Author T. Kingfisher joins LIVE at Norwescon 2026 to discuss her novel WHAT MOVES THE DEAD, how to write retellings, and how she feels about adaptations. In episode 379, Luke Elliott & James host their second live recording, this time in front of a live room full of Ursula Vernon fans while adding to their "Creative Conversations" series. Topics include why she chose to retell Edgar Allen Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher," how she decided to deal with each character's original fate, what to do about fungus hares, how she developed Alex's neopronouns, and which of her books have received interest from Hollywood.

T. Kingfisher's retelling of "The Fall of the House of Usher" was a commercial and critical success, but was it an adaptation? In episode 378, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they explore the "sporror" subgenre, appreciate some truly unsettling hares, and explore how this version of the classic tale shifts the thematic meanings of Poe's classic into a different place entirely. Join them next week when they interview T. Kingfisher herself for a Creative Conversation at Norwescon 2026!
