The Dark Side: Dark Romance and Why We Write It
Episode description
“It's just how you're wired, it's as simple as that.” — Shane Starrett
Shane and Eris discuss dark Romance and why we read and write it. What constitutes ‘dark Romance’ in relation to other Romance tropes and genres? Why the stigma around Romances with dark themes, and what effect does it have on readers and authors? What impact do book retailers have on the availability of these stories? Plus: The Great Trigger Warning Discussion. Eris will rant, but probably not about what you’d think!
