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!

This week, we’re diving into Favourite Daughter by Morgan Dick—a novel that had us flipping pages and raising eyebrows.

Join Corrie and Lucia as we unpack complicated mother-daughter dynamics, messy characters that felt a little too real, and the hazy line between bad choices and full-on disaster. From addiction to manipulation, this one gave us a lot to talk about—and even more to side-eye.

Thank you to Viking and Penguin Random House for sending us advanced reader copies of this book!

In this bonus episode, Corrie and Lucia sit down to discuss Emily Henry's newest release - Great Big Beautiful Life.
