Hosts: Paul Stroessner, Suzanne Mattaboni, Del Roehling

📚 In this episode of GenX Book Club, we dive into Stephen King's chilling collection, Skeleton Crew! Suzanne, Del, and I take a deep look at two standout stories: The Mist and The Monkey. From the eerie atmosphere of a small-town supermarket trapped in a supernatural fog to a haunted toy monkey with a deadly agenda, we explore what makes these stories so unforgettable.

🎬 But that's not all! We also discuss the movie adaptations—how they compare to the original stories, what worked, what didn't, and how King's storytelling translates to the big screen.

If you love classic horror, Stephen King, or just a good dose of GenX nostalgia, this episode is for you!
