The #BookSquad returns to Castle Rock for a short, uplifting novella by Stephen King. We dig into Elevation to discuss small town politics, tolerance, body issues, and what the heck is going on with our protagonist’s strange weight loss. Plus, we interview Kelly Watt, author of the novel “Mad Dog.” Join us for an extra book in our next #othersode on February 10 as we talk about “The Remaking” by Clay McLeod Chapman. Then join us on February 24 for our next official #bookpisode on “The Need” by Helen Philips. Send listener feedback to [email protected] and don’t forget to subscribe on Apple podcasts!
