Elizabeth Engstrom’s WHEN DARKNESS LOVES US has been called everything from dark and soul crushing to a “paperback from hell” but we call it one of the finest literary explorations of trauma in recent memory. In this episode, we discuss what makes a monster, how trauma gets replicated, and what it means when monstrosity cloaks itself as maternal indifference. On this podcast we talk blood, guts, and spoilers so listener discretion is advised.
You can order Engstrom’s novel from Valancourt’s Paperbacks from Hell site.
