Elle, Regi and guests discuss and highlight Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror books by diverse authors, using the book as a springboard into themes and topics. Through this podcast, they hope to bring attention to possibly overlooked books, and allow guests to discuss the themes that resonate with them. Each episode, a guest picks a book for discussion and we let the conversation flow from there.
