Mona Awad & Genevieve Jagger: Something Wicked This Way Comes

Women descend to surreal depths in two new eerie novels. Mona Awad’s Rouge tells the story of skin-care-obsessed Belle who, grieving for her mother, enters a cult-like spa to disappear from the world. In Genevieve Jagger’s Fragile Animals, Noelle escapes her intense Catholic upbringing by meeting a vampire on a Scottish island. Tonight, Awad and Jagger discuss updating fairy tales and horror classics with Eris Young.
