considering the format of the texts we're reading and their recent publication. Featuring stories by Meg Elison, Tade Thompson, Daryl Gregory, Greg Egan, Sarah Gailey, Justina Robson, Chen Quifan, Malka Older, Saad Z. Hossain, and James Bradley, artwork by Sean Bodley, and an interview with Kim Stanley Robinson, Tomorrow's Parties touches on many themes that that should be familiar to our listeners: political economy and ecology, trying to make history while living with the legacies of the past, the weirdness of being burdened with a body, capitalism and wage labor. Described by Strahan in the introduction as neither hopepunk nor material for doomscrolling, the stories here are imaginative and engaging, and well worth checking out (if you're into that kind of thing). Next up we'll be doing a deep-ish dive into Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune, 2052-2072, by M.E. O'Brien and Eman Abdelhadi, published by Common Notions. There will be spoilers, so buy it and read it! (You won't be sorry!) Thanks for listening!

Drone. The word has come to mean so many things. An eye in the sky. A hobbyist flying toy. A dangerous voyeur. A weapon of war. An enforcer. A worker. But a worker that's maybe not as soulless as the name implies. As AI gets more sophisticated and the subroutines become rote… might it be possible to convert the electronic oppressor?Today on Cyber, we've got something special. Motherboard has published a book! It's called Terraform and it's out now. It's a collection of short stories about the near future and the dystopian present. With me today on the show are the book's editors, Claire L.
