What’s this episode about?
I can’t believe it, you guys – but Kait and I both really liked How to Fake a Haunting. I thought we’d have to read further into the new season to find a book we agree on, but Christa Carmen’s unique...

What’s this episode about?
We kick off the episode with a little personal update about where Kait and I have been for the past few months. We ended the 2025 podcast season a little...

Hello, Tartlets and Darksiders! A new book club podcast episode is up on Dark Side of the Word.
Kait and I were over the moon this month because we interviewed one of our favorite horror authors: Ursula Vernon, a.k.a., T. Kingfisher.
We read (and adored) the first two books in Kingfisher’s Sworn Soldier series last year: What Moves the Dead and What Feasts at Night. We are so excited to say that we were some of the first people to read...
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 cozy supernatural fantasy novel The Late Night Witches by Auralee Wallace.
What’s this episode about?
It’s time to dive into The Late-Night Witches — a great cozy read as we enter the “ber” months. We cover all aspects, from why it falls under the category of a dark cozy horror book, to why we love...
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 dark academia novel An Academy for Liars by Alexis Henderson.
What’s this episode about?
Kait and I agree on another book! And, this time, we both didn’t like An Academy for Liars. It gave us a lot of Harry Potter, Twilight, Fifty Shades of Grey, Jekyll and Hyde, and Jessica Jones’ Kilgrave vibes....
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 nonfiction book Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?: And Other Questions about Dead Bodies by Caitlin Doughty.
What's this episode about?
Yes, Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs? is a different kind of book club read for us. But, talking about what happens to bodies after death is definitely a dark topic. So, it fits!...
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 Home Is Where the Bodies Are by Jeneva Rose.
Well, we knew it couldn’t last. As much as Kait and I agreed on our last book club read, we completely disagreed on Home Is Where the Bodies Are. Can you guess which one of us couldn’t put this thriller down and who wanted to throw it against the wall?
Kait and...
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 horror novel Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng by Kaylie Lee Baker.
Everyone! BIG NEWS!! Kait and I both loved a book! The same book. We agreed that Bat Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng is one of the freshest horror novels we’ve read in awhile. It's a unique blend of Chinese folklore and...
Hello, Tartlets and Darksiders! I’m thrilled to share with you that Kait and I interviewed Amie McNee, author of We Need Your Art: Stop Messing Around and Make Something on Dark Side of the Word.
If you’ve followed the podcast for awhile, you’ve heard me and Kait (especially Kait) casually reference “Amie” while talking about our creative pursuits. As if Amie were just the mutual friend we’ve known forever and not an...
