A spooky girlies delight 🖤

I love this podcast so much. Stephanie not only creates stacks and stacks of TBR piles, but fills my Spotify with final girl tunes, and creates fun interactive book challenges. Every conversation is a good time. I love her guests. I adore the nostalgia of my youth with episodes focusing on Goosebumps read-a-likes. And it just feels like I’m chilling with friends on my drive home, or while I’m making dinner. Thanks 🙏 for taking the time and care creating this Stephanie !

Great reader recommendations!

Well worth a listen for reader recommendations and author chats. Books are ranked as yo how scary they are and content warnings given: a good mix of horror classics and newer works as well as horror adjacent titles—there is something for everyone.
