Bleeped words: Murd3r/Su!c!de, k!ller


Hello My Happy Fiends,


My favorite time of year is in full swing. In this hauntingly good episode of Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt – Book Talk Podcast, I sit down with J.E. Weiner, the author who’s turning heads and raising goosebumps with her Southern Gothic debut, The Wretched and Undone.


Set in the mist-shrouded hills of Texas on the eve of the Civil War, this novel is a genre-bending tale of ghosts, grief, and generational curses inspired by real people and actual events. When Polish immigrants Marcin and Agnieszka Anderwald cross an ocean searching for freedom, they awaken something far darker—an unrelenting evil that refuses to rest.


Weiner’s background as a historian and her own encounters with the supernatural bring a bone-deep authenticity to this chilling saga, which has already earned honors as a K!ller Nashville Top Pick and Claymore Award Finalist for Best Southern Gothic. Together, we discuss haunted histories, unquiet spirits, and the ghosts that follow us through time, whether we invite them or not.


If you love eerie atmospheres, haunted family legacies, and the kind of storytelling that lingers like footsteps in an empty hallway, this episode and J.E. Weiner’s The Wretched and Undone is the perfect entertainment this October.



Side Note: The podcast name J.E. Weiner could not think of is The Telepathy Tapes and can be found by clicking here.


Enjoy,

Dianne
