Reposting one of my favorite Quills & Chills episodes...and the very first one.
I sat down with author Carissa Orlando to talk about The September House, writing through anxiety, and turning haunted houses into mirrors for the mind.
Still one of my favorite conversations.

I've been reading so much more horror lately & I couldn't quite put my finger on the reason. Here, Kylie Lee Baker nails it: "I think horror really lends itself to talking about injustice just because it's all about catharsis and karma..." I can see that. #corazeng #kylieleebaker #booksky #horrorsky
