06 | Halloween | Short Stories and Halloween Favorites



Hey Genre Junkies! Sandra, Scott, and a new guest Jen are closing out the Halloween Season! We discuss the 1820 American folktale “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” by Washington Irving, as well as the short story “Penlight” – a narrative so gruesome Scott couldn’t even participate. We also throw in some recommendations for other spooky books, movies, and more!

The second half has a few audio issues. Scott messed up his microphone somehow, but it’s still a lot of fun.

00:00 – The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

16:29 – Penlight (discussion of extreme violence)

32:50 – Halloween favorites!

05 | Horror | “The Fisherman” by John Langan



This week, we are continuing our Halloween season celebration with the horror novel “The Fisherman” by John Langan.

ATTENTION: In the early morning on Monday October 9th, people were woken to the sound of horror. Outside their windows, fires were burning all around them. They had moments to leave their homes and run. As of now, 22,000 residents are still evacuated, at least 40 people have died, 70 are missing, and thousands of homes are destroyed. While we are not affiliated with this cause, we at Genre Junkies ask that you help our friends and neighbors in Northern California by supporting the North Bay Fire Relief Fund by visiting www.redwoodcu.org/northbayfirerelief. 100% of your tax-deductible donations will go directly to support those affected. Thank you.

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!
