We read the legendary Dracula by Bram Stoker. This is the book that put vampires on the map. It has it all. Monsters, Mayhem, Vague Allusions to Sex, and SO MUCH JOURNALING. Prepare yourselves for bad accents and hot takes. Guard yourselves with your heaviest crucifix and your most potent spices.

This week Ben and Nate read a book with moving pictures and sound on something called a "Netflix". It's the Haunting of Hill House miniseries! It's like the original except it fleshed out a lot of the characters and improved on the foundation that the book laid down in almost every way! Seriously it's great you should check it out!Support the showBlue Sky - https://bsky.app/profile/wordsaboutbooks.bsky.socialDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CThreads - https://www.threads.net/@wordsaboutbookspodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/

The boys start Spooky Month 2022 with a discussion of a classic in ever sense of the word: The Haunting of Hill House. Is there a spooky ghost? How can we defeat a House that stands on its own? And why the hell did Shirley Jackson think having two late-game cartoon characters would be a good idea? All these answers AND MORE await you!I wondered about calling this "Discussion at House on the Hill" as a parody of Betrayal at House on the Hill. But then nobody would know or care what I was talking about. So instead you get a boring title.Support the showBlue Sky - https://bsky.app/profile/wordsaboutbooks.bsky.socialDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CThreads - https://www.threads.net/@wordsaboutbookspodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/

We conclude our discussion of Jim Butcher's Grave Peril. We follow Harry Dresden as he infiltrates a vampire party, and then escapes, and then reinfiltrates the vampire's head quarters even less prepared than he was the first time. Is it crazy? Or is it just crazy enough to work? Support the showBlue Sky - https://bsky.app/profile/wordsaboutbooks.bsky.socialDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CThreads - https://www.threads.net/@wordsaboutbookspodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/

Two Dresden novices jump into the series for the very first time. They discover a world of magic, monsters, weird audio book direction, and many many descriptions of the humanoid mammary. Join them as they try to find out who is driving the spirit world of the Chicago Metro Area into a chaotic maelstrom! Support the showBlue Sky - https://bsky.app/profile/wordsaboutbooks.bsky.socialDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CThreads - https://www.threads.net/@wordsaboutbookspodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/
