This guide assumes you have read ‘A Discovery of Witches’ and ‘Shadow of Night’.  If you haven’t, you can go back to our Daemon Guide to ‘A Discovery of Witches’ or the Daemon Guide to ‘Shadow of Night’ and pick it up from there.  This guide will be long because of the length of the […]

Summertime, and the living is easy?! Yeah, no. We are busy! It’s that time of year where the Daemons are usually in “auto-pilot” mode. We don’t do much as far as substantive posts. We release the giveaways we’ve planned months in advance. We record our podcast episodes only once a month (double sessions), and the […]

YES! This is the week The World of All Souls comes out! It’s time! We’ve had a new release this week! And you can win your very own hardcover of The World of All Souls! We’ve all been anticipating this encyclopedia of the All Souls Trilogy since last year, and we can’t wait to talk […]

Description: All Souls Con 2019 is coming sooner than we think! As is our tradition (since the beginning of this podcast), we invited Laura Ventura (co-director of All Souls Con) on to talk about it. As fate would have it, Angela was unable to record that day, so Laura graciously agreed to join us as […]

Prizes are NOT to scale. Last week magic, this week SCIENCE! What we loved so much about The Book of Life was that it got into the weeds and seeds of science and creature genetics.  We’re celebrating this book by giving it away!  That’s right, we are giving away a brand new signed (by Deborah […]

Happy Holidays, everyone! This is the last giveaway of the year! It’s that time of the year . . . and we’ve been busy Daemons in our — cover-story — human lives. But we HAD to make time for this! It wouldn’t be a Daemon holiday season without the last giveaway of the year! So […]

This quote is attributed to poet Cesare Pavese (however, he didn’t contract the words ‘do not’ 😉) Description: Before we get into chapter discussions (now that we’ve done many of the primer subjects relating to this trilogy), we wanted to reflect on some of the moments throughout the Trilogy that talked to us, and how […]

Meh, we went for the obvious today! Description: It’s Sol in Leo! We’re back in Madison, but things aren’t quite correct. Matthew’s moody, Sarah’s broody, and it seems it’s up to Diana to get this place back into working order. We meet the locals (witches) at the Cost Cutter, and Smitty at the Post Office! […]

Latest News on the All Souls Trilogy and Beyond! Ah, the Ridiculously Random Recap! Why the name? Because it’s a recap. And it’s random (ridiculously so). There is no rhyme, reason or rationale, reference its recurring release. Also, alliterations are almost always adored by able, yet addled daemons! Welcome to Issue 8!  We are covering […]

By Ann Daniel Bus ride to Oxford We landed at Heathrow at 7:05 am on June 16 and headed straight for the bus to Oxford. Our introduction to England was this crusty bus driver, who yelled at me because I was not loading my suitcase fast enough. Then he yelled out the door at the […]

As a bit of background, Hugh de Clermont was killed along with the leadership of the Templars – it is unclear what name Hugh was operating under, but the connection can be made from the entries in the KoL ledgers. On the evening of March 18, 1314 Jacques de Molay the Grand Master and Geoffrey […]

Pictured above is what’s for grabs–see details on the audiobook! Happy Birthday, Diana Bishop!  It’s not her birthday yet, but it will be soon (the Goddess’ Feast Day is around the corner)!  As she’s fictional, we are left with all of these birthday presents to give, and no one to give it to!  Well, of […]

Considering our new found appreciation for him, Chris deserved a front/center spot this episode… Description: Father Hubbard is given an ultimatum from his sire, Benjamin — which leads him to desperate measures; go to Matthew to handle this problem, because he is the “break-in-case-of-emergency” option! The problem? Jack Blackfriers. Yes! He’s back! He’s a vampire […]
