It’s October.. you know what that means? Another month filled with spooktacular Halloween reads! And who could have a month of horror without Uncle Stevie? Not this guy, that’s for sure. So I’ve dug into the past and selected one of Sai King’s early books, Cujo. Yes, a book that was written by an author…
Alice is dead. Or is she? From the creator of the wildly popular podcast, Welcome to Night Vale, comes a story about a young woman roaming the highways of America as a truck driver looking for her wife whom she believes to still be alive.
