    Season 2 Episode 6: In My Mother's Skin (2023) with Azalea Crowley

    Author Azalea Crowley joins the podcast to talk about Kenneth Dagatan's 2023 film In My Mother's Skin. Together, we discuss things that are "creepy cute," explore Filipino folklore, and consider how folk horror stories reflect human behavior. Azalea Crowley (she/they) writes for those who find beauty in the dark and unusual. Her unique brand of horror romances combines the grotesque with the gorgeous, while her fantasy romances combine the adventure of a TTRPG and tragic backstories—because reasons. From the misty Pacific Northwest, Azalea creates darkly whimsical adventures where love blooms in unexpected and dangerous places. Weaving Indigenous, Filipino, autistic, disability, and LGBTQIA2S+ representation, she offers stories with inclusive worlds. For readers who crave both light and dark, Azalea Crowley invites you to embrace your inner misfit and discover that monsters can fall in love—and keep their fangs. - In My Mother's Skin (2023): Stranded in the Philippines during World War II, a young girl finds that her duty to protect her dying mother is complicated by her misplaced trust in a beguiling, flesh-eating fairy. - Links: Filmmaker Magazine Interview with Kenneth Dagatan: https://filmmakermagazine.com/118553-interview-kenneth-dagatan-in-my-mothers-skin/ Manananggal Doll: https://creations.mattel.com/products/monster-high-corazon-marikit-doll-hxj09?srsltid=AfmBOopaOWslFOn9xfjW7QdxyLrzwon7-JZQVPA5XdPpbGN_zaprZJl6
