Queer crime fiction with Salem West & John Copenhaver (QR 116)
Update: 2025-09-16
Description
This week, Kris and Tara sit down with Salem West and John Copenhaver, editors of the queer crime fiction anthology, Crime Ink: Iconic. The hook for this collection is pretty damn cool, since the stories draw inspiration from queer icons throughout history.
The last time Salem and John were on the podcast, they discussed the urgent threat of LGBTQ book bans. Now, they’re here to sound the alarm about the need for more visibility of queer crime writers and their stories. We should all be listening.
Note: In the opening, Tara says this is a bonus episode, but life got in the way of our recording schedule, so we're running this as a regular episode.
