Episode #166 Interview W/ CJ Leede author of American Rapture

I was selling books at the San Diego Book Festival and my fellow tabling authors were Chad Stroup (Secrets of the Weird) and Brian Asman (Good Dogs). They talked about Mave Fly for a solid twenty minutes singing its praises. They hyped it so much, and I respect their opinions that I think the novel could not possibly meet the hype. For many readers, CJ Leede’s first novel Mave Fly more than met the hype. It was a massive success, and I was excited to read her follow-up American Rapture.

In this episode CJ and I talk about her excellent weird apocalypse novel American Rapture. Inspired by the sexual repression of Catholicism and making a bold statement about rape culture this novel is incredible. This is a wide raging discussion and after a spoiler warning, we get under the hood and talk about the writing process.
