Laura Marie and Jessica Marie are thrilled to celebrate International Podcast Day with new friends and old characters made new! Alana brings to the podcast, The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter by Theodora Goss. Alana knows ACOFAE because this book is full of all the things the pod loves like, strong women, daddy issues, independence of women, female friendships, found family and more. Truly this book has it all, even Sherlock Holmes! New friend Alana brings a wonderful discussion and throws out some suggestions for the pod such as Carmilla and Veronica Speedwell that are well noted! Join ACOFAE and Alana as they discuss the dryness of classical literature, the audio experience of the classics, and how the classics do not have to be this unaccessible thing.

There's a niche for everyone!

How does ACOFAE get Jessica Marie to watch a horror film? Tell her that is has Gary Oldman and Keanu Reeves in it will do the trick! ACOFAE is covering Dracula a couple different ways: Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 classic film AND the 1897 novel itself. Did you know Dracula begins in May? Jonathan Harker is on his way to Transylvania and his life is about to change in unexpected ways. Mina, his fiancé, and her best friend, Lucy, are in England and wait for Jonathan's return. What Dracula is and what he does becomes the stuff of legend and it all begins here. Laura Marie has read the book, Jessica Marie has watched the movie and together a discussion emerges about morality, purity, and how the addition of a love story changes the view of Dracula from villain to..something else.

"Good for Lucy."
