The ADHD Book Club Podcast celebrates its 50th episode by revisiting the first book we ever tried to read together, High Rise by J. G. Ballard! Martin Amis of New Statesman called it, “Harsh and ingenious! High Rise is an intense and vivid bestiary, which lingers unsettlingly in the mind.” Ashley says, “If you’re into, like, dystopian thrillers, it’s definitely an interesting take.” Korey says, “Ultimately, I like it.” Tune in to hear what else we have to say now! 🧠 🌆

A new episode of The ADHD Book Club Podcast is here, and we’re discussing A Short Stay in Hell by Steven L. Peck. Korey says, “It sort of shows up in, like, horror novel circles, and I guess it is existentially upsetting, maybe. I guess. Like, if I went to hell and it was like this, that would, uh, fucking suck.” Ashley says, “It’s just super infinite, which is the horror.” Tune in now to hear more! 🧠 🔥

’Tis the season for hot holiday romance! In this episode, we’re discussing The Nightmare Before Kissmas by Sara Raasch. Camille from Joyfully Jay said, “The Nightmare Before Kissmas offers readers so much more than a sweet little holiday romance. In addition to the spicy, emotional bond that develops between Coal and Hex, there’s Coal’s personal struggle to find self-worth after years of his father reinforcing the notion that Coal is nothing but a screw-up. If you’re looking for a story where a seemingly impossible love grows, even in the harshest environment, I think you’ll find a lot to enjoy in this book.” Ashley says, “I had a really nice time, and I recommend it if you want a slightly steamy fantasy romance about the holidays!” Korey says, “It’s fun! It’s cute!” Tune in now! 🧠 🎅

A new episode is here! We read Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. Megan Garber of The Atlantic said, “Weir’s writing emphasizes what it feels like to be a human body navigating an inhuman environment ... Project Hail Mary is an elegant inversion of The Martian: Instead of humanity working to save the life of one person, here is one person working to save all of humanity ... Weir is a master of the narrative splice, and Project Hail Mary cuts between Grace’s memories of Earth and his present in space. The effect serves not only to keep the story propulsive; it also suggests a fundamental continuity between terrestrial realities and cosmic ones.” Ashley says, “This is science fiction, by the way. Just straight-up sci-fi, in space, like, real.” Korey says, “It’s basically just chill alien vibes.” Listen to the full episode now! 🧠 🚀

Episode 46 of The ADHD Book Club Podcast is out now, and we read My Death by Lisa Tuttle. Neil Gaiman said, “Lisa Tuttle is, quietly and unsensationally, the finest practitioner of unsettling fiction writing today. She can make you doubt reality, she can chill your flesh and walk you into the darkness with gentle, perfectly constructed prose. Her authorial voice is so sensible that it's easy to forget, over and over, in story after story, that she's one of the dangerous ones, the kind of writer that somebody really should have warned you about.” Korey says, “It’s really intriguing and well-written, and the whole time, you’re just sort of like, what is happening?” Ashley says, “Not much is happening, it’s just got a lot of beautiful language and kind of this, like, interesting reminiscence about it.” Tune into our latest episode for more details! 🧠 🖼️
