On this episode of Fermented Fiction, we welcome acclaimed author CJ Leede, best known for her novels Maeve Fly and American Rapture.
As CJ is well known for her seamless blending of spicy eroticism and horror, she is the absolute perfect guest to discuss this saga, which, in many ways, has shaped the horror-romance genre for the better part of a decade.
Just as CJ puts little-known Wisconsin tourist traps on the map in her newest novel, this saga managed to put Forks, WA on the map. Both impressive accomplishments... but what does our team think of this saga? How will the dice gods intervene? And what wisdom might we glean from this week’s incredible guest?
Tune in to find out. Our Fermented Fiction Rating (how many drinks/substances allow you full enjoyment of this movie, book, or show): Roughly 2 entire stout beers per movie.
