A Blade So Black: Urban Fantasy
In this special episode of Improvably Bad Books, we mix urban fantasy with a dash of tabletop RPG chaos! Join Jill, Zoe, and Erin as they dive into A Blade So Black by L.L. McKinney—a reimagined Alice in Wonderland with a thrilling urban twist.
Zoe leads as Dungeon Master in a Dungeons & Dragons-inspired campaign, guiding our improv actors through Wonderland’s magical and perilous landscapes. Can they battle nightmares, navigate glowing rose bushes, and survive an ooze-spewing scorpion-bear? You'll have to listen to find out!
The team also discusses the book's compelling mix of fantasy and real-world themes, from Alice’s high school struggles to her battles in Wonderland. Plus, they explore why this modern heroine resonates with readers and why the sequel is worth adding to your TBR.
Whether you're a fan of D&D, Alice in Wonderland, or just love a good story, this episode will have you rolling for perception!
