Ep 558 - The Awakening, by LJ Smith (Vampire Diaries #1, w/ Natasha from UNSpoiled!)
Dear diary: Today we talked to our friend Natasha from the UNSpoiled podcast about a high-school-aged vampire novel with a popular screen adaptation. No, it's not Twilight.

Ep 557 - A Certain Hunger, by Chelsea G. Summers (w/ Christina Tucker and Kamille Washington)
Sometimes, a book comes along that is the exact combination of horny, spooky, and appetizing that makes you need to come on your friends' book podcast and talk about it. A Certain Hunger is about sex and cannibalism, in that order, and we needed a total of four people to help process it in an hour-or-so of airtime.

Ep 554 - Carmilla, by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu (edited by Carmen Maria Machado)
Carmilla is a double-whammy: an English-language vampire novel that predates Dracula by nearly three decades, and an edit from Carmen Maria Machado that both underlines the story's gay subtext and has a bit of fun with readers while doing it. Just try not to take her notes too literally and you'll be fine, probably.

Ep 553 - Among Others, by Jo Walton
This love-letter to sci-fi, libraries, and friends forged through literature is also a fairy tale of sorts about a young girl saving her world. Is the magic real? Probably!

Ep 552 - A House of Pomegranates, by Oscar Wilde
Wilde's fairy tales probably aren't the best-known of his works, but that doesn't mean they don't get a little Wilde-y. Just don't expect many happily-ever-afters.

Ep 550 - Con Air (novelization), by Richard Woodley
This podcast is taking off and it's got a lot of **bad guys** on it! Actually...it's just us. As usual. But we are talking about a surprisingly faithful novelization of Con Air, one that really reinforces how much the motley crew of character actors elevated the 1997 film.Con Air is our Patron's Choice episode for September.
