Morbidly Curious Book Club Podcast
The Morbidly Curious Book Club® is an 18+ non-fiction book club diving into the darker macabre parts of your library, with a passion for learning more about what may be too niche for your family gatherings. What started in 2021 as a dream quickly became a reality, and as of mid-2024, we have over 16,000 global members worldwide with localized chapters sprouting up around the world. The podcast started in 2024 as a way to give the members a little bit more by chatting with the authors themselves about their books. There are also bonus episodes where I chat with the books subjects or updates regarding the books topics, and 'archive' episodes where I chat with authors from previous book club picks. Join the book club today at themorbidlycuriousbookclub.com Thank you for being a part of this weird, incredible book club. Enjoy the podcast!

"Not everyone has a strong impulse toward morbid curiosity. Why, then, are some of us powerfully drawn to content that portrays evil, violence, and suffering? Is and interest in the darker side of life a sign of a moral bankruptcy? In my experience, this isn't an accurate asse...

"There is a common, nebulous understanding among Americans that MLM is off and exploitative. But a shrug goes along with it, too, as one does with Scientology, or other factions of this country's colorful fringe. It is one of our many freak sideshows, falling somewhere between a cult, a crime, and a joke. Something to gawk at, pity, or ignore."
