In this episode, we share our interview with author Kathleen Kaufman and chat about her newest book, Diabhal.
Kathleen Kaufman is a native Coloradan and long-time resident of Los Angeles. Her prose has been praised by Kirkus Reviews as “crisp, elegant” and “genuinely chilling” by Booklist. She is the author of The Tree Museum, The Lairdbalor, soon to be a feature film with Echo Lake Studios and director Nicholas Verso, and her most recent, Hag, which launched in October 2018. Kathleen is a monster enthusiast, Olympic-level insomniac and aficionado of all things unsettling. When not writing, she can be found teaching literature and composition at Santa Monica College or hanging out with a good book. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, son, terrier and a pack of cats.
“Ceit Robertson, age ten, is the next Matrarc to the Society, a cultish, matriarchal group living in an inconspicuous suburban cul-de-sac. When Ceit's mother is attacked by spirits from the old world, a failed exorcism results in Ceit's exile into Los Angeles's notorious foster care system, beginning a journey that will take her to the last ancient worlds of America. As Ceit grows into a force of nature far beyond the imaginings of even the darkest mythology, she discovers that perhaps the devil is not what we should truly fear…”
