this thing between us by Gus Moreno | when love turns haunted
Send us a textIn this episode of The Book Fix, we review Gus Moreno’s This Thing Between Us, a horror novel that weaves supernatural dread with raw grief. After Thiago and his wife Vera purchase the Itza smart speaker, strange occurrences escalate—cold spots, eerie music, and unsettling late-night whispers. When Vera suddenly dies, Thiago is left shattered, navigating unwanted sympathy, public exploitation of her death, and the unnerving sense that the Itza isn’t done with him. Seeking escape, he retreats to a remote cabin in Colorado, only to discover that grief and something far darker have followed. Both terrifying and heartbreaking, the novel explores how love, loss, rage, and technology intertwine in ways that feel inescapable.

mapping the interior by Stephen Graham Jones | grief opens a door you shouldn’t walk through
Send us a textIn this chilling episode of The Book Fix, we dive into Stephen Graham Jones’ haunting novella Mapping the Interior. Blending horror with sharp commentary on identity, grief, and family, this story takes listeners deep into a house that’s far more than it seems.The book follows a fifteen-year-old boy who one night glimpses a figure moving through his home—someone who looks eerily like his late father, who died mysteriously years earlier. As the boy follows the apparition, he uncovers unsettling truths: the house is larger, stranger, and darker than he ever realized. Determined to chart its shifting rooms and corridors, he begins “mapping the interior,” but his exploration soon entangles his younger brother in terrifying danger. What starts as a desperate attempt to connect with his father becomes a harrowing journey of sacrifice, survival, and the heavy cost of protecting family.

Who’s Holding My Kid’s Hand?👀 r/NoSleep
Send us a textstory: https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/1lpfvt4/theres_an_extra_hand_in_my_kids_photos/On this week's Thursday episode of The Book Fix podcast, we dive into a spooky story! Spooky season rolls on, and we’re dressed as psychics (one of us fully channeling young Walter Mercado lol) to cold-read a r/NoSleep story titled “There’s an Extra Hand in My Kids’ Photos” by Blair Daniels. This stoory is about a family’s cute photo session that turns sinister—mystery hands in the pictures. Between goosebumps and giggles, we swap our own family brujería tales (corn husk toe charm?!), talk sleep paralysis vs. the supernatural, and ask whether pouring energy into fear invites it closer!
