Haunted Homebodies

Hey, homebodies! It’s Ashley. While we take a short break, I’ve been working on something exciting. And that is my new writing podcast called: THE SETTING.
Every other Wednesday, I am going to take you along with me to all of the bookish, unusual, and haunted settings of my writing life.
We will chat about writing, particularly the places where we love to write, famous literary locations throughout New England (and beyond), and, of course, lots of bookstore adventures.
And over the course of the next year, I will document my journey from the very beginning - literally starting this podcast without so much as a novel-in-progress all the way to my first completed manuscript in one year.
And of course, in true Haunted Homebodies fashion, I will be visiting haunted locations, old cemeteries, and spooky landmarks to inspire my own scary stories.
If you are interested in writing, travel, or both, I hope to see you there! THE SETTING will launch on August 19th. Be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, and of course on YouTube and Substack to watch the video version.
Stay Harbinged,
xx Ashley

This is our last episode of Haunted Homebodies Season 2, and man do we go out with a BANG...or is that the sound of poor Stellan Skarsgard’s one-armed body being used as a battering ram by a shark? If that sentence doesn’t tell you enough about the film we’re covering today, just know we also talk about the incredibly bad science, non-stop anxiety-inducing underwater action scenes, something known as a “shark wrangler”, and also LL Cool J. All in all, it’s a great time, and a perfect send off for the season.

If our last episode kind of wasn’t about sharks. . .this one isn’t about sharks at all. Ashley and Sara spend some time this week throwing it back to a childhood favorite show, and try to get over some deceiving marketing about what this two-part episode was actually about. Come for the hypothetical sharks, stay for the giant adorable lizards!

This week we tackle a shark movie. . .or is it? This campy (at least according to the internet - we’re not totally sure) serial killer story has a memorable villain and a great final girl you can’t help but root for. Plus, you already know we’re a sucker for a fun harbinger, or two!

Come see if Sara can be successful in convincing Ashley that Sharknado is actually a high-concept, creative, excellent epitome of what B-movie horror should be. Or maybe they’ll both just agree the premise sounds like it was written by a 5-year-old. . .but a really imaginative one! Either way, it’ll be a fin-tastic time!
