Nerds, this episode was dark in all the best ways — and way more fun than we expected. 😈✨

Today on Fiction Fanatics, we’re joined by Caitlin Starling, and from the start, the conversation was equal parts unsettling, smart, and genuinely playful. Caitlin is brilliant, sharp, and quietly hilarious, and chatting with her felt like slipping into a conversation that’s just a little dangerous — in the best possible way.

We talk about her approach to writing psychological, genre-blending stories, why darkness can be such a powerful playground for creativity, and how tension, obsession, and fear can coexist with wit and curiosity on the page. The conversation flows easily, the laughs sneak up on you, and the ideas linger long after.

🖤 Thoughtful, eerie, and unexpectedly fun — this is one you’ll want to settle into.

Nerds, we loved this episode. 🤍

Today on Fiction Fanatics, we’re joined by Emiko Jean, and from the moment we started talking, everything just clicked. The conversation flowed so naturally that it felt less like an interview and more like a cozy, bookish hangout — complete with laughter, thoughtful moments, and yes, a tangent or two we didn’t want to stop.

We chat about Emiko’s journey as a writer, what draws her to emotionally rich stories, and the heart behind her latest novel, Love Me Tomorrow. Along the way, we talk love, memory, connection, and how stories can surprise us when we let them lead.

This episode reminded us exactly why we love doing this podcast — genuine conversations, incredible authors, and those moments where everything feels easy and fun.

✨ Warm, funny, heartfelt, and full of love — we adored Emiko, and we think you will too.
