Episode description

“I've been asked, why do you blend genres so much? And the simple answer is that it's what I want to read.”

Horror meets romance meets historical fiction in Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas. This genre-bending novel will have something for any reader — whether they’re looking for spooky, spicy or something in between. Cañas joins us to talk about her research process, the connection between this book and her own family, the importance of genre fiction and more with guest host, Jenna Seery. We end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Madyson and Mary.      

This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Jenna Seery and mixed by Harry Liang.
