TW: Body horror, self harm

This week, Anna challenges Em to read our spookiest story yet, as we head deep into the jungles of Mexico with Scott Smith's The Ruins. We'll experience all the horrors of drunk tourists, sad handjobs, and of course, very scary plants. Come get creeped out with us on this fortnight's episode!

A very special thank you to Ben Cope for our theme song! Check out his YouTube channel: youtube.com/fretwiz.

Rather be reading this fortnight:

Misery by Stephen King

Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
