In Honger van Johanna van Veen opent het opdiepen van een veenlijk in Drenthe een gruwelijke reeks gebeurtenissen. Perfect voor fans van Thomas Olde Heuvelt en Stephen King. Uitgegeven door Xander Uitgevers B.V. Spreker: Elizabeth Kant

En este episodio nos adentramos en las oscuras calles de Black Spring, el pequeño pueblo ficticio del libro HEX, donde una bruja con la boca y los ojos cosidos deambula por los hogares como si fuera parte del vecindario. Pero… ¿qué pasa cuando una comunidad entera normaliza el horror?Comentamos qué nos pareció esta mezcla de terror sobrenatural con crítica social, el tipo de sustos que provoca, y por qué este libro es mucho más que una historia de miedo. Además, compartimos nuestras partes favoritas (¡y las que más nos inquietaron!), cómo se comparan con otros libros de terror que hemos leído, y debatimos el final —sin spoilers al principio, con advertencia clara cuando vienen.

O terror holandês chega ao Brasil com Thomas Olde Heuvelt.Toda cidade pequena tem segredos. Mas nenhuma delas é como Black Spring, o pacato vilarejo que esconde uma bruxa de verdade do resto do mundo. Os moradores sabem que não se deve mexer com ela. Assim como aconteceu com as bruxas de Salem, Katherine Van Wyler foi condenada à fogueira. Mas a feiticeira sobreviveu e continua rondando a cidade, mais de trezentos anos depois.

Okay, das ist etwas aus dem Ruder gelaufen. Falko hat den neuen Roman von Thomas Olde Heuvelt gelesen, der hier schon mit "Hex" und letztens erst "November" vorgekommen ist. "Orakel" beginnt damit, dass ein altes Segelschiff in einem Tulpenfeld wie aus dem Nichts auftaucht. Und wer das Schiff betritt ... verschwindet. Tolle Prämisse, und das Buch entwickelt sich zu einem immer wilder werdenden Ritt, bei dem Falko wusste: Jochen liest das nicht fertig. Wie schon November. Also dachte er, dass er Jochen ein wenig davon erzählt. Und dann ist alles so eskaliert, dass in dieser Folge nur die ersten hundert Seiten im Detail besprochen werden und einer Woche geht's weiter. Viel Spaß mit der neuen Folge!

Our hosts Chris and Amy get ~s~p~o~o~k~y~ this month as they read Echo, by Thomas Olde Heuvelt, a Dutch writer who takes inspiration from some of the greatest horror writers of our time (and it shows)! They have a lot to say about this continent spanning epic and the main character's quest to save a person's soul. This is, at its core, a love story, with more than you can imagine at stake. It just so happens to be gay, which is an exceptional treat to someone like Chris, who both loves horror AND gay things! If you like horror that seeps into your bones and keeps you thinking long after its over, this is the story for you. Thank you to Kevin MacLeod for the use of our theme song, 'Werq.'

It's that time of year again. A time to reflect, to look back over a tumultuous twelve months, and to talk about the horror books that helped us survive them.2022 has been a helluva year for the good kind of horror. Far too much for one man to cover. So I've drafted in some highly qualified friends – Emily Hughes and Janelle Janson. They have their fingers right on the arterial spurt of the genre – and they have each read far more than me.Together we deliver this year's State of the Horror Nation – talking about big issues in horror, the key books we've adored…and the dozens and dozens of titles we're looking forward to in 2023.We raise a glass to a late and beloved horror icon, we make some new year's resolutions, and Janelle and Emily get a bit squeaky about their big horror crush. Bet you can guess who (it's not me!)Thanks for all your support this year.Books picked:Ghost Eaters (2022), by Clay McLeod Chapman – ep. 110A Child Alone With Strangers (2022), by Philip Fracassi – ep. 120Echo (2022), by Thomas Olde Heuvelt – ep. 78Our Share of Night (2022), by Mariana EnriquezAll the White Spaces (2022), by Ally Wilkes – ep. 76We Are Here to Hurt Each Other (2022), by Paula D.

Een interview met Thomas Olde Heuvelt over zijn jeugd, zijn schrijverschap, zijn internationale succes, zijn boek Orakel en zijn toekomstplannen.

The iOtians chat about the Severance and From on EPIX finales! The Severance finale was nail-biting and heart-stopping! What an incredible season of TV; from the directing and set design to the casting, acting, and writing. We don't ever want to be severed, but we love Severance! :) We can't wait for season 2!Candidly, we were disappointed in the From on EPIX finale. We felt like it borrowed heavily from the Lost playbook (the mysterious hatch--er, lighthouse; the "Other's" voice on the radio; the boat at the end of season 1 of Lost that was transmogrified into a radio tower).  We didn't learn anything new about those smiley vampire people. Most importantly ... what happened to the horror?! Did  Victor hide it somewhere? All this said, at the end of the day, we thought From on EPIX was generally incredible, and we'll still tune in for season 2—presuming there is a season 2. (We're looking at you Amazon Prime!)Jake has some book recommendations, and Ron has been watching Slow Horses on Apple TV+.Finally, big thanks to a guy named Burt! We don't know if it's Burt from college or Burt from Severance. All we can say is, it's definitely Burt!Severance (Apple TV+)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11280740/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1From on EPIX!https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9813792/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1Slow Horses (Apple TV+)https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5875444/Thomas Olde Heuvelt, Echohttps://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250759573/echoSam Knight, "Robert Eggers's Historical Visions Go Mainstream"The New Yorker,  March 28, 2022https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/04/04/robert-eggerss-historical-visions-go-mainstream/ampThe Wrath of the iOtiansEmail: thewrathoftheiotians@gmail.comInstagram: thewrathoftheiotiansTwitter:  @OfiOtiansWebsite: https://thewrathoftheiotians.buzzsprout.com/MusicLand Of The Me-me by Aleksandar Dimitrijevic (TONO)Licensed under the NEO Sounds Music License AgreementThe Lowest DeepA supernatural horror fiction series.Listen on: Spotify

Sundial by Catriona Ward is Spooky, strange and stunning Website: https://gobookmart.com Buy Now: https://amzn.to/3DPK63W “No one is as expert as Catriona at pulling the rug out from under the reader's feet. It's eerily beautiful, haunting, wild, grotesque and darkly dazzling.” ―Jennifer Saint, author of Ariadne “As if we needed further evidence, Sundial confirms Catriona Ward as one of the brightest stars in horror fiction. As compelling and unique a voice for the 21st century as Shirley Jackson was for the 20th. She's brilliant.” ―Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Road of Bones and Ararat “Holy moly, Sundial plumbs the psychological depths and traps of toxic relationships, expertly mixing suspense, shocks, and menace. It's a wild, twisted family gothic unlike any you've read before, and one you won't soon forget.” ―Paul Tremblay, author of Survivor Song and A Head Full of Ghosts “This novel is reminiscent of the best of Shirley Jackson and Joyce Carol Oates, and I cannot think of higher praise.” ―Thomas Olde Heuvelt, author of Hex and Echo “There are two things you must know about Sundial. First, it's a great read, a genius piece of storytelling. But second, this is true horror, the horror of everyday life that we make ourselves blind to, horror that is brutal, truthful, terrifying. Catriona Ward knows horror.” ―Alma Katsu, author of The Fervor --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

This week is my personal Everest. Thomas Olde Heuvelt, bestselling Euro-horror whizzkid author of HEX, joins me to to talk about his newest novel – Echo. It's a story of mountaineering, and madness, and monsters of the soul.If you follow me on any form of social media you may have seen that this book utterly distressed me. I can't even say why myself; it just tweaked a nerve. Echo is a wonderfully easter-egg-laden novel, full of references to other horror masterworks. As you'll hear in this conversation, that is no surprise. Thomas knows what he's doing. He knows how to twist the knife (or the climbing axe) for maximum effect.We talk about mountains, of rock and of the mind. We talk about the role that those grand peaks play in horror through the ages, and how his own relationship with the mountains is one of both fascination and terror – whereas, for me, it's just the latter. We also discuss writing horror in translation, about the role of erotic love in horror fiction, and the creepy mountain stories that led to the creation of this nightmarish book.Enjoy!Other books mentioned on the show include:Into Thin Air (1997), by John Krakauer (a phenomenal non fiction account of disaster on Everest)Touching the Void (1988), by Joe SimpsonThe Raw Shark Texts (2007), by Stephen HallMaxwell's Demon (2021), by Stephen Hall Support Talking Scared on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/TalkingScaredPodCome talk books on Twitter @talkscaredpod, on Instagram, and TikTok or email direct to talkingscaredpod@gmail.com Download Novellic on Google Play or Apple Store.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/talkingscaredpod)

A startlingly original horror novel from the author of Hex. It's one thing to lose your life. It's another to lose your soul. When climber Nick Grevers is brought down from the mountains after a terrible accident, he has lost his looks, his hopes and his climbing companion. His account of what happened on the forbidden peak of the Maudit is garbled, almost hallucinogenic. Soon it becomes apparent more than his shattered body has returned: those who treat his disfigured face begin experiencing extraordinary and disturbing psychic events that suggest that Nick has unleashed some ancient and primal menace on his ill-fated expedition. Nick's partner, Sam Avery, has a terrible choice to make. He fell in love with Nick's youth, vitality and beauty. Now these are gone, and all that is left is a haunted mummy - worse, a glimpse beneath the bandages can literally send a person insane. Sam must decide: either to flee to America or to take Nick on a journey back to the mountains, the very source of the curse, the little Alpine village of Grimnetz, its soul-possesed Birds of Death and its legends of human sacrifice and, ultimately, its haunted mountain, the Maudit. Dutch writer Thomas Olde Heuvelt is a Hugo Award winner and has been hailed as the future of speculative fiction in Europe. His work combines a unique blend of popular culture and fairy-tale myth that is utterly unique. Echo follows his sensational debut English-language novel, Hex.

Let's find out!

Welcome back to our 31 Days of Horror Fright Bites! Today we are covering the digital story “You Know How The Story Goes” by Thomas Olde Heuvelt which is a modern day take on the hitchhiker urban legend.

De Leeuw Lult op locatie. We nemen deze aflevering niet op 1 hoog achter in Amsterdam op, maar in het prachtige Rotterdam. Op precies te zijn in restaurant Asian Glories aan de Leeuwenstraat. Dit is het restaurant van Kevin Fan die na het overlijden van zijn ouders met de MH17-ramp het restaurant op jonge leeftijd overnam. Meeluller is Richard Groenendijk en hij heeft zijn partner Marko meegenomen. Hij is delegation host voor Kroatië. Science fiction (SF) schrijver Thomas Olde Heuvelt is te gast om te praten over zijn bestseller Orakel. Tot slot, wederom een ster uit het populaire tv programma Ik Geloof In Mij Rutger van Barneveld!. Ook een soort SF figuur.

(2:56) Marc van der Linden en Lia van Bekhoven over het overlijden van prins Philip. (17:22) Menno Bentveld over de nieuwe documentaireserie 'Waterman'. (27:32) Thomas Olde Heuvelt is terug met een nieuwe thriller: Orakel. (39:27) Freek Bartels speelt de rol van Prins Harry in de musical Diana & Zonen. (45:06) Rachel Hazes over de documentaire 'Kleine Jongen: het echte levensverhaal van André Hazes'.

Annemieke Bosman spreekt schrijver Thomas Olde Heuvelt over zijn thriller 'Orakel'. Op een mistige winterochtend zien Luca Wolf en Emma Reich een achttiende-eeuws zeilschip in een bollenveld bij de duinen liggen. Orakel, staat er op de achtersteven. Het ligt er, in alle opzichten, verkeerd. Emma kan haar nieuwsgierigheid niet bedwingen en gaat het luik op het hellende dek binnen. Niemand ziet haar nog terug. Luca blijft verbijsterd achter: hij wilde haar wel achternagaan, maar iets hield hem tegen. De uitdrukking op haar gezicht toen ze door het luik ging, maakte hem bang… Niet veel later zijn er elf mensen verdwenen, worden Luca en zijn moeder afgeschermd van de wereld vastgehouden en staan de geheime diensten voor een raadsel. Alles moet uit de kast worden gehaald om een mediastorm te voorkomen. Maar als men graaft in een ver verleden om het mysterie van de Orakel te ontrafelen, blijkt het schip een voorbode te zijn van iets onheilspellends.

Spring, St Patty's Day, Aquamarine birthstones, Rachael & Kristia's birthdays, what more could you ask for out of a month?! As Match babies we obviously had to celebrate with all of you, so this episode we each gifted the other a book for their special day. Rachael's got a murder mystery that's very reminiscence of Serial. It's got a very detailed senior project, a missing (presumed dead) blonde girl, small town cops, and a best friend on a mission. Also, turns out this ones got a sequel! Kristia has a modern day witch/ghost - what better way to track a dead witch than with an iPhone. But of course the teens of the town want to fight back against an emergency degree thinking they know better than the thousands who have come before them. Bad things happen.

Thomas Olde Heuvelt is thrillerauteur. Op achttienjarige debuteerde hij in 2002 met de horrorroman De onvoorziene. In 2015 won hij als eerste Nederlandse auteur een Hugo Award, de internationale prijsuitreiking voor de beste sciencefiction- of fantasy-verhalen. In 2016 brak hij wereldwijd door met HEX, een thriller over een dorpje dat in zijn greep wordt gehouden door een vloek. Hierna schreef hij Echo, waarin een bergbeklimmer na een ongeluk door een berg bezeten raakt. Nu is er de thriller Orakel, waarin een gestrand zeilschip een voorbode van iets onheilspellends blijkt te zijn. Pieter van der Wielen spreekt met Thomas Olde Heuvelt.

'Ik heb er nachtenlang van wakker gelegen.' Dat is zo'n beetje het grootste compliment dat je deze schrijver kunt geven. En dat terwijl hijzelf bang is in het donker. Al zo lang hij zich kan herinneren. En die duisternis was er altijd. Achter de wasmachine op de zolder van zijn ouderlijk huis. Dan kun je maar het beste zelf superspannende boeken gaan schrijven, want dan bepaal je in ieder geval zelf hoe het verhaal afloopt.

Ooit was Thomas Olde Heuvelt een Nijmeegs jongetje dat droomde van een pretpark vol dinousaurussen en fantasierijke verhalen. Nu reist hij als horrorauteur de hele wereld rond om met zijn fans een praatje te maken. Sinds zijn Beekse horrorepos HEX een internationale doorbraak kreeg, mede dankzij vriendelijke woorden van Stephen King, gaat het lekker met zijn schrijverscarrière. En 2019 was een goed jaar, met o.a. het uitkomen van zijn nieuwe boek Echo, ook een dikke aanrader. Voor Duimpjeworstelen keert Thomas even terug naar zijn jeugdliefde voor verschrikkelijke hagedissen. In 2015 zag hij Jurassic World, en dat drukte bij hem precies de goede knoppen in. Eindelijk zag hij hoe de dinodierentuin operationeel was. Maar ook in dit derde vervolg op Spielbergs klassieker uit 1993, Jurassic Park, breekt de pleuris uit. En verder gaat het over: Thomas' aversie voor superheldenverhalen, dinosauriërs met veren en de laserharp van George R.R. Martin.

Amanda and Jenn discuss what to read after Where The Crawdad Sings, time travel fiction, challenging reads, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked.

FEEDBACK Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt (rec’d by Miranda) Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado (rec’d by Miranda) QUESTIONS 1. Hi, I was wondering if you had any recommendations for fun murder mystery novels that are well written and not too dark. I did not enjoy Gone Girl because it was too dark. I love Agatha Christie and have read a good portion of her novels. I am looking for new mysteries that are fun. I recently watched the movie “Clue” and something similar in book format would be great ☺️ -Kaitlin 2. Hello! I am hoping you’ll help me with some new book or series ideas for my husband, who is the type of person who will re-read (and re-listen) to the same books over and over… and over. He also tends to read book series geared towards younger readers. Being an elementary school teacher (currently teaching 6th grade), he likes to recommend & talk books with his students. His all-time favorites include Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, and just about everything by Rick Riordan. He’s also enjoyed Game of Thrones, The Iron Druid Chronicles, and the Scythe trilogy by Neal Shusterman. For stand-alone books, Dark Matter & Ready Player One are recent hits. He’s drawn towards multi-book series because of the rich world-building and loves books seeped in mythology. Plot twist! He also loves U.S. history, particularly about the gold rush and the american revolution. I think he might be into a fantasy adventure with a historical slant. Alexander Hamilton with a talking dog sidekick in a time machine saving the world? He’d probably read that! I’d love to see him continue to explore new worlds, characters, and ideas so the plan is to gift him some new books for the holidays. Thank you so much in advance! -Katie 3. Hi there! Every Christmas I give each of my kids a book that reflects something going on in their lives during the past year. Over the years the collection of books for each child has provided great memories of their interests, accomplishments and dreams. When they were younger it was easier to find books about learning to ride a bike, a cookbook about cakes, or a collection of poems about nature. As they have gotten older, their interests have naturally become more narrowed and specific. I’m hoping you can help me find a book for my oldest daughter, who is 19. This past year she completed an internship where she cared for and trained carnivores at a wildlife park and breeding program. She worked daily feeding and tending to lions, tigers, bears and cheetahs. It was amazing to see her growth over the period of the internship, I’ve never seen her more happy, confident or driven. I’d love to find a book for her about a person who has a similar positive experience with wild animals. I’m open to non-fiction or fiction but would mostly hope for something that continues to inspire her as she works toward her college degree in zoology and on to a career in this field. I have done some searching on my own but often recommendations come back for veterinary medicine and I’m hoping for something more specifically related to care and conservation of animals. Thank you in advance for your recommendations! -Heather 4. I want to get my mom a book her birthday. She works as a director at a basketball camp and one of her jobs is mentoring and organizing the counsellors. She likes self-help type books and I want to find one that’s about leadership in a summer camp or basketball setting, or about mentoring and working with teenagers or young adults. I love your podcast and listen to it every week! -Shannon 5. Hi, I’m looking for a recommendation after finishing reading “Where the crawdads sing” by Delia Owens. I absolutely loved this book, which surprised me as I usually read more plot driven books and don’t usually like descriptions like ” beautiful prose”, “lyrical” and so on. I found myself completely absorbed in the story, loved the language and even underlined some of the sentences. Maybe it’s the introvert in me, but I loved that it didn’t contain too many characters, some I could root for, and most of, all the mother nature. The nature scenes were my favourites to read and get lost in. I am going on a backpacking trip to South America next month and looking for a good read. Can you please recommend something similar? Thanks so much! -Kat 6. I recently enjoyed 11.22.63 and the Doomsday book and am looking for more good historical time travel fiction. Kindred is already on my to read list and I read the first Outlander book and found it a bit less consensual than I prefer my romances. Any suggestions for entertaining historical time travel books? -Shaina 7. Each year, I like to tackle a big, scary book—not scary in the sense that the book is frightening (though I’m not opposed to that), more that the book’s physical weight, complexity, and/or subject matter tend to intimidate readers. I’ve previously read Infinite Jest, East of Eden, A Little Life, The Goldfinch, Ulysses, Moby-Dick, etc. I’ve also read shorter work that would qualify, like Joanna Russ’s Female Man. There are a lot of lists on the Internet of the most difficult books, but those lists are largely white and male and I’m looking for something that isn’t. I know I could pick up War and Peace (and probably should read it eventually) but I really want to read as few books by white dudes in 2018 as possible. Can you point me in the direction of heady, challenging doorstopper fiction that meets this criteria? I’m not adverse to any particular genre, I just want to dig into a really difficult book. Thanks in advance! -Meredith BOOKS DISCUSSED Death by Dumpling by Vivien Chien Murder in G Major by Alexia Gordon (tw: ableist language and slurs around mental health) Dread Nation by Justina Ireland American Hippo by Sarah Gailey Steve and Me by Terri Irwin The Daily Coyote by Shreve Stockton Sum it Up by Pat Summit Wolfpack by Abby Wambach Deep Creek by Pam Houston The Overstory by Richard Powers (tw: suicide) A Murder in Time by Julie McElwain Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor Ducks, Newburyport by Lucy Ellmann Almanac of the Dead by Leslie Marmon Silko (tw: for everything)

Thomas Olde Heuvelt is schrijver van thrillers, horror- en magisch realistische romans. Van zijn boek Hex zijn wereldwijd meer dan 250-duizend exemplaren verkocht. Botte en Ype gingen naar zijn boshuis, op een heuvel bij Nijmegen, waar hij samen met zijn vriend en twee ezeltjes woont. Ze praten over enge verhalen, over klimmen, over de dood, over China en over de twee jongens met een relatie in zijn laatste boek Echo. De ezeltjes heten Luna en Siepie en natuurlijk keken we daar ook even bij!

I’m getting married in the fall and am looking for books that portray marriage in a positive light. So many books use marriage as the plot twist, ie, murder, infidelity, etc. I want to read about good marriages and what will bring positive feelings in my marriage, not the negative portrayal usually used. I like historical fiction, magical realism, Mary Roach type of non-fiction, fantasy, romance. -Angela 2. I have been reading Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center, and realized that I need more stories in my life about women working in high testosterone settings. I work in a job that involves carpentry, electrical work, and a lot of physical labor. In some ways I was originally drawn to the job because of the boys’ club atmosphere. I love confounding expectations; I love the challenge of proving myself, but some days that challenge is more daunting than others. Could you point me in the direction of some other books that capture this? -Sasha 3. I have a bit of an itch I need scratched, and I’m having a hard time finding books with this specific description in mind. Earlier this year, I was very depressed and, although I love really dark fiction, I couldn’t bring myself to read it. I’m doing better now, and I want to plunge back in. I’m specifically wanting to read a fantasy/horror/thriller that’s really strange and doesn’t make a whole lot of sense but you’re just going with it? Something unsettling and stress-inducing possibly with a magical or supernatural element to it. I want to be so scared and confused and horrified that I feel like I’m going to throw up. The only examples I can think of that kind of have given me similar feelings (but maybe not quite as high of a distress level as I want or as strange as I want) have been Sawkill Girls, Baby Teeth, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, I’m Thinking of Ending Things, The Call, and, notably for it’s weirdness, Mouthful of Birds. Please no short story collections or anything too experimental (nothing has frustrated me more than trying to piece my way through House of Leaves). Please also no pregnancy horror, miscarriage, or child death. Thanks!! -Anon 4. Hello Amanda & Jenn! I am looking for a two-part recommendation. One of my favorite parts of being a parent is having a built-in “book buddy”! She is a voracious little book worm despite being only two and a half, and I’ve loved using books as tools to talk about new topics. My husband and I haven’t yet traveled as much as we’d like to with our daughter. In order to bring a bit of the world to us, I’ve started choosing both my books and her children’s books by authors from a specific country or that take place in that country. For example: We’re focusing on Nigeria right now and I’m reading Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor and Looking for Transwonderland: Travels in Nigeria by Noo Saro-Wiwa, while my daughter and I have read Chicken in the Kitchen by Nnedi Okorafor and Why The Sky Is Far Away by Mary-Joan Gerson. Could you recommend a book for me (any genre) to couple with a children’s book for her to help us learn about a new country? The World is Your Oyster! -Amber 5. Hi there! I’m looking for some recommendations for my sister, who enjoys SF/Fantasy and a dash of humor. She’s also an interior/graphic designer so she tried Horrostor by Grady Hendrix at my recommendation – she said that she really enjoyed the unique format and worldbuilding but that it also totally freaked her out. (She read it alone while home with a fever. Oops.) I’m thinking of trying Night Film by Marisha Peesl next – too much you think? Some of her favorites include: Mogworld by Yahtzee Croshaw, The Martian by Andy Weir, American Gods by Neil Gaiman, Seconds by Brian Lee O’Malley, and the Finder Series by Carla Speed McNeil. Thank you!! -Melanie 6. I’m looking for some recommendations for my husband. He wants to get back into reading, but he doesn’t really know where to begin. He only reads nonfiction titles. He’s an attorney and former history teacher, so he enjoys both political and historical biographies. Some of his other interests include sports and standup comedy. He’s also expressed interest in reading stories about Mexico or Mexican immigrants. I realize these subjects are kind of all over the board, but I’m hoping you guys can pull something amazing out of your brains. Thanks so much, I appreciate your help! -Sarah 7. Hello, I’ve been listening to your podcast for a while, and I’m always looking forward to new episodes! For a while now I’ve been trying to find a good book to give to my mother in law. I’m a woman of colour, and my partner’s family is white. my mother in law is very open and willing to listen to my experiences as a woman of colour but I find that most – if not all – of the stories she finds most powerful are told from white men and women. While I’m sure the stories she loves are powerful and well-told, I wanted to find a book that offers the perspective of a person of colour and their experiences. Some of her favourite books are Still Alice, My Secret Sister, and A Dog’s Purpose. I hope you are able to help me out either on the podcast or by email.

This week's episode, on Thomas Olde Heuvelt's English-language debut novel, is a good reminder: don't accuse a woman of being a witch, kill her, and then taunt her as she despondently traipses through your small town. Bad things will happen. This seems pretty self-evident but apparently it's not.

This week's episode, on Thomas Olde Heuvelt's English-language debut novel, is a good reminder: don't accuse a woman of being a witch, kill her, and then taunt her as she despondently traipses through your small town. Bad things will happen. This seems pretty self-evident but apparently it's not.

Sandra and Scott set off on a spooky adventure to find the witch in Thomas Olde Heuvelt’s “Hex”. For safety in numbers, (and the chance of a higher body count) they brought Jen along for the ride.

Hi, I'm getting married in November after a short engagement but I've already noticed that my fiancé and my mutual male friends have seemingly gone from referring to me by my name to calling me 'his bird' or 'his woman' (f* that s*). Any recommendations on books about maintaining your identity as a real human being after marriage? As a wise woman told me recently, "the only downside to getting married is that you become someone's wife". Cheers! --Nia   2. Hi Amanda and Jenn! I have a travel request. I'm going to Valencia, Spain this fall to visit a friend, and know very little about the region. My favorite way to get to know a new city is through historical fiction. Do you have any recommendations of historical fiction set in or near Valencia? --Ellen   3. I am in the process of ending a relationship of almost twenty years and I am trying to adjust to the idea of living on my own for the first time since my early twenties (I just turned 40). I am looking for books that might help me sort out my feelings about this process. Fiction or non-fiction is fine. I already have All Grown Up by Jami Attenberg on my TBR pile. I don't have kids and don't want them but stories that include kids are okay as long as the main focus is on the the adult. Thanks in advance. --Rachel   4. Hi ladies! We are looking for book recommendations for our co-worker and friend Emily. Her birthday is on October 11th and she is a huge fan of your show (she is the one who introduced each of us to it as well) and of all things books. She loves to read pretty much everything and anything. We would like to get her a book or two for her birthday and would love some recommendations. She really enjoys horror, true crime, mystery, and literary classics. Some books she has recently read and enjoyed are Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty, Insomnia by Stephen King, and The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls. (The three of us are planning on reading Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt per your recommendation from a previous episode, and are very excited by the way). Anything you could recommend would be great! Thanks in advance for your help! --Mallory and Jessica   5. Hey, Initially, I was asking for more books on race by #ownvoices because it's coming up in my classes so often, which are predominately white (and I am as well). What I'm now looking for is maybe some kind of history, memoir/biography, sociological study, really anything, that would be helpful in verbal combat with someone who is essentially the devil's advocate in a comment section, but believes in what he's saying. I know I won't change his mind but I'd like to have history and facts under my belt to help verbally kick his ass and destroy him. This MRA-dude, in a previous class, considered Janie sticking up for herself in Their Eyes Were Watching God 'terribly emasculating' for her husband and an awful thing to do to him. He is also *so sad* by our professor criticizing our country and most of our class agreeing with her (because apparently that's worse than Nazis - I made the mistake of creeping him on Facebook.) I own (but still need to read) They Can't Kill Us All, Rest in Power, and Warriors Don't Cry. I have read 12 Years a Slave, March Trilogy, Between the World and Me, and am anticipating We Were Eight Years in Power. I was originally thinking more along the lines of slavery and civil rights narratives, but now I think a better tactic would be to learn about the history of fascism and the constant fight for social justice. Any help is much appreciated, especially since he's not *technically* a Nazi and I can't just punch him during class. I love the show and have almost made my way through the all of the episodes! --Jane   6. This is a bit of a time sensitive request...One of my best friends has been married just over a year, and has recently found out that her husband wants a divorce. I really want to send her a book to help distract her... Any recommendations? She likes thrillers and YA fantasy. Bonus points if there's a strong feminist and/ or life will go on message. --Tina   7. I'm looking for some good Witch/female awesome themed books to get in the mood for fall and Halloween. I loved "The Discovery of Witches," "Daughter of Smoke and Bone" and "The Night Circus." I'd prefer something in the fantasy realm but am really open to anything I can drink with some hot apple cider! Thank you! --Radhika   Books Discussed Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit When Women Were Birds by Terry Tempest Williams The Perfume Garden by Kate Lord Brown The Poem of The Cid by Anonymous Love Warrior by Glennon Doyle Melton Single Carefree Mellow by Katherine Heiny Sing Unburied Sing by Jesmyn Ward Blood of the Dawn by Claudia Salazar Jiménez The Moth Diaries by Rachel Klein Fen by Daisy Johnson White Rage by Carol Anderson The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander Gather the Daughters by Jennie Melamed (trigger warning for everything, basically) The Djinn Falls in Love, edited by Mahvesh Murad and Jared Shurin Brimstone by Cherie Priest Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor

Amanda and Jenn discuss Infinite Jest read-alikes, Muslim protagonists, horror, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Book of the Month Club and Portrait of Vengeance by Carrie Stuart Parks.   Questions 1. I am trying to expand my perspective by reading more diversely, but my general disinterest in contemporary or literary fiction has been a major snag for me - particularly where African literature is concerned. I have tried to read Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi and Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, but really struggled with them and decided to revisit them later. However, I have enjoyed genre fiction that involves African or African-American culture, specifically the works of Nnedi Okorafor and Tananarive Due. Can you give me some recommendations for African or African-American genre fiction? Thanks! --Quinn   2. I am a convert to Islam and I live in a small farm town in southern Ohio...not exactly to best place to find diversity, so I do not really get to interact with other Muslims. Therefore I turn to books. I’ve been trying to find more books that have Muslim protagonists. I've read The Reluctant Fundamentalist, American Dervish, and The Taqwacores. Beyond those, I've not had much luck. Any suggestions (the protagonist can be male or female) would be greatly appreciated! --Garrett   3. I run a book club which has no theme and includes women of all ages and from all walks of life. Our first choice was A Man Called Ove followed by The Poisonwood Bible and H is for Hawk. We like books that are not brand new so that we can get ahold of copies from the library (yes, we still use the library!) Do you have any recommendations of books that make for great group discussions? Thank you for your suggestions! --Leigh   4. Hi friends, I'm sorry to report I am in a serious book rut. I usually average 3 books a week and now I'm lucky if it's 3 a month. #librarianproblems I know, but I miss getting lost in a great read. I picked up Garden Spells after hearing you rave about it on the show and I think that might be the ticket: undeniably amazing crowd pleasing books that make you say "IT'S SO GOOD" in a rabid voice to everyone you talk to. I read tons of YA, but am not so into nonfiction. However, any and all genre fiction (for all ages) is welcome. Love the show and looking forward to your recs! --Christiana   5. Hey! My girlfriend read Infinite Jest last year, and she loved it. Since then, she has read everything that DFW ever wrote. Now, she's sad because she can't find anything that measures up. She tried Pynchon and Delillo, but neither of them really did it for her. Do you have any recommendations for someone who loves Infinite Jest? Thanks! --Ian   6. Hi! I really enjoy horror but have never found anything that really scares me. I would prefer horror that is more in the vein of American Horror Story than Lovecraft. I like the horror that is just on this side of being real. And very very scary. Thanks, --Sammie Paige   7. Hello! I love your show and hearing about the new books you recommend. I've been going back and listening to some of your older shows, but I didn't see anything that specifically relates to books about or related to feminism. So, that's my question, I think I've always been a feminist of some sort, but it seems to have peaked. I've never read any books specifically related to this topic, but I'm ready to dig a bit deeper. Can you recommend books to me as a sort of introduction to feminism? They can be fiction or non-fiction. I already have Bad Feminist, but I haven't read it yet. I am looking forward to your recommendations! Thanks! --Keia     Books Discussed Pre-Hispanic fiction by Spanish-speaking authors: The Heart of Jade by Salvador de Madariaga For Jennie, who wanted fish out of water stories set in Paris: Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin and French Milk by Lucy Knisley For Sarah, who wants to introduce her Lonesome Dove-loving brother to more diverse books: The Good Lord Bird by James McBride, Old Filth by Jane Gardam, The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood Stargate by Pauline Gedge Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit by Jaye Robbin Brown The Prey of Gods by Nicky Drayden A Taste of Honey by Kai Ashante Wilson (Trigger warning: family abuse) Nalo Hopkinson The Kindness of Enemies by Leila Aboulela Salaam Reads G.

We come to you from Kiel, Germany this week where we’ve just disembarked from the Writing Excuses Retreat 2017. It was an incredible experience and during this episode, we share our favorite parts of the workshops, ports, and activities. The cruise was full of incredible people and we love Tallinn! Also this week, we both read HEX by Thomas Olde Heuvelt, a slow building creepy horror story about being trapped in a small town in America. That’s frightening enough on its own, (believe us, we’ve lived in small towns), but add a silent witch to the mix and we get to see just how low people will go. *shiver* Both of us wish we could read HEX in the original Dutch to see a different take on the same situation. Next week, we’ll be at Worldcon 75 in Helsinki, Finland. Come say hello if you’re a listener and you see us!

TIME TO DANCE.Featuring:Andi Preller, Dave Roberts, & David Hopkins Running Time: 48:50Topics • We have some recording issues, but we push through them because we are PROFESSIONALS. But for real, all you missed is that David loved the novel Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt and highly recommends it. So let’s jump into the ultimate slasher movie

Thomas Olde Heuvelt, whose novel Hex recently debuted in the United States, talks to Sean Tuohy about wanting to become a storyteller at an early age, what the process is for translating a book like Hex into multiple languages, getting the chance to rework the novel for an American audience, and how he plans to scare readers in his next book.

Horror authors Joe Hill, Kat Howard, Thomas Olde Heuvelt, and Paul Tremblay talk to Daniel Ford and Sean Tuohy before their recent appearance at Brookline Booksmiths in Brookline, Mass. The panel discusses how they got into storytelling, why they decided to dive into the horror genre, and what inspired their recent novels.

Welcome back to Midnight in Karachi, a weekly podcast about writers, publishers, editors, illustrators, their books and the worlds they create, hosted by Mahvesh Murad. Hugo award winning writer Thomas Olde Heuvelt joins the podcast today to talk about the familiarity in horror, witches, adjusting translations into his own voice, and his novel HEX. The English […]

That day, the world turned upside down. We didn't know why it happened. Some of us wondered whether it was our fault. Whether we had been praying to the wrong gods, or whether we had said the wrong things. But it wasn't like that—the world simply turned upside down. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.
