A podcast about the books you've been meaning to read. Updates Mondays.
Overdue is a podcast about the books you've been meaning to read. Join Andrew and Craig each week as they tackle a new title from their backlog. Classic literature, obscure plays, goofy murder mysteries: they'll read it all, one overdue book at a time.
This week, Andrew's wife Suzannah sits in for Craig to discuss BookTok darling Casey McQuiston's book One Last Stop. An unlikely combination of gay romance and sci-fi elements, this one is the rare romance novel that will keep readers guessing.

Sometimes, a book comes along that is the exact combination of horny, spooky, and appetizing that makes you need to come on your friends' book podcast and talk about it. A Certain Hunger is about sex and cannibalism, in that order, and we needed a total of four people to help process it in an hour-or-so of airtime.

And the person that caused all these deaths is the least expected thing of all. If this sounds like YOUR life, you'll feel right at home in these girls' undead gang.

Carmilla is a double-whammy: an English-language vampire novel that predates Dracula by nearly three decades, and an edit from Carmen Maria Machado that both underlines the story's gay subtext and has a bit of fun with readers while doing it. Just try not to take her notes too literally and you'll be fine, probably.

This love-letter to sci-fi, libraries, and friends forged through literature is also a fairy tale of sorts about a young girl saving her world. Is the magic real? Probably!
Wilde's fairy tales probably aren't the best-known of his works, but that doesn't mean they don't get a little Wilde-y. Just don't expect many happily-ever-afters.
