About this episode

Chris and Amy discuss Lindsay King-Miller's novel 'This Is My Body' and its themes within the horror genre.

This month our hosts, Chris and Amy, read This Is My Body, podcast alum Lindsay King-Miller’s sophomore novel that Chris has affectionately deemed an absolute “slam!” Seriously, this story seamlessly ties its multiple threads together into a gorgeously gruesome tapestry of horror that will delight fans of the genre, queer or otherwise. For fear of giving anything away, we’re going to leave you here with one simple mission: Read this book, then come back and listen to this episode!  Thank you to Quirk Books for providing us with a copy of This Is My Body. Remember to purchase this novel from your local indie bookstore or reserve it from the library! Support local and support queer authors! It comes out on August 5th, 2025!
