## Resource

In this episode of Demon Toast, King Loke welcomes author Linda Hamilton to discuss her haunting new novel, The Fourth Wife. Set in 1880s Utah, the book peels back the veil on Mormon polygamy, reimagining it through a gothic horror lens. Together, they explore how Linda’s own experiences with religious trauma informed the story’s dark beauty and emotional depth. The conversation moves through the tangled intersections of faith, power, and womanhood, touching on the roles imposed by the church, the cost of devotion, and the quiet rebellion of art. Music, a recurring motif in The Fourth Wife, becomes a symbol of women’s yearning and sacrifice. The episode closes with a look at Linda’s creative process, her hopes for the novel’s release, and what lies ahead in her work.
