It's spooky season and we are tackling horror in our ongoing genre series. What is horror? Why do we need it? Is it for everyone? These are just a few questions we attempt to answer in this very special October episode. Horror has so many layers and can be much deeper than it appears on the surface. Join our conversation as we take a closer look at the stories and authors that often keep us up at night.
Do you read horror? What are you favorites? Let us know on the socials and send us an email. We want to hear from you!
