We're back, baby ... back to basics, that is. In this first episode of a season-opening three-parter, we talk about rereading as inspiration mining; leaning into complementary crafts to prime the proverbial creative pump; and five of my fave creepy reads, just in time for Halloween week (plus two bonus boogedy-boos just for you):
- Strega by Johanne Lykke Holm (trans. Saskia Vogel)
- At the Edge of the Woods by Kathryn Bromwich
- Where the Wild Ladies Are by Aoko Matsuda (trans. Polly Barton)
- Our Share of Night by Mariana Enriquez (trans. Megan McDowell)
- Woman, Eating by Claire Kohda
- BONUS! Dark Tales by Shirley Jackson
- BONUS! Eileen by Ottessa Moshfegh
Thanks so much for being here, and, as always, take care, keep creating, and stay divine!
