Vampirism is time travel.
It’s also tragedy and freedom and Queerness, and sex and
death.
We talk about all of these thing with V.E. Schwab, when we sink our teeth into her new epic novel, Bury our Bones in the Midnight Soil.
It’s the story of three women who lead complicated, violent, sensual lives across the centuries. The interconnect. They love. They kill.
It wasn’t the book I was expecting…and I loved it. I think you’ll love this conversation too.
Enjoy!
