    Ep 112 Book BINGO A book chosen purely because the cover intrigued you

    In this episode, the crones spin the great wheel of Book Bingo and land on the square that demands absolute superficiality: judge a book by its cover. No blurbs. No reviews. No recommendations. Just vibes, colours, and whatever strange energies radiate from the front design. Chell is lured in by the bold, unsettling imagery of Before and After by Andrew Shanahan — a cover that whispers, “This might get weird,” and oh… it does. Annette succumbs to the eerie, earthy strangeness of When Darkness Loves Us by Elizabeth Engstrom — a cover that promises something feral, something tender, and something deeply, deliciously wrong. Together, they unravel how these covers seduced them, whether the stories lived up to the promise (or threat), and what happens when you let your eyeballs, not your brain choose your next read. Expect cackling, tangents, mild existential dread, and the occasional moment of genuine literary insight. SPOLIERS, MATURE THEMES AND LANUGAUGE SOME LISTENERS MAYFIND OFFENSIVE.

    Ep 111 RAMBLE If books had scent profiles which one would you turn into a candle

    In this delightfully unhinged ramble episode, the croneswander off the beaten path and straight into the world of imaginary candle-making. If books had scent profiles, which stories would make the most irresistible, haunting, or downright questionable candles?   Annette brings the eerie forest shadows of The Watchersby A.M. Shine and the nostalgic, neon-tinged strangeness of The Saturday Night Ghost Club by Craig Davidson. Expect notes of damp moss, old secrets, and maybe a hint of childhood trauma.   Chell counters with the gothic decadence of Dracula, thewhimsical, smoky magic of The Midnight Circus by Erin Morgenstern, and because great minds think alike another dive into The Watchers. Apparently that book just smells like something worth bottling.   Together, the crones explore which stories would makecomforting candles, which would make cursed ones, and which should probably never be lit indoors.   Grab your tea, your cauldron, or your favourite questionable candle and settle in for a cozy, chaotic chat. #BookScents #BookCandles #IfBooksHadScents #ScentTheStory #BookishCandles #BookishRamble #TheWatchers #AMShine #TheSaturdayNightGhostClub#CraigDavidson #Dracula #MidnightCircus #ErinMorgenstern

    Ep 109 A Mind of My Own by Kathy Burke

    The two crones settle in with steaming mugs and a copy of Kathy Burke’s A Mind of My Own, ready to revel in every page. Fans of Burke’s razor-sharp wit and fearless honesty, they find themselves nodding, cackling and occasionally tearing up as they wander through her life stories. This episode is less a review than a joyful celebration with two seasoned souls tipping their crooked hats to a woman who speaks with unflinching truth and wicked humour. Inspired by Burke’s brilliance, the crones rise a little straighter, swear a little louder and laugh until the rafters shake because when Kathy Burke writes, the crones listen, love and loudly approve.

    EP 107 REVIEW Sacculina by Philip Fracassi

    Two crones settle by the fire, salt-stained shawls wrappedtight and crack open Sacculina. One cackles at the brine-soaked horror, the other mutters about family curses and the sea’s appetite. Together they weigh Fracassi’s tale of parasitic dread, partmyth, part body horror, against the eternal pull of the abyss. The verdict? A barnacled gem, dripping with menace, bestconsumed with a stiff drink and a wary glance at the tide…     Synopsis: Strang isn’t the small, quaint town it appears to be. It’shaunted every night by a creature the townsfolk refer to as Halloween. Once the sun sets each day, Halloween emerges to collect its treats: a small, live offering from each household. The residents comply because no one wants to bethe target of Halloween’s tricks. But the nightmare of residing in Strang is nothing compared to the yearly ritual Halloween demands of the citizens on All Hallows’ Eve.   Stats: Pages: Length: 90 pages / Audio: 2hrs 21 mins   SPOLIERS, MATURE THEMES AND LANUGAUGE SOME LISTENERS MAY FIND OFFENSIVE.
