If you’ve ever cracked open House of Leaves, you know it’s not just a book — it’s an experience. But how many classic horror tropes are lurking within its twisting pages? In this episode, we’re peeling back the wallpaper (and maybe our sanity) to uncover the eerie elements that make House of Leaves one of the most unsettling horror novels ever written - while throwing in a few other novels along the way.

We’ll talk claustrophobic spaces, unreliable narrators, found footage, the unknowable void, and all the ways authors weaponize storytelling itself. Grab your flashlight — and maybe don’t listen to this one alone.

Cats have padded their way into some of our favorite stories — from loyal companions to mysterious familiars, mischievous sidekicks, and even quiet observers of human chaos. In this episode, we’re curling up with a cozy blanket (and probably a cat or two) to talk about the most memorable felines in fiction — including Buttercup from The Hunger Games, Calliope from The House in the Cerulean Sea, Church from Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter series, and more.

Join us as we explore what makes literary cats so enduringly lovable, how they reflect their worlds and owners, and why no magical (or mundane) story feels complete without a whiskered friend.
