Ep813 – "Whispers Most Foul" with Emma MacDonald

This week on Witchcast, Emily and Kate conjure up a conversation with writer and practicing witch Emma MacDonald, author of the moody, magical new novel Whispers Most Foul. Think: cozy witchy vibes meets dark academia, sapphic longing, ghost girls, and academic rivalries with a magical twist. You're gonna want to curl up with a candle for this one. We talk with Emma about her path to embracing both writing and witchcraft—and how the two practices are deeply connected. She shares her inspirations, the magic behind her writing process, and how she's carving space for queer, non-hetero love stories in a genre crowded with "romantasy" tropes. We also get into the rise of dark academia, witchlit, and why ghosts make great love interests. Whispers Most Foul is available now wherever books are sold—and trust us, it's a spellbinding read.
