Bookable Space with P.M. Raymond

In this episode, of Bookable Space we’re joined by P.M. Raymond. P.M. reads from Things are as They Should Be and Other Things to Die For. It’s rich discussion about writing Southern gothic, what writing New Orleans makes possible, creating fictious places, crafting a short story collection, and more. 

About the book:

THINGS ARE AS THEY SHOULD BE and other words to die for is an interconnected Southern gothic noir journey from reconstruction New Orleans to a present-day Louisiana landscape of terror. Littered with transgressive messages and exploring the limits of greed and vengeance through the lens of race and gender, THINGS ARE AS THEY SHOULD BE unites the supernatural with human failings.
