Listen to full episode:

In this episode, we sink our teeth into Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab.

From the haunting pull of vampire lore to the raw portrayal of anxiety and mental health, we explore how Schwab reshapes the gothic tradition. We ask: How would this story shift if its characters were older? What role does the setting play in how we perceive the vampires?

Join us as we unearth the buried fears, subtle power dynamics, and tender monstrosities that make this story linger like a whisper in the dark.

Thank you to Tor and Pan MacMillan for sending us early ARCs of the book!
