It’s time to get spooky with the #BookSquad and special guests Lisa Kröger and Melanie Anderson, authors of "Monster, She Wrote" (just out from Quirk!!) and hosts of the Know Fear Cast! Join us as we discuss the Shirley Jackson classic "We Have Always Lived in the Castle." We talk about what makes the book frightening, sympathetic magic and rituals, why we love ghosts, and how Shirley Jackson fits into the horror genre. Plus, learn all about Lisa and Melanie’s book and some horror queens you might not have heard of. Head to the #BookSquadBlog for more content, including recaps, reviews and more! Read along with us for our next #bookpisode on 10/7, where we’ll cover "Nine Perfect Strangers" by Liane Moriarty. Our next #othersode will be on #squad favorite Grady Hendrix’s novel "My Best Friend’s Exorcism." Join us on 10/21 for more spooky times!
