We're back from our winter break and this month is Episode 4 - The Fright.  The panel discusses which horror books had them sleeping with the lights on.  Hear about Echopraxia by Peter Watts, House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski, Neuropath by R. Scott Bakker, and Eutopia by David Nickle.

Listen to the full episode:


Echopraxia by Peter Watts

A paranoid, psychological thriller written by a former marine biologist, flesh-eating-disease survivor and convicted felon. The concepts explored in this novel are based upon just enough science to scare the living crap out of you. A must read.

Purchase:

Bakka Phoenix

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

A terrifying story that started out as a badly bundled heap of paper that got passed around, parts of which would occasionally surface on the internet. No one could have imagined the following that this book would one day command. An experience to read and behold, even as it keeps you up at night.

Neuropath by Scott Bakker

It all begins and ends with The Argument: Free will is an illusion. The soul? Merely neurons firing. Someone is determined to prove the truth of The Argument, no matter who has to die.

Eutopia by David Nickle

“A story of piano-wire suspense, grotesque horrors, and, above all, visceral insight into the race politics of American horror, and how they are bound up with the American project itself.” —Cory Doctorow
