Episode 04 - Sarah Read x The Atropine Tree

Tuesday, November 12, 2024 • Duration 32:31

Bram Stoker Award-winner Sarah Read joins The Bad Signal to discuss her novel The Atropine Tree, a brilliant book that combines alchemy, Victorian surgery, and gothic horror into a beautiful story of family and loss. The Atropine Tree follows Alrick Aldane after the loss of his father, as he navigates his dark family history and attempts to reclaim his rightful title as Lord of House Aldane. Read discusses her love of research (she’s extensively read up on poisonous plants and Victorian medical practices), crafting unique, memorable characters, and how writing pulled her through a dark time in her life.
