Click above to download or find us on iTunes.
This episode features author Alex Harrow and artist/author Lex Chase. We discuss our love of morally gray heroes, the use of singular “they,” mental illness in speculative fiction, Marvel superhero fatigue, and then I totally misquote Hermione Granger (don’t @ me). Plus we throw a few book recommendations your way. Links are below the cut.
(Content Warning: While we don’t get too deep into any of these topics, we do mention PTSD, dissociation, psychosis, suicide, and death. Please avoid this episode if you find any of these topics triggering.)
