What you see is what you get (except the letter-board. We keep that!) Happy July?! Ok, we really don’t have a significant date to celebrate, but it’s still summer and we are going to hold a giveaway — BECAUSE WE CAN! This giveaway is just like the last one, but we’ll switch it up a bit. Instead […]

Description: Happy New Year! Now that the festivities of the season are in past tense, let’s dive right in!  We’ve always been fascinated by the personalities of the characters in this series.  So fascinated in fact, that we took it a step beyond with a nudge from one of our Discussers (thank you, Michelle).  Without […]

Here are some notes on the NYC Halloween event that took place on October 28th, 2015: “Living with the Dead in Early Modern England, an Illustrated Lecture with Deborah Harkness” at the Morbid Anatomy Museum.  Thank you, Colleen Sabino, for being our eyes and ears on the ground at this event!  All photos of the […]

For those of you who haven’t had a chance to look at our website beyond the posts, we wanted to highlight a few items that could be helpful in your re-reads (or first-time reads) of the All Souls Trilogy (AST) Have you ever just wanted a comprehensive graphic to see how everyone was tied to […]

Let’s file this under ‘Whimsy,’ shall we? 🙂 In A Discovery of Witches, we learn that William Shakespeare often “borrowed” words from others. The specific incident we are speaking of here is the quote: “Who ever loved that loved not at first sight?” Good Ol’ Will! Most lovers of medieval prose will recognize it from […]

We are going to get our geek going with a more somber topic than our last Weekly Geek.  We covered Halloween and the fun traditions that originated from both Pagan and Christian origins.  Today, we are going to take a closer look at Matthew Clairmont’s faith a bit. And maybe we’ll be able to gain […]

What a great week this has been so far! Let’s cut right to it: REMEMBER THE PAST Giveaways Our giveaway ended on June 8th.  Angela Lent was our lucky winner!  She will receive an All Souls Trilogy themed prize pack that includes the paperback edition of The Book of Life, a signed copy of Diana’s […]

The working title of this piece: “Time Walking After a Massive Bender” — you’re welcome 😆. Description: “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Scratch that! Goodbyes flat-out suck! And that’s what Diana has to deal with in this chapter; saying goodbye to her father — although technically, not really — but we get it. The fact […]

We’ll find any excuse for a good giveaway! We love celebrating holidays, but as much as the retail marketers tell us that it’s time for Santa, we say wait a minute! SLOW DOWN! For us here in the US, we have still have one of our favorite stuff-your-face holidays to look forward to! American Thanksgiving! […]

One of our favorite ways to devour this series . . . The time is near! All Souls Con? Well, that too … (psst! Don’t miss out; register to stream, or get your tix if you are in town —> HERE)! How about more news of the TV show? Well … no, that’s not what […]

Happy October!  September was an awesome month for All Souls Trilogy lovers!  September is also the month notoriously known among fans of this series for the start of re-reads and read-alongs!  It’s a big part of why Autumn is such a magical time! With the first annual AllSoulsCon behind us, we keep reflecting on all […]

16th Century London Description: Since we are more than halfway through the chapters of A Discovery of Witches, it’s time to start priming ourselves for the next volume in the trilogy, Shadow of Night. We explore the attitudes of our main characters after our collective time-walk, and discuss their actions (both good and bad). We […]

Description: The most exquisite creatures!  Ok, we are biased.  This is the episode where we discuss the “ae” daemons.  The creatures in the All Souls Trilogy that maybe don’t get a lot of attention paid to them.  We had some audio issues in this episode, but we powered through!  So for now Valerie will sound […]

Farewell, Bishop-Clairmonts & Crew! Description: With every ending, there is a new beginning. Thanks to Stephen Close for sponsoring this episode, and to all, please enjoy… SPOILER ALERT! We (The Daemons) approach this podcast with an assumption that the listener has read All Souls universe books, including the trilogy (A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of […]
