56. Communicating with the dead: Author interview w/ Laura Buchwald
Monday, 12 January, 2026

This week on Literally Heinous, I speak with author Laura Buchwald to talk about her newest book, The Book of Reservations—the second installment in the Ghost Table Trilogy.We get into all of it: West Village restaurant lore, communicating with the dead, and how Laura’s real-life sensitivity to spiritual energy inspired the series. Laura also opens up about her own experiences with mediums, thoughts on the afterlife, and why New Orleans has such a chokehold on her life.Naturally, we wrap with Chic or Freak, where we judge spirituality, writing rituals, and general ghost-adjacent behavior—because I am a journalist first and foremost!
