What starts as a complicated love triangle quickly becomes something far darker.

When Louise, a single mother, begins an affair with her married boss, David, she unexpectedly forms a friendship with his wife, Adele. As Louise becomes entangled in their unsettling marriage, strange dreams, manipulation, psychological games, and impossible secrets begin to surface. Every chapter peels back another layer until the novel delivers one of the most shocking endings in modern psychological thrillers.

One of the most talked-about psychological thrillers ever written—and we're diving into every twisted detail.

This week on Book Slayers, we unpack Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough. We explore the novel that convinced an entire generation of readers that they knew exactly where the story was going... right before pulling the rug out from under everyone.

In this spoiler-filled deep dive, we discuss:

📚 The book and why it became a thriller phenomenon

🧠 Louise, David, Adele, and Rob: who they really are beneath the surface

👀 The clues hidden throughout the novel

Do you ever wonder where your favorite disney characters originated? WELL DON’T haha

Seven books. Seven fairy tales. Hundreds of reasons to never trust a magical transformation.

This week on Book Slayers, we're diving headfirst into the twisted, grotesque, and strangely addictive world of Jasper Moore. We read ALL SEVEN of his grimdark fairy tale novellas—and let's just say our reactions could not have been more different.

Bonny was obsessed with the creativity, the darkness, and the absolutely bonkers body horror.

Betty? Not so much.

But one thing we absolutely agree on: these books are creepy as hell.

We're talking:

🖤 Twisted fairy tale retellings🖤 Body horror that made us physically recoil🖤 Uncomfortable transformations🖤 Monsters that aren't always the villains🖤 Which books worked for us—and which absolutely did not

If you've ever wondered what grimdark actually means, this episode is for you.

Grimdark is a subgenre of dark fiction where hope is scarce, morality is messy, and terrible things happen to characters on a regular basis. Think brutal worlds, flawed people, violence, horror, and stories that aren't afraid to make you uncomfortable.

Jasper Moore takes those grimdark elements and injects them straight into classic fairy tales, creating stories that are equal parts horrifying, fascinating, and deeply weird.

So grab your cursed glass slippers, ignore the ominous whispers in the forest, and join us as we rank, roast, and reluctantly admire one of the most unsettling collections we've ever read.

⚔️ Which Jasper Moore novella disturbed you the most?

Are you a fan of Peter Pan?

Marked not safe from Brom ruining my childhood…

Peter Pan is supposed to save children.

This one recruits them into war.

This week on Book Slayers, Betty and Bonny venture into the twisted woods of The Child Thief by Brom—a brutal, heartbreaking, and absolutely bonkers reimagining of Peter Pan.

We're talking:

✨ A Peter Pan who is equal parts savior and manipulative menace✨ Flesh-eating monsters and nightmare creatures✨ Trauma, war, and what it means to grow up✨ Why literally every adult in this book deserves jail✨ The most horrifying fairies we've ever encountered✨ And the question we cannot stop asking…

Peter Pan isn't here to save children.

This week on Book Slayers, Betty and Bonny deep dive The Child Thief by Brom—a dark, horrifying, and emotionally devastating Peter Pan retelling.

Expect:

• Dark fantasy discussion

• Unhinged reactions

• Horror creatures

• Twisted fairy tale lore

• Trauma analysis

• Questionable jokes

Was Peter ever the hero?

Expect dark humor, unhinged theories, hot takes, and probably a few moments where we question why we willingly read books that emotionally devastate us.

Book Slayers: Slay or Decay? Betty Faces Unhinged Thriller Decisions 🔪📚

This week on Book Slayers, we're testing Betty's survival instincts with a series of chaotic thriller games!

First up: Slay or Decay, where Betty has to choose between thriller tropes, characters, and impossible bookish dilemmas. Then we crank up the tension with a round of unhinged thriller decisions that force her to answer the questions every thriller reader secretly thinks about.

Would you open the mysterious door? Trust the suspicious stranger? Ignore the obvious red flags? Betty has opinions... and some of them may concern us.

Join us for laughs, questionable choices, and a whole lot of thriller-loving chaos.

🎙️ New episodes weekly
📚 Thriller lovers welcome
🔪 No survival guarantees

Betty was in the hot seat this week and her thriller survival instincts did NOT inspire confidence. 😂🔪

We played Slay or Decay and put her through a series of unhinged thriller scenarios. Some of her answers were surprisingly smart. Others... would get her eliminated before Chapter 3.

Watch now and tell us: would you survive a thriller novel?

👍 Like if you've ever yelled at a thriller character for making a terrible decision.

🔪 You're alone in a house. You hear a strange noise downstairs at 2 a.m. Do you:

A) Investigate immediately
B) Call someone first
C) Lock the door and pretend you heard nothing

Explain your answer—because apparently Betty's choices have us concerned. 😅📚🔪

Traditional publishing used to be the dream. Now? More authors are asking whether they even need it.

Do you think trad publishing is a dinosaur?

On this episode of Litdulterous Whore, we dive headfirst into the publishing industry's ongoing identity crisis. We talk about how indie publishing has evolved from a "last resort" into a legitimate powerhouse, why authors are choosing self-publishing over traditional deals, and what this shift means for writers trying to build careers in today's book market.

Expect laughs, hot takes, publishing gossip, and a few uncomfortable truths for the gatekeepers.

Whether you're an aspiring author, a seasoned indie publisher, or just someone fascinated by the future of books, this episode delivers an honest—and hilarious—look at the battle between traditional publishing and independent publishing.

Topics include:
• Indie publishing vs traditional publishing
• Literary gatekeeping
• The future of books and authorship
• Why more writers are choosing independence

Have you ever wondered what book scares people the most?

Tonight on Book Slayers, we descend into the terrifying world of Pet Sematary — one of Stephen King’s darkest and most emotionally devastating novels. We break down the biggest differences between the book and the movie adaptations, explore the themes of grief, death, trauma, and denial, and discuss why this story still haunts readers decades later. 

From Zelda’s nightmare fuel to Louis Creed’s psychological collapse, this is a deep dive into the horror the movies only scratched the surface of.

What happens when grief becomes more powerful than death itself?

In this episode of Book Slayers, we do a full deep dive into Pet Sematary and compare it to both film adaptations, including Pet Sematary and Pet Sematary.

We discuss:

• The MAJOR differences between the book and movies

• Why the novel is far more psychologically disturbing

• The true meaning behind the burial ground

• Louis Creed’s descent into madness

• Zelda and childhood trauma

• Pascow, Jud Crandall, and fate

• Why grief is the REAL monster

• Which adaptation captured the horror best

If you love horror books, Stephen King analysis, dark storytelling, psychological horror, and book-to-film comparisons, this episode is for you.
