Allison Hewitt Is Trapped by Madeleine Roux

It’s shitty and it’s lazy and we are NOT having it up in here! Madeleine also gets a full rant in about how this author started the train of deciding plot points and other things about your books after interpretation. It feels like an extra betrayal, extra hurt, extra sore. It’s even harder to discover JK Rowling is a total shithead in real time as a culture than knowing that, for example, Lovecraft is a dick. We also talk about our former love of Harry Potter and what it’s like experiencing the downfall of a favourite author in real time. Any creator will put their own values and views into their work.

Madeleine’s not here for your bullshit theory that politics don’t belong in art: There is ALWAYS politics in art and anyone who tries to tell you different is lying. It’s how she makes her writing so honest, real, and raw. That’s why she writes about such hard truths. Something Madeleine believes is so necessary is putting real world scenarios in fiction writing. Will Madeleine ever tell you what she wants you to experience? Probably not, unless it’s plot specific! It all comes down to how you perceive the works. We also talk about how art and writing is subjective.

This is way scarier than the mainstream horror of a serial killer at a summer camp. You know, real world things that women go through every single day. Madeleine’s horror can actually happen: sexual assault, consent, privilege, abusive relationships, and gaslighting. Ask yourself what are you truly afraid of?

She’s literally redefining the horror genre. In fact, Madeleine is making damn waves in her industry and topping bestseller’s lists. Madeleine shares what it’s like being a horror writer in such a male-dominated craft. We’re so excited to have Madeleine with us on this episode! It is literally full of the most incredible knowledge bombs (kinda hate that phrase but we’re going with it) possible. Madeleine’s most recent release is Shadows Rising, a World of Warcraft novel preceding the latest expansion, Shadowlands. Allison Hewitt Is Trapped quickly spread throughout the blogosphere, bringing a unique serial fiction experience to readers. Shortly after, she began the experimental fiction blog Allison Hewitt Is Trapped. In the spring of 2009, Madeleine completed an Honors Term at Beloit College, proposing, writing, and presenting a full-length historical fiction novel. She received her BA in Creative Writing and Acting from Beloit College in 2008. Madeleine Roux is the New York Times Bestselling author of the ASYLUM series. We’re joined by New York Times bestselling novelist, Madeleine Roux, who’s redefining the horror genre one fear at a time. The real fear is sexual assault and living with trauma.
