The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires

By: Grady Hendrix
Narrated by: Bahni Turpin
Length: 13 hours 48 minutes

“I don’t know about everyone else, but I, for one, am really excited that vampires are making a comeback. I think they’re such a fun trope in pretty much every genre, and this was no exception. True to the Grady Hendrix style, this book was the perfect campy, slightly off-kilter, and moderately gory suburban horror story I didn’t know I needed. Read more

Mexican Gothic

By: Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Narrated by: Frankie Corzo
Length: 10 hours 39 minutes

“Although Mexican Gothic begins in an unassuming Gothic way, with a psychotic cousin and a haunted house, the book slowly turns until you are completely snatched from reality and cannot put the book down.

Narrated by: Wesley French, Lawrence Bayne, Susan Roman, Jani Lauzon, Cara Gee, Mirphie Kinanga & Drew Hayden Taylor
Length: 10 hours 31 minutes

“Winter holds its own horrors for me (I am not a fan of cold weather), so in my opinion, it's the perfect season for reading horror, especially winter/cold-oriented stories. As the title may hint, this is indeed one of those. I was intrigued by the description of the book as both horror and comedy, a pairing that I don't always enjoy, but... Read more
