On this episode of Complicated Conversations, we welcome Stephanie Wrobel to discuss her suspenseful new novel, The Hitchcock Hotel, a story about a Hitchcock fanatic with an agenda who invites old friends for a weekend stay at his secluded themed hotel. As the past is revealed, tensions rise, loyalties break down, and chaos ensues. Stephanie chats with Carinn about her inspiration for the book and how she incorporated Hitchcockian elements into the story, her *very cool* approach to writing multiple points of view, the importance of setting in her storytelling, which in this novel includes the creepy hotel and Stephanie's own campus nostalgia. The Hitchcock Hotel is out now - buy it, read it, share it, and listen to our spoiler-free chat wherever you get your podcasts.
