Tales from the Trunk Episode 30: Leigh Harlen - ”Snakes and Snails and Big Ol’ Rat Tails”
This time around we're joined by Leigh Harlen (@leighharlen) to talk about the new printing of their collection, Blood Like Garnets! Leigh reads to us from their pissed off, queer response to that wizard series, which leads us into a discussion on new and exciting forms of self-rejection, and why community is so important to us as writers.
Things we mention in this episode:
Ursula K Le Guin's Earthsea
"Blood Makes the Fruit Grow Sweet," by Leigh Harlen in Dark Moon Digest
TKO (publisher)
Premee's book launch event
Yellow Jessamine, by Caitlin Starling
"Prey," by Richard Matheson
