A proposito di questo titolo

This is the podcast for dragon riding witches and the people who love to read about them. Your hosts Ali Plante (librarian + medievalist) and Jackie Jennings (SYFY host + writer) are two friends who love all things fantasy, sci-fi, romantasy and historical fiction.

You know that text thread you're on where everyone is freaking out over Azriel + Elain memes, screaming about HotD, and sharing deep cut faerie smut recs? This is that...in podcast form

Join them as they dive into their current reads, analyze the latest news and trends in speculative fiction.

    Episode 5: Folk Horror and the Freaky Woods
    Oct 18 2024

    This week we're talking about folk horror and, much like the woods, it gets dark and deep (also lovely, in a weird way). Join Jackie and Ali for a survey of the genre, recommended watching, and a 2024 look back at The Blair Witch Project. Does she hold up? Find out and let us know what you think!

    Episode 4: Spooky Season + Eco-Horror
    Oct 7 2024

    The air is cold, the days are shorter, and the aisles of Target are filled with Christmas decorations. That means it's MID-OCTOBER aka the heart of Spooky Season! Join Ali and Jackie as they delver into the increasingly popular sub-genre of eco-horror (think: The Birds, The Thing, Annihilation). They define the genre, analyze what makes it work and explore why we humans find a creepy deer or a weird pond so damn haunting.

    Plus: Sexy Manon Blackbeak fan artI A naked plea for ice cream! All this and more on Down To Read!!
