In this Arthur Miller play 15 people die, because a farmer cheats on his wife. Fake witches, fake Christians, but real treachery. The lies of the many outweigh the truth of the few in 1600's Salem.

This week we read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. Why go to therapy when you could take drugs to split your personality and let the worst version of yourself wreak havoc? Why get a hobby when you could stalk an acquaintance just to know their business?

Mary Shelley really put her foot in this one. Put all your thoughts on this book aside. Dr. Frankenstein is the OG deadbeat dad. The "monster" is just trying to make friends...and take revenge...We swear it's justifiable though!

Another dose of Edgar Allan Poe. We're keeping it light this time though. One's a story about a bird!...triggering a man to spiral into grief. There's a party in the other one!...with the backset of a bloody pandemic. Super light!

What's a little wine, guilt, and murder among friends?

An unexpected Part 3, but can you blame us?? Jack has to "correct" his family lest he not make management at the Overlook. Was it really the ghosts or was this in Jack all along? Either way Hallorann is on his way to tussle with some ghosts for his boy Danny. Why are the ghosts all of sudden racist??? Wendy gets her ass beat. There are murderous topiaries. Y'all gotta hear the end.

How many ghosts does it take to break your brain? Is it really breaking your brain if you want the ghosts? An entire hotel full seems like a lot, but Jack loves to party! Danny is 5 years old with the mind of a 500 yr old future seeing wizard. Jack's a shit dad and husband for several chapters. Is he drunk, a psychopath, possesed, or all the above?

We're baaaAAAaack and with a double drop! A mediocre man drunk on himself takes a job on an isolated mountain in a spooky ass hotel. His son has an imaginary, but not imaginary future seeing vague friend. His wife would probably rather be any place else. Not sure what her problem is. Only a dozen or so people have died here.

Friendship. Betrayal. Pigmeat. These were the ingredients chosen to make the perfect girl, but Eva accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction---emotional negligence. And THUS Nel and Sula's tumultuous friendship was born... Check out this episode before our break for spooky season. Follow us on socials in the meantime on TikTok and Instagram: 2girls1bookpodcast.

This is one of our favorites. Friendship, struggle, and grief is John Steinbeck's game. He's obsessed with the Depression Era and we're obsessed with him. Leave the Vaseline glove behind.
