C.J. Leede returns

Author C.J. Leede returns to the podcast, this time to talk to Scotty about her new novel "American Rapture" (October 15, Tor Nightfire). They discuss the influence of her religious upbringing, her thoughts on purity culture, their mutual anxiety about the apocalypse, their shared love of American kitsch, and more. They also talk about this year's surprise hit "The First Omen," and how it works as both a prequel to the 1976 classic and as a brilliant work of religious horror in its own right.
