    March Bonus: Hot Damn, Madame!

    In this episode, we do a languid Dead Sleep swan dive into Thérese Raquin, Emile Zola's scandalous tale of murder and betrayal in 1860s Paris - a masterpiece of French fiction that would go on to influence 20th century true crime writing, including Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. This smoldering saga of an unhappy wife-turned-femme fatale who secretly plots her husband's demise is as fascinating today as it was back in the day. Thanks again for supporting the podcast!
