my ex, the antichrist by Craig DiLouie | love can be hell

In this episode of The Book Fix Podcast, we dive into My Ex, the Antichrist by Craig DiLouie, a twisted blend of love story, horror, and apocalypse. The novel follows Lily Lawlor, a punk musician whose life and career are forever tied to her former bandmate and ex, Drake Morgan—a man who just might be the antichrist. From the chaos of a deadly Battle of the Bands in 1999, to Lily’s shocking murder confession a decade later, and finally to her decision to break her silence in the present day, the story unfolds like a dark oral history. Through interviews, confessions, and blurred lines between faith, fear, and memory, DiLouie crafts a tale where heartbreak collides with prophecy, and where we’re left wondering: how much of it is true?

Join us as we unpack the novel’s unique structure, its exploration of love and destruction, and the way DiLouie blends punk rock grit with apocalyptic dread. And of course, listen in to hear whether My Ex, the Antichrist fixed our lives—or not.
