In this episode, hosts Katherine Troyer and Anthony Tresca discuss the 2020 novel The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix.
Episode Highlights: We talk about the significance of the author's introduction in setting up the ordinary housewife against the immortal monster, explore the ways that the book asks us to question who--in a world of maintaining the status quo--is the real monster, and argue that perhaps the novel could have gained one more wrinkle (in a very textured story) if it had offered one character who had to face giving up a loving relationship for what was right.
A Dose of Scholarship: Not much has been written (yet!) about this novel, but we encourage you to pick up all of Hendrix's books if you are hankering for something new to read.
