Happy Wednesday, friends! We’re back with a new author interview! I’m in conversation with the marvelous Nicole Jarvis, whose debut novel The Lights of Prague is out now from Titan Books. It’s about a very good boy named Domek, whose job it is to light the gaslamps of Prague but also fight the monsters of Prague — including vampires. When he kills a vampire that’s carrying a will o’ the wisp, he finds himself entangled in a vast conspiracy, which, if it goes forward, will allow the vampires to walk in daylight. You can listen to the podcast in the embedded player below, or download it directly to take with you on the go!
