Mormon Gothic with Linda Hamilton

If you’re anything like me, then you’re not immune to the widespread recent interest in Mormon culture (anybody else love The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives?). Enter Linda Hamilton, an ex-Mormon and the author of The Fourth Wife, a deliciously chilling, historical gothic horror with a feminist slant where a young Mormon woman is haunted by a malevolent presence in the decrepit Salt Lake City mansion she shares with her new husband and his other wives. Join us as we discuss how history and personal experience can inspire horror, religious trauma in horror, gothic novels, and how to manage the writing life.Linda Hamilton is an author and historian who is currently completing her Master’s in history at Sam Houston State University with a thesis on Mormon women in polygamy. Her debut novel The Fourth Wife (publishing March 31, 2026) is rooted in the real lives of women from her own family history and religious heritage.Connect with Linda: https://www.readlindahamilton.comFind Linda on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindahamiltonwriter/?hl=enConnect with Viggy: https://viggyhampton.comPurchase A Veritable Household Pet along with Viggy’s other books: https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B082DC79CG/allbooks?ingress=0&lp_context_query=viggy+parr+hampton&visitId=de1e27e5-1287-480a-b6e5-8e57fcd3f214&ref_=ap_rdr&ccs_id=d71bd3f1-0606-455c-b57f-3eb3635a30d1Sound effects courtesy of Pixabay and AppleKeep up with Horror Humor Hunger:- Instagram: @horrorhumorhungerpodcast- Viggy's Instagram: @viggyparrhampton- Twitter: @HHHPodwithViggy- Sign up for Viggy's monthly newsletter at www.viggyhampton.com
