In this episode of The Literary Spiral, author Rosie Sycamore discusses her novel, My Violent Muse.

We dive into the complicated relationship between Morello and Florence, the seductive nature of revenge, and why readers are so fascinated by women in fiction who are allowed to be angry, violent, selfish, and completely messy. Rosie discusses the blurred line between muse and manipulation, the romanticization of the tortured artist, and what happens when someone fighting against exploitation begins using power and control herself.

If you love female rage, weird-girl fiction, morally gray women, psychological thrillers, dark literary fiction, revenge stories, and books that make you question exactly who you're supposed to be rooting for, this conversation is for you.
