This month we read the brand new Hugo winner, The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett!

Tis the season for a spooky movie! The scariest thing about this film is probably a tie between Keanu's accent and Keanu's bowl cut, but we still love it. If you want Dracula delivered to your inbox in real time, check out Dracula Daily! DM: Amy CW: SA Join us on our BRAND NEW Discord server!
Kevin, Amy, and Lori went to ArmadilloCon in Austin, TX and recorded our very first live show! We discussed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2, which was filmed right there in Austin.

We'll be back next month! DM: Stephen Book: Redshirts by John Scalzi

Not exactly a Happy Hour (times are tough, y'all) but we kept recording after our Double Star episode. We tried a weird Capri Sun and talked about stuff. Thanks to Raj for sending us his list of happy things!
