It's All Horror October and you know what that means: we're talking all horror, all October. This week we cover 2017's banned books and the scariest collection of stories aimed at 10 year olds ever written, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz with legitimately bone chilling illustrations by Stephen Gammel. This is a truly fun packed episode. We've got anecdotes, an original song recording, and a quiz. You won't want to miss it. Promise it's not too scary.

Next week we will be reading The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. Find it in a haunted house and then read along with us!

In an attempt to read a great feminist classic, we chose to discuss Erica Jong's Fear of Flying. Is it a classic, does it hold up, do we even feel good calling it feminist? Look no further, the answers are here.
