[From the Vault] Courtney Summers and The Master of the Bitch
Manage episode 518927403 series 2977606
This flashback episode takes us to early 2021, when I was joined by Courtney Summers – the boundary-pushing author of dark YA fictions for a corrective lesson.
Courtney came on the show to discuss The Project, a novel of sinister elite cults, evil charisma and radicalisation. At the time Trump had just been kicked out of office, so those things seemed safe to talk about.
Alas… they are maybe scarier now.
Enjoy!
