We interviewed Alix E. Harrow in the before times (2019) when her first novel, The Ten Thousand Doors of January, was published. We drove to Berea, Kentucky and recorded in Berea College’s library, where Harrow graduated from and where she lived for a time. In the years since her debut, Harrow has come out with several new and cool entries into the speculative fiction genre. Her most recent book, Starling House, is a NYT, Washington Post, and USA Today bestseller.  It is the October pick for Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club.
