In Episode 8, the crew goes way into the mind of madness with The Butcher and the Wren by Alaina Urquhart. This psychological thriller had us digging deep into the chilling mind games of a serial killer who toys with more than just his victims.
The hosts—Natasha, Lex, Star, and Stephanie—unpack what it means to walk through a killer’s thoughts and how unsettling it feels when you start to understand his logic. We get into ethical boundaries, psychological horror, and the seductive pull of control. This isn’t just crime fiction—it’s a full-on mental maze.
To help us navigate the nerves, we sipped on our featured spirit: whiskey, in the form of a hauntingly smooth Sazerac.
Let’s just say... we’ll be double-locking our doors tonight.
Come for the book. Stay for the conversation. 💫
