  • Episode 39 - Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay
    Jul 9 2024

    For our next episode, we’re reading Paul Tremblay’s brand-new release, Horror Movie. Emily C. Hughs from The New York Times Book Review said, “As I read Horror Movie, I found myself marveling at its high-wire act ... It takes bravado and skill to layer overlapping narrative frames like this without sacrificing tension, but Horror Movie never once loses its momentum or its way. It’s a smart book, smartly told, and should establish Tremblay as not just one of our great horror writers but one of our great fiction writers, full stop.” Ashley says, “As the reader, I was kind of, like, stressing out for The Thin Kid as the actor because he has no idea what’s happening to him… we have no idea what’s happening, we know bad things happen at some point.” Korey says, “I liked it. I liked this one a lot. This was my favorite Paul Tremblay book since A Head Full of Ghosts.” Tune in now! 🧠 👺

    Jun 25 2024
    Our new episode is here and we’re discussing Why Fish Don’t Exist by Lulu Miller. Booklist’s Courtney Enthrone said, “The book that emerges from her research reads like a podcast episode, blending investigative journalism, biography, and a dash of memoir. The questions posed by Miller’s dive into Jordan’s life are profound and open-ended ... Gripping, and sure to be on readers’ minds long after the final pages.” Ashley says, “If you like RadioLab, this is your jam.” Korey says, “It was interesting the way that this book worked on me. At the end, when she ties everything together, I was like, oh that was really nice.” Tune into our new episode now! 🧠 🐟

    It’s the 50th anniversary of Stephen King’s debut novel, Carrie, so we’re reading it! Esquire said, "Stephen King’s first novel changed the trajectory of horror fiction forever. Fifty years later, authors say it’s still challenging and guiding the genre." Ashley says, “It’s a classic. I think you’ve probably already read it or watched the movie.” Korey says, “The book will still kind of surprise you. I think there are things about it that are interesting that you either have forgotten or are not really in the movie, and I think it’s cool.” Tune into our latest episode now! 🧠🐷🩸
