You are assuming they would still have contact with their friends and close family, there is no evidence of that.. Even if they did,that doesn't biologically change what they have become, which is not human!  My dog behaves very human at times, but he isn't human.

The person is changed from a human into something that eats humans. It does bring up a difficult question about whether we can call a different species "evil" for going along with its nature but humans aren't going to like it.

Abuse is complicated and spouses often react in questionable ways, or what defies logic to someone not living under that kind of condition.  Remember this woman still loved or thought she still loved her husband in spite of what he was doing to her and her family.  That sounds twisted, but often the case, often the law is no help either, this is why so many abused spouses end up dead.  After the soul gaze getting the full picture, or a fuller picture of what was going on, and remember at this point Monica was still making a plea for her husband that he was once a good man.. While Harry did bring it to her attention that she should have told him everything when she first saw him, he understood and didn't hold it against her.

• Podcasting/audio*
• Audio editing*
• Podcast RSS Feed posting*
• Video streaming*
• Website creation/customization*
• Graphic/branding creation
• Story narration (I expect us to be reading excerpts from the books, and while we can’t hope to match Mr. Marsters, I do hope we can avoid people bleeding from the ears)
• Knowledge of/interest in literary structure/tropes/critique
• Knowledge of/interest in mythology (the better to compare to Butcher’s use of mythological characters in the Files).
• Any other skill/expertise/knowledge that might be of use in such an endeavor

• This would be a re-read focused podcast, filled with spoilers up to the current book (at the time the episode is recorded).
• I’d like to start with a bi-weekly recording schedule (one episode every other week), with an option to accelerate that to weekly shows at some point in the future (if feasible).
• My aim is for each episode to examine 1-2 chapters at a time, and last around 50-60 minutes
• Each episode would start immediately diving into the book section we are reading for the day.  We would work our way through the section, alternating between reading an excerpt (of 2-3 paragraphs) and just describing what happens.  We would stop at any point where we have questions to discuss or information of note to bring up.
• After we finish our reading section (~30-40 mins), we may include a special segment at the end of the episode.
  
  • Examples include: Just how “Noir” is Dresden anyway?  Examinations of Dresden’s magic system, feminism, chauvinism, and the male gaze, fan theories, Listener Q&A, examinations of specific themes in the Files, and more.
• I live in the US Eastern time zone (UTC-5) and will need to schedule most of the recording sessions in the evening (after 7pm ET).
• I want this to be a high quality production.  That means good microphones/equipment, quiet recording environments, and no distractions.
• Episodes would be recorded “Live to Tape”. This means we would record as if we were live, which minimizes the amount of editing after the fact.  I plan to mark places where editing is required and ‘fix it in post’ as needed.
• Eventually we may shift to recording ‘live’ to a youtube stream for viewers to watch.
• I do not plan to monetize this at the start.  This is a passion project, not a job.  I am open to adding a patreon down the road (if the quality of the show is up to my standards) to allow fans to show their appreciation and cover costs.
