Popverse Reads is a recurring LIVESTREAMED conversation with some of the most talked-about writers in literature today; join us each month as we hear from the people who write your old, new, and forever obsessions!
Good morning Popverse! We're thrilled to unveil the first episode in the Popverse Reads series, in which Popverse's video producer Ashley V. Robinson chats with some of the most popular authors currently writing. Our first guest, as those of you that watched live already know, was master of horror Grady Hendrix!
In case you're not familiar, Grady Hendrix is the author of hit horror novels How to Sell a Haunted House, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, and My Best Friend's Exorcism, which was adapted to film by Prime Video. Most recently, Grady came out with the folk-horror-leaning, '70s-set Witchcraft for Wayward Girls, which we'll be discussing for Popverse Reads.
Grady sat down with Popverse around the virtual cauldron to discuss all manner of things witchcraft, horror, and of course, his previous works. The chat happened LIVE on Popverse's YouTube channel, but if you couldn't make it then, you can still join to hear what Grady has to say about his newest book by watching the video below.
Once you've finished watching, you can read Popverse's interview with Grady Hendrix from NYCC 2024 right now, and pick up your copy of Witchcraft for Wayward Girls on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Bookshop.org. Remember, a witch is only as good as her reading material.
