We are back, and today we're talking to Gabriela Houston about her debut novel with Angry Robot Books, The Second Bell. This stunning story is based in Slavic folklore and mythology.


In today's episode, we talk about writing an updated image of strigas (from Polish folklore), the dark side of putting readers into boxes, and advice for new writers looking to start out.


Hope you enjoy it.
