Novel Meets Evil - BONUS EPISODE - Author Interview - Liz Nugent
<p><b>Ever since publishing Unravelling Oliver in 2014, Liz Nugent has been gifting us with deep character-driven novels full of twisted family drama, allowing us to reevaluate how we look at intergenerational trauma. It’s never just for shock–Liz actually has something to say.</b></p><p><b>Her five novels - </b><b><em>Unravelling Oliver, Lying in Wait, Skin Deep, Our Little Cruelties and Strange Sally Diamond </em></b><b>- have each been Number One bestsellers and she has won four Irish Book Awards, as well as the James Joyce Medal for Literature. I had so many questions and we only scratched the surface of why she writes the way she does, her struggles with the writing process, and her boundless fascination with weird humans. Today we are so lucky to have access to a unique mind in the fiction world–Liz Nugent. The author joined the podcast from her home in Dublin.</b></p>

Novel Meets Evil - Season 01 Episode 07 - MINISODE - "The Lonely Ones" Ray Bradbury meets Orville Weyant
<p>The stories that scare often have a thread of truth in them. Sometimes there's much more than a thread, like when a story is based on a real person or series of crime. You'd never expect truth from Ray Bradbury one of the greats of American speculative-fiction. But in <b>'Dandelion Wine'</b>, Bradbury's debut novel, there's very little sci-fi or spec-fic to be found. He did, however, create one of the creepiest throwaway characters of his career with the coolest villain name: The Lonely One.<br/><br/>As it turns out, The Lonely One was based on a real figure from Bradbury's childhood -- a cat-burglar and boogeyman that scared the you-know-what out of any kids growing up in the area of Waukegan, IL, Bradbury's childhood home. This minisode holds both figures up to the light and we see what's similar and what's unique to each of these creeps. </p><p><br/>Episode Notes:</p><ul><li><b>NOVEL - Ray Bradbury's 'Dandelion Wine' [ 00:00-11:15]</b></li><li><b>Childhood Boogeymen [11:15-14:10]</b></li><li><b>EVIL - Orville Weyant [14:10-27:00] </b></li></ul><p><br/></p><p>Links:</p><ul><li>Check out<b> </b><a href='https://youtu.be/s0YMjllakrU?si=XVeRRGouSRk4y9EO'><b>this great radio play </b></a>based on this character of The Lonely One.</li><li><a href='https://www.audible.com/pd/Dandelion-Wine-Audiobook/B07815BZBZ'>Dandelion Wine</a> on Audible</li><li><a href='https://youtu.be/fl2ZRr0P520?si=l6xFabpy2jLhlU-6'>Free recording of 'Dandelion Wine'</a> on YouTube</li></ul>

Novel Meets Evil - Season 01 Episode 06 - "Lady Liars: Cindy James Meets Gone Girl"
<p>Novel Meets Evil - Season 01 Episode 06 - "Lady Liars: Cindy James Meets Gone Girl"<br/><br/>Like a good thriller, the case of Canadian nurse Cindy James will have you scratching your head, questioning your own assumptions about who, if anyone, is telling the truth. She suffered for 7 years, was not believed by authorities, and ended up drugged, strangled and hogtied in an abandoned lot. So which is worse–that she was the victim of a stalker with a dedicated long game, or… of herself?</p><p>The novel <em>Gone Girl</em> is the story of Amy Dunne. Amy like to tell tall tales, including detailing the misdeeds of her secretly abusive husband Nick, who wanted her <em>gone</em>. Then Amy went missing and blood evidence seemed to point to Nick. As it turns out, nothing is quite as it seems with psychopaths. </p><p><br/>Episode Notes:</p><ul><li><b>Teaser - [0:00-0:]</b></li><li><b>Main Intro [ 01:16-02:00]</b></li><li><b>EVIL - The Case of Cindy James [2:00-27:00] </b></li><li><b>NOVEL - Gone Girl [27:00 33:30]</b></li><li><b>Mental Health Factors & Conclusion [33:30-49:03]</b></li></ul><p><br/>Links<br/><a href='https://youtu.be/3yJUBUF0s0U?si=tl1IgTbC8NZJyDs8'>Unsolved Mysteries Episode</a> (Jan 30, 1991) <br/><br/><a href='https://www.amazon.com/Deaths-Cindy-James-Neal-Hall/dp/0771037848'>'The Deaths of Cindy James' </a>book by Neal Hall <br/><br/><a href='https://www.amazon.com/Who-Killed-Cindy-James-Mulgrew/dp/0770424457#:~:text=He%20has%20conducted%20hundreds%20of,conclusion%20that%20Cindy%20killed%20herself.'>'Who Killed Cindy James'</a> book by Ian Mulgrew<br/><br/><a href='https://www.amazon.com/Gone-Girl-Novel-Gillian-Flynn-ebook/dp/B006LSZECO/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1Q3KC5KWQE8NC&keywords=gone+girl&qid=1705078628&s=books&sprefix=gone+girl%2Cstripbooks%2C56&sr=1-1'>'Gone Girl'</a> book by Gillian Flynn</p>
