    New reader here, what is Violet Gaze and what happened to it?

  2. Lena Brassard/Ren Benton says:

    @Louise: They are (or were) a small press. I remembered them from the time their publishing account with Amazon got terminated, but apparently they recovered from that long enough to also publicly screw over an author. They weren’t prepared for those consequences and closed up shop, leaving the authors they’d published scrambling to get their rights back and get their books back in stores so they could eat.

    Wow, that was a Google journey with two well-trod tropes: “Never put all your eggs in Amazon’s basket” and “Small presses—yeeeeeeeeesh.”

  3. Malaraa says:

    Sadly, all the unicorn shifter books i know are fluffy and comedic in tone. Often only slightly spicy, if at all, and not even remotely the amount of tension needed for horror. Either there’s a place i haven’t found yet, or erotic unicorn horror is a region of untapped potential waiting for the right author to come along!

  4. Aida says:

    I just discovered my New Zealand iTunes podcasts stopped getting new episodes with #510. No wonder I’ve been in a bad mood for 3 months! Came here to get my happy back 🙂

  5. DiscoDollyDeb says:

    Not really a horror rec, but since Agatha Christie was mentioned in the episode, I’d like to recommend Christie’s extremely atypical ENDLESS NIGHT. It’s narrated by a working-class man who marries a wealthy woman; they purchase a large piece of property and hire a prominent architect to design their dream home. When tragedy strikes, is it simply a terrible accident or something more ominous? It’s an incredibly atmospheric story with a thread of the supernatural moving through it. It’s also the closest thing to noir Christie ever wrote.

  6. Gill says:

    Erotic Unicorn horror? You could try Capturing a Unicorn by Eve Langlais. It’s more romance, with horror and spicy elements. It’s book 5 of the Chimera Secrets series and whilst standalone, think you’d be best reading at least book 1 to get the picture.

  7. Mary Pagones says:

    @DiscoDollyDeb That is such a fantastic book! I’d also add Five Little Pigs, Sad Cypress, and The Hollow as some of her more tragic and complex romantic mysteries.

  8. Marlene in PDX says:

    I don’t generally find spooky books all that spooky, but obe that got me was Daniel Hecht’s City of Masks. New Orleans, creepy house, terrible family secrets, nasty ghost – the works!
