What up, Sinister Sitizens,
This week we have a chilling discussion of Joe Hill's Heart Shaped Box. This journey into the life of a deep-south heavy metal star changes host drastically when he orders a ghost online, hoping to add to his collection of the macabre, to find that he has added much more to his life than a mere collection piece. A quick warning, this book contains highly disturbing content from suicide to domestic/sexual abuse, so if those things trigger you in any way, this may not be the book or episode for you.
Our Culture Shoutouts for this week are Ashley Samek and her book blog "No Beauty, Just a Book Nerd," and "How to Drink," a Youtube channel on geek/nerd-core mixology. So if you like drinking a unique cocktail from your favorite fictional universe while reading an entertaining book blog, check out the links below:
