The Wrath of the iOtians

Interview with New York Times Bestseller Kayla Cottingham, Author of This Delicious Death

Jake and Ron Episode 68

Jake and Ron are so thrilled to have New York Times bestselling author Kayla Cottingham on the Wrath of the iOtians! Her first book, My Dearest Darkest, became a New York Times and Publisher's Weekly bestseller. Her latest, This Delicious Death (Sourcebooks Fire) is a story about four best friends with a hunger for human flesh attend a music festival in the desert they discover a murderous plot to expose and vilify the girls and everyone like them. 

Two years ago, a small percentage of population underwent a transformation known as the Hollowing. Those affected were only able to survive by consuming human flesh. The people who went without quickly became feral, turning on their friends and family. Luckily, scientists were able to create a synthetic version of human meat that would satisfy their hunger. As a result, humanity slowly began to return to normal.

Cut to Zoey, Celeste, Valeria, and Jasmine, four hollow girls living in Southern California. As a last hurrah before graduation they decide to attend a musical festival in the heart of the desert. They have a cooler filled with seltzer, vodka, and Synflesh… and are ready to party. 

But on the first night of the festival Val goes feral and ends up killing and eating a boy in one of the bands. As other festival guests start disappearing around them the girls soon discover someone is targeting people like them. And if they can't figure out how to stop it, and soon, no one at the festival is getting out alive.

It was so much fun chatting with Kayla, and we are inspired by her! The future of horror is in good hands.
