Margaret St. Clair's Sign of the Labrys takes place in a future United States of America, though the government seems to have fallen, after a yeast pandemic killed a majority of the population. What is left of the country has gone into a kind of subterranean quarantine, and society is fractured, as people are afraid to be too close to one another, for fear of spreading the germ. The quarantine has gone on for so long, that people have grown accustomed to being alone and now prefer it to any kind of human contact. This is the storyworld that readers are introduced to, as they meet the protagonist, Sam Sewell, a man living and working in underground levels, meant to keep people safe but apart. Imagine his horror and surprise when he finds that someone has invaded his space, leaving messages and clues in his home “pod” and attracting the attention of an FBY agent. His journey to discover who is trying to contact him leads him deeper into the ground, level by level, into a world of danger--and of magic.  Recommended reading: Justina Ireland's Dread Nation, Vivien Chien's Noodleshop series, and Julia Fine's What Should Be Wild

Amanda and Sarah cover true crime with a supernatural twist. Amanda goes all the way back to the late 1800s with the tale of the Greenbrier Ghost, the only known conviction determined by testimony from beyond the grave. Sarah goes for a much more recent case by delving into the spooky and tragic details surrounding the mysterious deaths of the Jamison family. Other subjects covered include a creepy clown hallucination, obsessing over purse contents, and dream celeb podcast listeners. Recommendations: Sarah recommends checking the book rec thread on the Ghoul on Ghoul Twitter feed. Amanda recommends reading the weirdly funny, Gothic, magic realist tale What Should Be Wild by Julia Fine.  Sources: Mysterious Universe (The Bizarre Case of the Jamison Family Deaths) All That's Interesting (He Said His House Was Haunted – Then His Family Disappeared) Daily Mail io9 (5 Gruesome Real-Life Murders That Inspired Spooky Ghost Stories) Prairie Ghosts (The Greenbrier Ghost) Murder by Gaslight (Zona Heaster Shue - The Greenbrier Ghost) For updates on future episodes and other fun stuff, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Of all the terrible just-out-of-college jobs that have been described on TK, Julia Fine probably had the worst. Later, she ended up leaving a good position to pursue an MFA, and the result is WHAT SHOULD BE WILD, a (wild) combination of fairy tale, folklore, mystery, road trip, and countless other inspirations. She and James talk about how she managed to juggle so many influences while avoiding genre expectations. Plus, Julia's editor from Harper, Erin Wicks.  -  Julia Fine: https://www.julia-fine.com/ Julia and James discuss: Annie Hartnett  Columbia College Chicago Harper  Mercedes Lackey  Tamora Pierce  HIS DARK MATERIALS by Philip Pullman Angela Carter  WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE by Shirley Jackson  Robert Graves  FROM THE BEAST TO THE BLONDE by Marina Warner  Erin Wicks  Carmen Maria Machado   Kelly Link  SWAMPLANDIA! by Karen Russell THE TIGER'S WIFE by Tea Obreht  MR.
