A Vintage Horror Book Club Podcast
The Darkness Loves Us podcast is an absolute delight for book and horror enthusiasts alike. Hosted by two witty and knowledgeable ladies, their chemistry is palpable and it's evident that they have been friends for years. Despite the strong bond between them, they never make listeners feel like outsiders to their inside jokes, although there may be moments where you find yourself explaining why you're chuckling to others.
One of the best aspects of The Darkness Loves Us podcast is the amount of research that these ladies put into each episode. Whether it's discussing books or authors, they provide insightful commentary and analysis that shows their dedication to providing quality content. Even if you haven't read the books themselves, their discussions are engaging and entertaining enough to keep you hooked throughout.
Additionally, this podcast extends beyond just books and delves into the world of horror movies and TV as well. The hosts' coverage of the new Unsolved Mysteries series is particularly noteworthy, providing listeners with intriguing insights and perspectives on the show. This variety in content keeps the podcast fresh and ensures there's something for everyone to enjoy.
However, it must be noted that there is one minor flaw in this otherwise fantastic podcast. In one episode, the hosts mispronounce Gillian Flynn's name, pronouncing it as "Gillian" instead of "Jillian". While this may not be a major issue for most listeners, those familiar with Gillian Flynn's work might find it slightly jarring. Nevertheless, this small slip-up does not detract from the overall enjoyment of The Darkness Loves Us podcast.
In conclusion, The Darkness Loves Us is a must-listen for fans of books and horror alike. The hosts bring a refreshing energy to each episode with their great chemistry and well-researched discussions. It's a fun listen even if you haven't read the books being discussed, as their insights make you feel like you've actually experienced them firsthand. So whether you're looking for a way to pass the time on long dark nights or simply want to enhance your grocery shopping experience at Publix, these ladies will surely have you laughing and entertained.
