Hello, Tartlets and Darksiders! A new book club podcast episode is up on Dark Side of the Word. Join me and Kait as we discuss the novel Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix.
You know that Kait and I get excited whenever a new Grady Hendrix novel comes out, and Witchcraft for Wayward Girls did not disappoint! Well, mostly. While we don’t really feel that this book is horror, it sure was a damn good read. Here are the main takeaways from the episode:
- Grady Hendrix’s writing captures the female experience authentically.
- Witchcraft gets a little too dark in this book!
- Hendrix’s style is visceral and gory, bordering on horror.
- The book discusses the struggles of women in a patriarchal society.
- The book’s Southern setting is crucial to its themes.
- The horror of childbirth was depicted in a visceral manner.
