26: The Second Death of Edie and Violet Bond (w/ Erin Harris)

We’re kicking off spooky season with a paranormal tale of “sisterhood and female defiance— inspired by lives of real teenage twin mediums in the 19th century.” And who better to join us on this episode discussing Amanda Glaze’s historical fantasy debut, THE SECOND DEATH OF EDIE AND VIOLET BOND—set in Sacramento, 1885—than new guest host and Sacramento History Museum tour guide and volunteer, Erin Harris! Listen in as we examine the accuracy of Sacramento landmarks and geography as portrayed in the book, Erin reveals why this book made her think of Long Island Medium, and we choose a side in the ‘enemies-to-lovers’ vs. ‘friends-to-lovers’ trope war. Plus, guess which host described themselves as a “book snob” and which as a “book whore”!   Guest Host:Erin Harris’ (she/her) shelves are lined with books written by women for women, murder mysteries, dark academia, and the odd memoir. As a corporate girlie, tour guide and volunteer for the Sacramento History Museum, she’s always busy. Erin’s downtime consists of crocheting and hunting for the perfect spot to hang her hammock.
