Join Luke & James in this former Patreon-exclusive episode as they revisit their childhood love for RL Stine, get meta with Jack Black, embrace some classic horror story tropes, and learn about the man behind the monsters himself.

Shirley Jackson's most famous work is THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, but is it actually her best or does her final published novel before her death surpass it?

Before Andrei Tarkovsky's "Stalker," Arkady & Boris Strugatsky's novel shocked Soviet censors and created a stir among the intellectuals of their era. In episode 394, author Laura Cranehill (WIFE SHAPED BODIES) joins Luke Elliott & James Bailey to discuss what happens when aliens don't even notice us, the importance of earthworms, a familiar podcast villain taking center stage, and how this novel is somehow just as relevant as ever in the modern era of AI. Laura will return next week to discuss the movie and vote on which is ultimately the best version!
