With a laundry list of content warnings, cohosts andlongtime horror fans Em and Dani discuss what might be the most graphic book we’ve reviewed so far. Wilder Girls by Rory Power is a vividly written tale about a girl's school that has been isolated as its students and faculty grapple with a toxin infecting everything and everyone.
Listen in as our hosts discuss the undefined yet inherently queer relationship between the three main characters, how YA horror compares to adult horror, and this story’s parallels with Lord of The Flies.
