Our Special Brand of Chaos: A Sort-Of Summer Special
Manage episode 435128330 series 3367780
For our "Sort-Of" Summer Special, we set ourselves a little literary homework and went off to research the giants our favourite subgenres stand on the shoulders of. Emma focused on paranormal romance and couldn't resist creating a Venn diagram, and Jess went the whole hog, digging back into romance in fantasy as far as The Iliad!
There might be some spoilers for some of the older books discussed, such as Dracula and Interview with the Vampire*.
If you'd like to view the episode for captions, you can find links to You Tube and Spotify here: https://linktr.ee/SFFRomCast along with our social media details. We'd love to hear from you! Are there any seminal works we missed! All our music has been taken from the following track: https://uppbeat.io/t/danijel-zambo/fairytales (License code: 43DIFSVAZ90MEEQ8) Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!)
*During the discussion of this, Emma mentions the a-sexual coding of the vampires, but would like to add that this is not the reason she doesn't feel they should be classed as romances.
