03 | Sci-Fi | “Dark Matter” by Blake Crouch



This time on Genre Junkies, Sandra and Scott discuss 2016 hit, “Dark Matter” by Blake Crouch. It’s another long one!

We’re trying something a little bit different and discussing the entire plot of the book. The first section is mostly spoiler-free – nothing you wouldn’t have gotten from the dust jacket. After that, though, you should really read the book before listening.

Enjoy!
