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.

Jewish lesbians! Sinister country houses! Shell art! These are but a few of the wondrous things you will find in Rose Lerner’s latest book, The Wife in the Attic, an f/f retelling of Jane Eyre that’s out now as an Audible Original. I got to talk to Rose about this book, her research for it, why Mr. Rochester did nothing wrong if he’s telling the truth, and her favorite Holmes/Watson AU, the Bunny and Raffles stories. “Whatever, I don’t need to justify Raffles’s behavior,” said Rose at one point, whereupon she immediately justified Raffles’s behavior. (I was convinced, for what…

If you haven’t read her books yet, I recommend them highly: They are about the performers and owners and patrons of a glam-as-fuck nightclub in a country where fascists are slowly taking over.
