The Damned, the sequel to The Beautiful, is out, so Renee Ahdieh joins me again to talk about vampire romance, characters overcoming and rejecting toxic patriarchy, and the planning of an incredible virtual book tour. We talk about some of the themes in The Damned (no spoilers but if you haven’t read The Beautiful there are some details about the end) and about the development of a multi-night multi-author party that surrounded the book’s release. We also talk about makeup, cooking, Instant pot recipes, and books - it’s a well rounded conversation.TW/CW: We mention briefly sexual assault and deeply awful Supreme Court confirmation hearings at minute 21:00, so if you'd like to skip that part, jump ahead one minute at 21:00. What about you? What virtual gatherings have you attended or hosted? What really works for you? I’d love to know!...Music: https://www.purple-planet.com Get bonus content on Patreon
