    This episode starts on a very personal note, so I apologize for that. But we talk about Andy Weir's debut novel, The Martian, which is an undeniable hit, and I'm kind of upset I'm just now getting around to finishing it.

    Joined by my husband, Josh, of JB Publishing, we discuss Fritz Leiber's Gather, Darkness. Heavily influenced by H.P. Lovecraft and Carl Jung, Leiber has created a fascinating dystopian world full of amazing technology and terrifying creatures. Josh dives deep into this book and takes me along for the ride. I interrupt him with tales of woe regarding sleep paralysis, and we break several times because we crack each other up. This was a fun one to record.
