Miranda Beverly-Whittemore on Cult Fiction

<p>A Little Bit Culty –</p><p>This episode is a little bit different. Author Miranda Beverly-Whittemore is not a former cult member or a cult awareness expert like most of our guests, but her novel Fierce Little Thing weaves a culty tale that almost makes you think she is. It’s a little like “I Know What You Did Last Summer,” except in this case, it’s “I Know What You Did When You Were a Teenager 20 Summers Ago While Living on a Survivalist Commune Run by a Charismatic Maniac in Rural Maine.” She joins Sarah and Nippy to talk about communes, cult fiction, and how “The Vow” inspired the cultiverse of her latest story.</p><br><p><strong>About Our Guest: </strong></p><p>Miranda Beverly-Whittemore is the New York Times bestselling author of <em>Bittersweet</em>, <em>June,</em> <em>a</em>nd <em>Set Me Free. </em>A recipient of the Crazyhorse Prize in Fiction, she lives and writes in Brooklyn.
