Have You Read This? A Podcast for Bookworms

Fans of Fight Club, Se7en, and The Silence of the Lambs should dig this novel by Erik Fox. Monarch follows a detective trying to track down a killer, but this one isn't what you would normally expect.

Backrooms is set to hit theaters tomorrow. Piranesi by Susanna Clarke is said to have similar vibes. Did I add it as a favorite or set it on fire in my drive way?

Goodreads announces a new feature regarding DNFs, did Theo of Golden live up to the hype we see online or was it total crap, and a teaser about a unique piece of dystopian fiction that I will discuss in a future episode (No, it doesn't have to do with our current political state).

One thriller, one extreme horror, and one book considered the most dangerous book in America. It has been an interesting time lately for reading 'round these here parts.

Featured Books:

• You Watched in Silence by H. Lee Justine
• The Border House by Simone Trojahn

Released in 1996 and later adapted into a film, this book seems to slide under the radar of many readers. I finally pulled it off the shelf to see if it lived up to the hype or not.
