We're talking Home, Bad Blood, Sanguinarium, and more favorites this week.

I was a youth pastor/music minister kid as well. Interesting that we are all into horror as much as we are now…..
I've read The Stand probably 4 or 5 times and I'll agree my last read I thought Frannie was a bit annoying.
Really love this podcast
What 3 Karin Slaughter books have you read or recommend?
REQUIRED LISTENING for ANYONE seeking a finger-on-the-vein perspective on HORROR as LITERATURE!!! Stephanie and Rachel are informed, compassionate readers and casters. The long and short of it: these hosts know their shit, and if you consider yourself participant in the ongoing exploration of what is arguably our oldest, most primally resonant storytelling form, listen to them. They’ll show you EXACTLY what you need in your freezer.
