When the past comes back to haunt a small town, it's up to one boy to contend with what happened while discovering just what safety really means in Riley Sager's Middle of the Night. Sager joins us to talk about his inspirations for the novel, 90s nostalgia, the spookiness of the suburbs and more with guest host, Chris Gillespie. We end this episode with TBR Top Off book recommendations from Donald and Jamie.

This episode of Poured Over was hosted by Chris Gillespie and mixed by Harry Liang.
