Only one bed, with a twist? Sophie Clark on demon-hunting and romantasy in Cruel Is the Light
<p>On today's Chosen One episode we speak to Sophie Clark about Cruel Is the Light, her debut romantasy full of demon-hunting exorcists, forbidden love and tangled webs of power. We discuss the gothic elements of the Vatican-inspired world and how the setting became a character in and of itself. We also delve into our love of the grumpy x sunshine trope, especially when it's flipped on its head, and we talk about attitudes towards trope culture in romance and how the same criticisms are never levelled at other genres, even when they might be warranted. </p><p><br></p><p>Lit Witches is hosted by Adelaide Jensen, and this episode's guest is Sophie Clark.</p><p><br></p><p>Produced by Liz Burnett.
