Grady Hendrix is one of the biggest names in horror fiction today. He's published 11 horror novels and won a Bram Stoker Award for his non-fiction book on the history of horror fiction. In this episode, we revisit a 2021 conversation between Hendrix and former NPR host Audie Cornish about his book Final Girl Support Group with a discussion on society's obsession with violence and its perpetrators, rather than the victims. Then, we hear Hendrix speak with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about his latest novel, Witchcraft for Wayward Girls, and some of the real life horrors faced by women in history.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Music is undeniably a huge part of what makes video games special, both individually and on an industry-wide level. Not only is no gaming award show complete without a gong for the year's best soundtrack, but even the Proms have started acknowledging that video game scores have come a long way since the 8-bit days (without throwing any shade on chiptune, a legitimate genre in and of itself with some stone-cold classics). That's probably why, from huge AAAs to smaller indies, music can account for a significant chunk of any game's budget — and it's definitely worth the investment. For this episode, the Indieventure trio have pooled our vinyl collection to talk about some of our personal favourite indie game music highlights. I know you guys say you love long show notes but there's seriously no way I'm going to be able to list every track we talk about here — which is why we've put together [a YouTube playlist] that should cover everything instead! A quick overview, though, sees us talking about the music from games including Balatro, Bombrush Cyberfunk, Braid, Celeste, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Dear Esther, Death's Door, Dicey Dungeons, Disco Elysium, Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, Fields of Mistria, Firewatch, Hades, Hades II, Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Hollow Knight, Hotline Miami, Hypnospace Outlaw, Journey, Kentucky Route Zero, Monster Prom 2: Monster Camp, Minecraft, No Straight Roads, Paradise Killer, Pizza Tower, Pyre, Return of the Obra Dinn, Stardew Valley, A Tower Full of Cats, Trombone Champ, Undertale, Unravel, and We Happy Few. If you'd like to hear every track we discuss in this episode in its entirety, we've added them all to a convenient YouTube playlist that you can find here. During the course of this chat we also promise you a couple of specific links, so go here for Bombrush Cyberfunk soundtrack memes, and here for one of the Ace Attorney x Danganronpa musical mashup channels on YouTube that Rebecca (and now Rachel too) is so very fond of. Finally, as ever, are our current hyperfixations! Rebecca has discovered an accidentally awesome double-bill of horror novels with a timely social message in Chuck Tingle's Bury Your Gays and Grady Hendrix's The Final Girl Support Group; Liam's been having a whimsical time in recently-released indie platformer The Plucky Squire; and Rachel is having a moment with girly pop in general, and Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter in particular, thanks to the recent VMAs award show. Our music, meanwhile, was written and performed by Ollie Newbury! Find him on Instagram at @newbsmusic. Meanwhile, you can find us at indieventurepodcast.co.uk or wherever you listen to podcasts.

From Dukes to Daddies: A Steamy April Wrap-Up with My Sister's TBRWelcome back, bookworms, to another episode recap from My Sister's TBR! This month, we ventured beyond our comfort zones and dove headfirst into some sci-fi and (our usual) seriously steamy reads. Buckle up because we're about to spill all the tea on the age gaps, aliens, and swoon-worthy moments that filled our April TBRs.Stacey Takes a Sci-Fi Detour:First up, we have resident romantasy lover Stacey surprisingly diving into the world of sci-fi. "All Systems Red" by Martha Wells, a novella about a grumpy murderbot with a heart of gold, piqued her interest. Let's just say, robots with existential angst aren't what we expected from Stacey, but it sounds like a fun and unexpected read!Balancing Spice with Sweetness:Next, Stacey took a sharp turn into the world of graphic novels with "Crave" by Marie Llovet. This one promises a blend of dark academia and forbidden desire – not exactly light bedtime reading! Balancing the heat, Stacey also dove into some swoon-worthy romances, "Not Another Love Song" by Julie Soto , "The Things We Leave Unfinished" by Rebecca Yarros, and “The Stand-in” by Lily Chu”. She also tackled the horror book club book “The Final Girl Support Group” by Grady Hendrix Sounds like a month full of emotional rollercoasters for Stacey!Rebecca Sticks to the Familiar:Meanwhile, your girl Rebecca stayed firmly rooted in the world of romance. "Girl Abroad" by Elle Kennedy, a classic enemies-to-lovers trope, delivered the witty banter and steamy encounters she craves. Then, there was "Older" by Jennifer Hartmann, which tackled the age-gap romance trope. We'll delve deeper into this one in a bit, but let's just say it delivered on the emotional connection and earned its positive reviews. And lets not forget the taboo “Your Dad Will Do” by Katee Robert! This one had us seriously questioning our morals.The Duke Takes Center Stage:Now, the moment you've all been waiting for – our Featured Read of the Month, "The Duke and I" by Julia Quinn! This Bridgerton phenomenon had us swooning, giggling, and maybe even a little frustrated (looking at you, Daphne!). We dissect the comparisons to the Netflix show, what worked for us, and what fell a little flat.Spoiler Alert: We loved the banter between Daphne and Simon (seriously, some top-notch dialogue!), and the slow-burn romance had us cheering for their happily ever after. However, some plot points felt a bit rushed, and certain aspects haven't aged as gracefully as we'd hoped. Overall, it's a fun read that perfectly captures the essence of a Regency romance, but don't expect a flawless masterpiece.Looking Ahead: Dear John by Nicholas Sparks:Prepare the tissues, folks! Our next Featured Read will be the ever-popular "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks. We're ready to dissect the emotional rollercoaster, epic love story, and inevitable heartbreak Nicholas Sparks is famous for. So, grab your copy, settle in with a box of tissues, and get ready for a deep dive into this classic tearjerker.Join the Conversation!As always, we want to hear from you! What books did you devour in April? Did you love or loathe "The Duke and I"? And are you excited to get swept away by "Dear John"? Let us know in the comments below, and be sure to follow us for more bookish adventures! Find us on Instagram, @mysisterstbr Happy Reading!Rebecca & StaceyMy Sister's TBRP.S.

Yes, THAT Grady Hendrix. New York Times Bestselling Horror Author Grady Hendrix. Writer of Horrorstor, My Best Friend's Exorcism, Paperbacks from Hell, We Sold Our Souls, Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, Final Girl Support Group, and most recently How to Sell a Haunted House Grady Hendrix!We sit down with Grady (over Google Meet) to discuss his books, all of which make us shrivel in fear, laugh, and cry (only because we finish them). Of course, his latest book, How to Sell a Haunted House, was a big topic of conversation, but we promise, no spoilers. But perhaps most importantly, we changed up our standard beer paradigm, this time eschewing local/high-quality/craft beers for some American college classics. Classics like Bud Light, Rolling Rock, Coors, PBR, and Heineken. Why? Because we can. That's why. Well actually, it was because Grady has a nostalgic soft spot for those beers and we thought it would be fun to drink them out of little beer tasters. Something that no one in the history of beer culture has probably ever done. So there's that.So sit back, relax, and enjoy the podcast with one of the best horror and horror/comedy writers of our day. I know we sure as hell did!Support the show

The Writer Files: Writing, Productivity, Creativity, and Neuroscience
Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author and screenwriter, Grady Hendrix, spoke with me about getting serious about horror, turning genre tropes on their head, and his latest “How to Sell a Haunted House.” Grady Hendrix is an award-winning novelist, screenwriter, and journalist best known for My Best Friend's Exorcism (adapted into a feature film by Amazon Studios), and the New York Times bestsellers The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, and The Final Girl Support Group. His latest is How to Sell a Haunted House, an #1 Indie Next List pick, described as a “...novel that explores the way your past—and your family—can haunt you like nothing else.” The New York Times called it a “…gripping, wildly entertaining exploration of childhood horrors,” and Esquire called it “... an authentically frightening, genuinely funny reconfiguration of what a haunted house can be.” New York Times bestselling author Chuck Wendig said of the book, “A spirited nightmare story about death, but also, what comes after: grief, guilt, family secrets, and estate administration. Oh, also, did I mention the evil puppets?” Grady Hendrix's work is currently in multiple phases of adaptation at HBO and others, for both feature film and streaming.

PopaHALLics #88 "The Game is Afoot!"It's elementary, my dear listener. Steve and Kate have fun discussing "Enola Holmes 2," about Sherlock's younger sister on the trail of a missing match girl. We also talk murder—both real (at Harvard, no less) and fictional (a coworker coverup in Japan)—and explore the curious case of a schlocky zombie movie that isn't what it seems. This mystery is worthy of Baker Street! Streaming:"Enola Holmes 2," Netflix. Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven on "Stranger Things") returns as an aspiring detective hoping to break out of the shadow of her famous brother. She talks directly to the camera as she gets into one hair-raising scrape after another. Big fun. With Helena Bonham Carter and Henry Cavill. "One Cut of the Dead," Shudder and rental. This clever, hilarious Japanese zombie comedy written and directed by Shin'ichirō Ueda features a play within a play. We first see what appears to be a short, cheap zombie movie shot in one continuous take about a filmmaking crew attacked by real zombies. But then the camera pulls back to show us what's going on behind the scenes of the movie about the movie. In Japanese with English subtitles."The School for Good and Evil," Netflix. In a movie based on a bestselling book series, best friends Sophie and Agatha find themselves on opposing sides when they join an enchanted school for aspiring heroes and villains.Books:"Out," by Natsuo Kirino. This 1997 Japanese crime novel won Best Novel from the Mystery Writers of Japan. When a female factory worker murders her husband, her three coworkers try to help her get away with it. That sets off a deadly cat and mouse game with the police and a local gangster, as well as simmering tensions within the group."We Keep the Dead Close: a Murder at Harvard and a Half Century of Silence," by Becky Cooper. In this critically acclaimed true crime narrative, a reporter sets out to find out the truth about the 1969 bludgeoning death of 23-year-old graduate student Jane Britton. The rumors were that she had an affair with her professor, who murdered her when she threatened to go public ..."I'm Glad My Mom Died," by Jennette McCurdy. in this fast read of a memoir, the former "iCarly" actress explores her complicated relationship with her show business-oriented mother."The Final Girl Support Group," by Grady Hendrix. This sly horror novel asks the question: In slasher movies, the final girls are the ones left standing when the credits roll. They made it through the worst night of their lives…but what happens after?Two Heartland Movies Coming to Theaters:Previous episodes talked about two new movies at the Heartland Film Festival in Indianapolis: "The Whale," with Brendan Fraser's comeback as a 600-lb. college professor seeking to reconcile with his daughter (Sadie Sink), and "Corsage," a lush reimagining of one year in the life of the tragic Austrian Empress Elisabeth (Vicky Kreps). The New York Times, says "The Whale" will debut in theaters on Dec. 9 and "Corsage" on Dec. 23. Click through the links above to watch, read, and listen to what we're talking about.

Grady Hendrix loves horror movies, especially those old 80s slashers. And his new book is a tribute to that "final girl" at the end of so many of them: The one who doesn't necessarily survive by being smarter or stronger, but simply makes it to the end alive by not giving up. NPR's Audie Cornish interviewed him about his novel Final Girl Support Group, which is about exactly what it sounds like, a support group for women who survived psycho murderers — except it seems like someone's starting to hunt them down – again. As Hendrix says, what's the scariest thing for a "Final Girl?" A sequel.

For this episode we read both the 1908 novel “A Room with a View,” by E.M. Forster, and Kevin Kwan's 2020 novel “Sex and Vanity.” As foundational texts go, "A Room with a View" is an Edwardian era novel – there are trains, and horses and carriages – setting it later than our recent foundational texts. Reminder: this is a spoiler-filled podcast. So if you're not into that kind of thing, read the book first and come back later. Episode Links “Sex and Vanity” by Kevin Kwan “Room with a View” by E.M. Forester Vague reference made to the steampunk WWI YA novel "Leviathan" by Scott Westerfeld Reading Jennie – “The Eighth Life (for Brilka)” by Nino Haratischvili Pete – “Tinderbox: HBO's Ruthless Pursuit of New Frontiers” by James Miller and “Final Girl Support Group” by Grady Hendrix Tell us what YOU think about this book, or anything else you're reading, in our GoodReads or Facebook groups, or talk to us on twitter using the #BigBookPodcast hashtag.

Dex and Harrison are still having trouble bonding and Kurt is now a confirmed creep. Harrison has his own (murderous?) vigilante tendencies. And a new podcaster is in town (podcasters are the real enemy, afterall). Plus, I recommend Grady Hendrix's novel, The Final Girl Support Group (even though I solved the mystery early on). It's an interesting exploration of why we keep fixating on these stories of serial killers. Hey, why am I watching Dexter, anyway? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/needs/message
In this episode I'll be discussing Grady Hendrix's latest novel, The Final Girl Support Group, which is a heartfelt love letter to slasher films and the final girls we root for. While the book itself is nothing but an Easter egg laden tome for the biggest of slasher fans and expertly entertaining the reader, it also tackles the latter part of the infamous tagline from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which is what's left of the final girls once the killer is (allegedly) stopped and the credits roll. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
In honor of Young Reader's Day November 9, we read Amal Unbound by Aisha Saeed. This book came out in 2018 and is a juvenile fiction novel following Amal, a young girl in a small village in Pakistan who has her whole life in front of her until she ends up as an indentured servant with no foreseeable way out. It's a truly impactful story of perseverance and heart, and is important for young readers to read and possibly learn about other cultures outside of their own. We dive into Amal's story and talk about all the twists and turns and our own takeaways from her situation, so we will be talking about spoilers later in the episode. In this episode we reference TikTok creator Rhylee Passfield with a handle of @rhyleep95. She's one of the funniest people on the app, and info about her can be found in this article: https://www.abc.net.au/triplej/the-latest/meet-the-mind-behind-the-cursed-cosplay-mr-burns-rhyleep/13607108 Books we mention: The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling, This Will Be Funny Someday by Katie Henry, Under the Whispering Door by TJ Klune, Seven Days in June by Tia Williams, The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix, Yearbook by Seth Rogen, Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert, Amal Unbound by Aisha Saeed.

Shanika is joined by Brindolyn of That's Lit Podcast to discuss The Final Girl Support by Grady Hendrix. Final Girl : the female protagonist who remains alive at the end of the film, after the other characters have been killed, when she is usually placed in a position to confront the killer. (Source) What happens once the news media goes away, the movies have been made, the books are written, and now you are left to deal with the aftermath of a traumatic event? In The Final Girl Support Group, Grady Hendrix explores the side of these survivors that aren't seen by the public. Brindolyn and Shanika discuss what they like about the book, analyze how each final girl chooses their own coping mechanism, why having an unstable narrator worked, and how the death of a certain character may seem tone-death.

You're doomed! You're all doomed! This week, Peaches and Michael take a trip to camp as they celebrate the ongoing legacy of the 1980 horror classic FRIDAY THE 13th and its many beloved sequels. In addition to discussing the film's undeniable impact on pop culture, our hosts delve into our obsession with final girls, the grand guignol of Betsy Palmer, and why there's value in slasher movies. Joining the conversation is genre legend and the star of the original FRIDAY THE 13th herself, Adrienne King, who shares her insight on four decades of fandom and a powerful, personal story about finding light in the darkness. Then, Grady Hendrix, bestselling author of THE FINAL GIRL SUPPORT GROUP, stops by to discuss how his work was undeniably influenced by the F13 franchise and why final girls are, in many ways, part of our modern mythology. Grab your camp counselor badges, hop in the canoe, and let's GO!
