Podcast appearances and mentions of Wendy N Wagner

In part three of their 3rd Annual Mysterious Galaxy Summer Bingo Showdown Throwdown, things get particularly contentious as Smack and Gabi have five final chances to claim the 2023 title for best books read during the summer.  One match-up in particular between a delightful queer-platonic horror novel and a differently delightful cozy middle-grade fantasy has us literally throwing hands (in rock-paper-scissors).  Other highlights include a queer historical murder mystery, yet more genderbending main characters, another hacienda book (this one with flowers), and an excellently crafted fairytale retelling (that Smack plugs on Gabi's behalf).  Find out who wins as our Throwdown trilogy concludes! The titles showdowned throwdowned in this episode include: The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea (The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea #1) by Maggie Tokuda-Hall vs. Lavender House (Andy Mills #1) by Lev AC Rosen A Snake Falls to Earth by Darcie Little Badger vs. The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw Trailer Park Trickster (Adam Binder #2) by David R. Slayton vs. Tell Me I'm Worthless by Alison Rumfitt Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron vs. The Enchanted Hacienda by J.C. Cervantes The Secret Skin by Wendy N. Wagner vs. Where Ivy Dares to Grow by Marielle Thompson

Words of Power by Wendy N. Wagner. Narrated by J.S. Arquin. Featuring an afterword by Wendy N. Wagner.    Kádár scrutinized the flake of clay on the blade of the screwdriver. "He's just getting too old to be a war truck," she said. "Look at this clay. The logos barely flickers in it." Zugsführer Warren spat on the packed earthen floor of the machine house. "You know I can't see that magic shit," he growled. "And it wouldn't matter if I did. An order is an order, Gefreiter Kádár, and the Oberst needs every last golem out on the field." The small woman wiped the screwdriver clean on her shirt tail and restrained a sigh. There was no point arguing with the big American; if anyone was a stickler for following orders, it was the Zugsführer. They'd butted heads before, and Kádár had come away with a headache. She stroked the pitted side of the golem. Even the Amero-Hungarian state seal, painted on each of its shoulders, looked worn out. "Poor old Benchley." "You name them?" She didn't bother glancing at Warren. Instead, she studied the dull gray places where the field operators had patched the injured clay. She narrowed her eyes. "This patch clay is shit," she growled. "Even the clay I used to convert him from a fighting man to a war truck was better than this, and I wouldn't have used that crap to make a singing tea pot."   Wendy N. Wagner is the editor-in-chief of Nightmare Magazine and the managing/senior editor of Lightspeed. Her short stories, essays, and poems run the gamut from horror to environmental literature. Her longer work includes the novella The Secret Skin, the horror novel The Deer Kings,  the Locus bestselling SF eco-thriller An Oath of Dogs,  and two novels for the Pathfinder role-playing game. She lives in Oregon with her very understanding family, two large cats, and a Muppet disguised as a dog. https://winniewoohoo.com/ Twitter: @wnwager facebook.com/wendynwagner   This is the final episode of The Overcast. Thank you so much for listening and for all of your support over the past 7 years!    Until we meet again... Keep dreaming,                                 J.S. Arquin  

In this episode, we talk with Wendy Wagner about her gothic novella The Secret Skin. We talk about Wendy's path to horror, her writing process, and developing this gothic novella.

She is the author of nearly fifty short stories and two novels for the Pathfinder role-playing game. Her third novel, An Oath of Dogs, came out in July 2017 from Angry Robot Books.

Well, we made it to the end of this nightmare of a year. And though there has been plenty of horrific stuff along the way – war, plague, corruption … literal armed insurrection, at least the fictional horror has been fun. To commemorate a special year in horror, I'm getting the band back together. Sadie  Hartmann, AKA Mother Horror, and Emily Hughes of Tor Nightfire (and various other parishes) join me to talk about the stuff they have loved from the second half** of 2021. **if you missed our coverage of Jan-June, you can find it in episode 46.We pick the books that really stood out for us, plus many more that we enjoyed. We discuss the TV and movies that have shaken and stirred us since July, and we look ahead to the bright (dead)lights of horror to come in the New Year. We also pick apart some thorny issues plaguing the genre, like the ridiculousness of rating books by stars, and my own irritation at everything being compared to Get Out.Each of the books we mention is listed below, including an episode number if it has been previously featured on Talking Scared. Don't look at that yet though; it'll spoil the surprise.Enjoy, and well done for getting through the year. Books pickedMy Heart is a Chainsaw (2021), by Stephen Graham Jones **ep 54Revelator (2021), by Daryl Gregory When Things Get Dark: Stories Inspired by Shirley Jackson (2021), ed. by Ellen Datlow **ep 66Cackle (2021), by Rachel Harrison When the Reckoning Comes (2021), by Latanya McQueenThe Spirit Engineer (2021), by A.J West **ep 71Come With Me (2021), by Ronald Malfi **ep 49The Deer Kings (2021), by Wendy N.
