94. Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman
Sep 09, 2025
Taylor Made

In this week’s episode, Kayla and Taylor discuss Christopher Buehlman’s 2012 novel Between Two Fires. Topics include delicious cocktails we had in California, how this book came on our radar, our appreciation of the writing and language used, the horrors unleashed (and how extra they are), the devastation of the Black Death, Heaven vs. Hell (and religion vs. science), and our motley band of heroes. Plus, we try to parse the true nature of Delphine (God?). And we, inevitably, talk religion. 


This week’s drink: Wine

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 bottle of your favorite wine

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Open the bottle, pour into a glass, and drink until you forget the horrors around you
