158 - We Mostly Come Out At Night

Another Book on the Shelf

In Episode 158, we're talking about our official spooky season book pick: We Mostly Come Out at Night. This short story collection, edited by Rob Costello, features queer retellings and re-imaginings of classic monster stories and tropes. It was super fun and we had a great time reading it.
Show Notes
Rob Costello's book, The Dancing Bears: Queer Fables for the End Times, came out earlier this year.
Did anyone else play creepy games at sleepovers like Bloody Mary or that Concentrate one? Here's the full Concentrate text. It's, uh, way creepier than I remembered.
In our next episode we'll be talking about Just Kids by Patti Smith, our current book club and Jette's pick. We're excited to read it, but not excited about the deckled edges.
For non-fiction November and in honour of NaNoWriMo (which neither of us is even going to pretend to attempt this year), we'll be reading Novelist as a Vocation by Haruki Murikami.
