About me
and the show

I started the podcast as an affordable and accessible alternative to print copies of my books, as audiobook narration is expensive! Eldritch Girl began as a read-along initiative, providing the audio of my novels and shorts for free, then branched into bonus episodes with worldbuilding and author interviews.

GOODREADS REVIEW
Wow, the author does a great job at narrating her story (you can listen to it on her podcast Eldritch Girl, I recommend it if you don’t an unpolished production – content warnings are included before each chapter)!
So I actually know very little about Gothic books but I keep stumbling into them to varying degrees… and overall, I do think I enjoy them? At least when I find indie queer/BIPOC takes on them. And this delivered on both a great setting, a lovely, dark atmosphere on some incredible characters.

APPLE PODCASTS REVIEW

Beautiful

After listening to the episode on The Left Page I immediately subscribed. Now after the first episode I know that I can not wait until the next episode. I will be purchasing The Crows book.

APPLE PODCASTS REVIEW

Excellent book and stories!

The Crows is a fantastic book, gothic, dark, and fun! And to listen to it is also a great delight, love what we have, along with the bonus episode already up, can’t wait for what’s next!

If you’re into gothic stories, fun sentient houses and the creepiest and yet most typical English seaside town possible. Come listen to Eldritch Girl and enjoy (and fear) Pagham-on-Sea!
