  • What a Sexy Monster: Interview with Mikaela Clements and Onjuli Datta
    Oct 15 2025

    This week, we dive straight into talking about one of our favorite reads this year, and get the chance to interview married couple and our BotM authors, Mikaela Clements and Onjuli Datta. We talk about what it's like to write possession, how horror and romance intertwine, the consumption of the dreaded Pit Monster, and--of course--what's behind Jagvi and Angelina's tender, thorny path towards each other. 🎃

  • You Can Bury Your Gays: Queer Horrormance and the Genre Spectrum
    Oct 8 2025

    Strap in for more horror talk this week because Amy & Harry and Millie are joined by horror connoisseur Riley Jones to talk all things horrormance (horror/romance). Is paranormal fiction just a subgenre of horror? Does horror actually have to be scary? Are you allowed to kill the queer characters in your horrormance? All these questions and more will be answered.

    Our book of the month is Feast While You Can. Read along with us and tune in to our interview with the authors on October 16 followed by the live book club on October 23!
