Hello and welcome to worst bestsellers, where we read about the power of sisterhood and heteronormativity so you don't have to.

I'm Renata.

And I'm Kate.

And for this episode, we read Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman joining us to discuss this witchy classic is Lily Sparks

author of the teen killer series and upcoming book The Merciless King of Moore High. Hi Lily. Hello.

Hi, I'm very happy to be here. Yeah, welcome back to the podcast.

It's a thrill. Happy October. Yes, spooky season. This is a genuine question because I hadn't

seen anything about it. Tell me more about the merciless king of more high. That's a really good title.

Oh, I'm so glad you asked.

That is my, that's my next, the book coming up in April 2024. And it's, it's kind of a

departure from the Teen Killers Club series. It's also, YA. But it's about these two schools

that have kind of gone through an apocalyptic happening

where all the adults in town have morphed into these like giant corpse monsters overnight um so the

schools have kind of like been isolated and one has like totally barricaded itself and the other

one has kind of figured

out how to kill these monsters and then after a year they kind of cross paths and they have

to start sort of working together and figuring out how they're two different societies with all

these different belief systems can kind of mesh and if they can save the town together.

So it's kind of like a neo-feudal apocalyptic fantasy, but like fun.

Okay.

You tell me where to show that.

I'm scared but intrigued.
