On this third edition of the Horror From the High Desert "Book Club," author Rachel Eve Moulton ("Tinfoil Butterfly," "The Insatiable Volt Sisters") joins Scotty to discuss Katherine Dunn's 1989 classic "Geek Love." They talk about the novel's strangeness, its unexpected horror elements, its unique take on beauty vs. "freakishness," its unflinching look at familial and generational trauma, and more.
