What happens when the darkest corners of desire meet the written page? Author, Holly Guy invites us into her world of villains who would "burn the whole world down just to turn up the heat."

Our conversation with Holly reveals the powerful philosophy behind her work: creating spaces where women can confront trauma, desire, and darkness without apology. She brilliantly distinguishes between dark romance and erotic horror, explaining how both genres serve readers seeking to explore taboo themes within the safety of fiction.

Ready to discover why some readers use trigger warnings as shopping lists? Want to understand how fiction allows us to experience desires we'd never pursue in reality? Listen now.
