In this episode, Élaina and Eva wade into the crocodile-infested waters of “Jawbone”, the horror novel by Mónica Ojeda, translated from Spanish by Sarah Booker. Set in Ecuador, this gothic coming of age tale is as mesmerising as it is disturbing. And, of course, as former teenage girls who now teach the youth, your hosts have THOUGHTS. This was a fun one (and a dark one), y’all.
As always, this podcast is spoiler-FULL.
