Absinthe. Faeries. What else could we ask for? Holly Black, the literary Queen of Faerie, joins us for a little absinthe tasting and a fantastic discussion of all things faerie, including some faerie folklore stories Holly loves. We pick her brain on how she writes such incredible bargains and stories while keeping them fresh. We also touch on aliens, writing, and have a chaotic and delightful talk about the tasting notes. Zoraida did not set her apartment on fire. Not a sponsored episode, we just like little treats.
