    🎙 Sadie Hoagland – Circle of Animals In this episode of Read Between the Lines, Molly Southgate sits down with acclaimed author Sadie Hoagland to discuss her haunting and beautifully crafted new novel, Circle of Animals. 📖 About the Book – Circle of Animals When her hippie mother Edi goes missing the same week Sky Richard is assaulted at work--Sky wants to run away from everything. Instead, Sky goes looking for her mother and finds an estranged grandmother, the cult she was born in, and an unlikely ally. But the most important thing she discovers in her mother's past is the strength she needs to face her own life. Circle of Animals tells the story of a woman, Sky, grappling with a sexual assault in her workplace and the disappearance of her troubled "hippie" mother the same week. As she searches for and uncovers her mother's story, she also discovers the larger story of the historically situated and gendered bodies of her mother and estranged grandmother. Drawing on ancient myth (the title refers to the zodiac), California counterculture of the last century, and current conversations about sexual violence, this novel asks us to think about how the inability to communicate violence done unto the body is not just a symptom but also a means through which violence spreads collaterally between women as silence and estrangement. As Sky looks for her mother, she must also find her own voice and courage to claim her agency. 🔗 Links & Resources Purchase Circle of Animals at Bookshop.org: bookshop.org/a/10588/9781636281582 ✍️ About Sadie Hoagland Sadie Hoagland is the author of Circle of Animals, A Novel (Red Hen Press August 2024), Strange Children (2021; Red Hen Press) and American Grief in Four Stages (2019; West Virginia University Press), which earned a starred review from Kirkus Reviews.

    In this episode of Read Between the Lines, Molly Southgate sits down with award-winning author Lisa C. Taylor to discuss her powerful and heart-wrenching new novel, The Shape of What Remains.

    📖 About the Book – The Shape of What Remains
    What did six-year-old Serena Calvano see that caused her to run into the road on a clear November morning while waiting for the school bus with her mother? Teresa Calvano has spent a decade consumed with guilt over her daughter’s tragic death, wishing it had been her husband, Luke, who was there that day. As her grief stretches into years, Teresa turns to books, therapy, and even Janis Joplin in a desperate search for healing. But can there ever be a cure for grief—or a way to find peace when what you long for most is another day with the one you’ve lost?

    Chuck Tingle on Bury Your Gays and Writing to Prove Love is Real In this episode of Read Between the Lines, Molly Southgate sits down with USA Today bestselling author Chuck Tingle to talk about his bold, thrilling, and deeply heartfelt latest novel, Bury Your Gays. Known for blending horror, romance, and satire with a fiercely human core, Chuck discusses the inspiration behind Bury Your Gays—a dark Hollywood tale that pits creativity and love against systemic erasure, corporate algorithms, and literal monsters. We dive into the meaning behind the story, the importance of representation in media, and Chuck’s mission to prove that love is real even in the face of the void. If you’re a fan of speculative fiction, queer storytelling, or just want to hear from one of the most unique voices in literature today, this conversation is not to be missed. 🔗 Links & Resources Purchase Bury Your Gays at Bookshop.org: https://bookshop.org/a/10588/9781250874658 About Bury Your Gays Misha knows chasing success in Hollywood can be hell. After years of struggling, he’s finally Oscar-nominated, and studio executives know just the thing to push him further: kill off the gay characters in his hit series—“for the algorithm.” When Misha refuses, he paints a target on his back. Soon, monsters from his horror-movie past stalk him and his friends through the hills of Los Angeles. To survive, Misha must face his past and risk everything before Hollywood—and the horrors themselves—bury him for good. About Chuck Tingle CHUCK TINGLE is the USA Today bestselling author of Camp Damascus. A mysterious force of energy behind sunglasses and a pink mask, Chuck has become an icon of boundary-breaking fiction, spanning romance, horror, and fantasy. Born in Home of Truth, Utah, he now splits time between Billings, Montana, and Los Angeles, California. Through all of his work, Chuck writes to prove one thing above all else: love is real, and it is the most powerful tool we have against the endless cosmic void. 📚 Connect with Chuck Tingle 🌐 Website: https://www.chucktingle.com 🐦 Twitter/X: @ChuckTingle 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealchucktingle 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/chucktinglebooks 🔑 Keywords: Chuck Tingle, Bury Your Gays, queer horror fiction, LGBTQ+ representation in books, Hollywood horror stories, satire and horror, speculative fiction, queer storytelling, love is real, Camp Damascus, Molly Southgate podcast, Read Between the Lines author interviews, horror novels 2025, LGBTQ+ books 2025 #️⃣ Hashtags: #ChuckTingle #BuryYourGays #QueerHorror #SpeculativeFiction #ReadBetweenTheLinesPodcast #MollySouthgate #AuthorInterview #LGBTQBooks #QueerStorytelling #LoveIsReal #BookPodcast #HorrorFiction #RepresentationMatters #BookDiscussion #ReadersLife _______________________________________________________________________ One easy way to support this show is to rate and review Read Between the Lines wherever you listen to our podcast.
