Pod People, are you ready to go underground with us? Maybe play the Elevator Game? In this episode, we speak with the incredible Sofia Ajram about his Bram Stoker-nominated novella Coup de Grâce. We discuss Greek mythology, anomalous architecture, liminal spaces, mental illness and suicidality, the myth of "purple prose," and that storytelling device toward the end of the book.

Content warning, Pod People. This episode includes frank and honest discussions about mental health, suicidal ideation, and death. Take care of yourself, and if this conversation isn't for you, check out another episode!
