Cackling in the Void

In this episode, we go into the void reviewing In the Tall Tree. The woods watch back and nothing stays buried for long. We’re talking creeping dread, isolation that gnaws at your ribs, and the kind of horror that doesn’t need monsters to ruin you. What happens when your father is the monster you have been told you need to hide from?

Join us as we spiral through houses we find on Zillow that cost way too much, make absolutely no sense, and were clearly designed by someone who hates comfort, logic, and sometimes windows. We don’t know what they were thinking, but we do have thoughts. Get lost with us in the void as we lose our minds over these houses.

Welcome back to the void, gremlins. This week, we ventured deeper into the void talking about The Playground: Child of Divorce by Aron Beauregard… and we are not sure we survived with our sanity intact.

In this episode, we break down what didn’t work for us, from uneven pacing and underdeveloped emotional stakes to horror that relies more on excess than impact. We talk about where the story could have gone, why the “child of divorce” angle felt hollow, and how extreme horror still needs substance to stick the landing.

Was this book scary, or just loud? Was it saying something, or just daring us to keep reading? Join us as we unpack our frustrations, cackle through the chaos, and ask the void whether this playground should have stayed closed.

As always, let us know what you thought and if the void echoes back.
