Novel Theories

by Nicole and Meghan

Novel Theories uncovers what’s beneath the stories we can’t stop thinking about—and we want to know why. From reasonably unhinged theories to evidence with Ironteeth, this is the place where readers come to overthink everything. Join Nicole and Meghan to go deeper into the craft, characters, theories, and lore that keep us up at night. Because reading the book is only the beginning.
