Welcome back to the Book Squad Podcast! It's finally autumn: the season of crunchy leaves, cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, and scary the crap outta yourself while watching a scary movie. What drives people to watch and read horror stories? Join Book Squad members Polli Kenn, Adam Lopez and special guest Christina James as they talk about the possible reasons behind why some of us like getting scared. In this episode Polli does a lot of navel gazing, Adam hangs out with some goats, and Christina really likes mowing the lawn.
Remember folks, there's a horror & romance novel for everyone: "everyone's got their kink, everyone's got their blood lust level."
Happy Reading!
The Book Squad Podcast is recorded in the SOUND+VISION Studio at Lawrence Public Library. A big shout out to the incredibly talented Heidi Gluck for composing our jingle, and for Joel Bonner for editing the show.
