    Sarah welcomes acclaimed author Mark Stevens to discuss his gripping new crime fiction thriller, No Lie Lasts Forever. This heart-pounding novel reimagines the Zodiac-style killer story with a chilling twist: what happens when a reformed serial killer must track down a copycat trading on his notorious name? No Lie Lasts Forever introduces listeners to Harry Kugel, the infamous “PDQ Killer” who walked away from his violent past more than fifteen years ago.

And can Harry resist the pull of his darkest instincts long enough to save them both?

    Vanishing Daughters by Cynthia Pelayo | GSMC Book Review Podcast

    Sarah welcomes Bram Stoker Award–winning author Cynthia Pelayo to discuss her haunting new psychological suspense novel, Vanishing Daughters. The story follows journalist Briar Thorne, a woman still reeling from her mother’s mysterious death in their crumbling Victorian mansion on Chicago’s South Side. As she tries to make sense of her grief, Bri is plagued by unsettling visions—a woman in white begging to come home, eerie music playing in locked rooms, and the terrifying feeling of being consumed by the dark. While Bri struggles to convince herself these experiences are nothing more than the echoes of loss, a more sinister threat looms. A serial killer has taken the lives of fifty-one women in the Chicago area. As Bri begins to investigate the murders, she encounters a stranger who claims her nightmares hold the key to uncovering the truth—not just about the killer, but about the restless dead. With danger closing in, Bri must confront chilling secrets hidden between the shadows of folklore and reality… before she becomes the next victim. Sarah and Cynthia discuss the novel’s inspirations, the intersection of real-life crime and ghost stories, and how folklore can shape—and haunt—our understanding of danger. They also explore the way Vanishing Daughters blends psychological tension with supernatural horror, creating a story that lingers long after the final page.
