LONE WOMEN: Book Club Podcast on Dark Side of the Word

Book Cover of Lone Women by Victor LaValle, cup of tea

Hello, Tartlets and Darksiders! A new book club podcast episode is up on Dark Side of the Word. Join me and Kait as we discuss the supernatural/historical fiction novel Lone Women by Victor LaValle.

After burning down her childhood home with her parents’ dead bodies inside, Adelaide flees California. Her sights are set on Montana, a place where she can homestead and become just like the women she read about in the railroad booklets. But, she brings along a trunk that is so heavy, the horses can barely carry it. The trunk doesn’t seem to be filled with the items she’ll need to survive the harsh Montana winter, but with something else. Something from her past, and something that darkens her future.

In this episode, Kait and I discuss whether or not Lone Women should really be shelved under “horror”; if Elizabeth is a funny name for a monster; why you shouldn’t Google weird skin ailments while podcasting; and how to successfully write a story with multiple POVs.
