Grady Hendrix - How To Sell a Haunted House

This week on the podcast, we're talking to one of the most unique and imaginative authors on the contemporary horror scene: Grady Hendrix. The bestselling author of Horrorstor, The Final Girl Support Group and The Southern Book Club's Guide to Vampire Slaying is back with his latest, How to Sell a Haunted House. We talk about bringing some fun and emotional substance back to the horror genre while still making space for utterly creepy things like reanimated taxidermied squirrels and demonic puppets! 

MI Right to Read Miniseries- Part One

We're here today, once again, to talk about attempts to ban books from libraries. We'll look back at last year, especially some of the instances that made headlines, but we'll also talk about the rights that library patrons have when it comes to intellectual freedoms and privacy. We are also fairly caffeinated on this episode, and we certainly did our best to keep things a bit light. For more information, though, on MLA's task force for intellectual freedoms, visit MI Right to Read. https://www.mirighttoread.com/
