Melanie R. AndersonHOST
And I'm not going to tell too much about this because I don't want to spoil anything.
Melanie R. AndersonHOST
But, you know, I've seen comparisons of it to Spirited Away and I could see that.
Melanie R. AndersonHOST
And it is it's portal fiction.
Melanie R. AndersonHOST
So I would describe it as dark fantasy, maybe horror fantasy.
Melanie R. AndersonHOST
What are you into, Lisa?
Lisa KrogerHOST
First of all, I want to say that I do think The Winter Folk was one of those books that was just crafted for you specifically, Mel.
Lisa KrogerHOST
I do think that the Spirited Away connection, especially the section of Spirited Away where she's at the, I forget what they call it, the spa area that she's working in.
Lisa KrogerHOST
If that were like Appalachian, horror like that section was told through Appalachian horror I think I think that fits it really well um I have a couple of things number one I want to mention that I went ahead and bought on your recommendation Mel um How to Kill a Guy in 10 Dates the uh Shailene Thompson book that's kind of the slasher rom-com um I I don't know it just it sounded so cute and this idea of like um kind of speed dating and these two best friends there and then suddenly they're in a a slasher just sounded fun to me um I've also been looking for things lately that are just a bit, I guess, lighter and more fun because I've been reading some heavy things.
Felipe ShimonHOST
The skeletal creatures had to be animated differently than the human counterparts due to the lack of muscular systems.
Felipe ShimonHOST
There was an inspiration from Hayao Miyazaki's anime film Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle, as well as the live-action film John Wick.
Felipe ShimonHOST
Are you a John Wick boy? I'm not.
Felipe ShimonHOST
I've seen Ballerina, and that's it, which is crazy because that's, like, the fifth one.

And also when the parents in Spirited Away, when the parents sit down and they start gorging themselves and turning to pigs, I would be a fucking pig.
Kevin CarlsonPANELIST
