Show Notes

Happy Holidays, Attic Wives. We're back from an extended hiatus to bring you some Christmas lit that's sure to leave you... well, not really merry, but certainly happy it's no longer 1840.

Vel, our guest from our episode on DIE HARD, PYGMALION, and CALL ME BY YOUR NAME is back to discuss Hans Christian Andersen's "Little Match Girl," which is a holiday classic that leaves one feeling unmoored, heartbroken, and desperately sad.

You can follow Vel on social media at @WhiskeyAndSpite (Twitter, Instagram).

If you're familiar with the movie, it means you probably know NOTHING about the book. JAWS by Peter Benchley is an absolute classic, a multi-million dollar earning blockbuster book turned movie that just about MADE Steven Spielberg. But what's up with the novel? Just some of your classic summertime, monster-movie beach read type stuff like mafia-led real estate fraud, class politics, and dead sheep.
