But first, we share our LISTENER TOP TEN reads of 2024. There were several ties, so we had a top fourteen list. The first three books were not tied, and each received a substantial number of votes to place them in the TOP TEN. Chris and Emily both enjoy ushering in the new year with nonfiction. Our “Just Read” segment includes several self-help/self-improvement titles. The fiction we've read ranges from literary fiction, thrillers, horror, and a classic.

Send us a textWhat happens when a family is haunted by both supernatural forces and their own unresolved emotions? That's what we explore in our latest conversation about "The Haunting of Hill House," featuring our special guest Maddy. Join us as we unpack the psychological and supernatural layers within the first five episodes, focusing on the character dynamics that make the series both chilling and deeply emotional.

Characters like Luke and Nellie face profound psychological consequences, highlighting the importance of belief and communication within families. We question the parents' perspectives and explore the unsettling phenomena of sleep paralysis and its connections to the characters' traumas. Through personal anecdotes and a touch of humor, we underscore the necessity of listening to and supporting children when they express their fears, all while maintaining an engaging and thought-provoking atmosphere.Prepare for an eerie journey into personal supernatural experiences, from inexplicable childhood hauntings to the bizarre intersection of grief and the paranormal. We share ghost stories and discuss the thin line between reality and the mystical, culminating in a thrilling exploration of the uncanny events that blur the boundaries of the mundane.

It's Spooky Season Libration Nation! In this spine-tingling episode, I'm joined by Grace Todd, fellow Richmond podcast host of the "Didn't Read It" podcast, to delve into Shirley Jackson's chilling classic, The Haunting of Hill House. Over Dark Manhattans, we uncover the eerie atmosphere of Hill House, its unsettling characters, and ghostly legacies. Grace shares her deep connection to the novel, analyzing themes of female empowerment, queer undertones, and the metaphorical menace of family structures. We also touch on Jackson's other works and Grace's latest horror series on her podcast. Perfect for horror enthusiasts and fans of eerie literature, this episode offers a blend of humor and spooky insights. Cheers to a frightfully good time!Grace is an intermittent editor, book gremlin, and aspiring failed novelist. While her MFA in creative writing primarily served to exacerbate both her single-minded obsession with fiction and her dubious mental health, it did give her an excuse to lose herself in books when she should have been doing her day job, for which she is thankful. The book piles in her house are becoming more perilous and less structurally sound by the day.We recorded this episode in Grace's studio at the Black Iris Social Club, which was so cool, and features a bar where Brett, their charming barkeep, poured us Dark Manhattans, which are delicious with the spice of danger!Dark Manhattan Recipe2 oz Cynar1 oz rye whiskey1 oz Amaro (Brett made ours with Amaro y Arroyo from the Virginia distillery Copper Fox)Dash of orange bittersGarnish - Luxardo Dark CherriesServe on ice or stir and shake into a chilled glass - enjoy!In this EpisodeThe Haunting of Hill House TV ShowThe Haunting (1960s Jackson-sanctioned film version)We Have Always Lived in the Castle FilmBooks by Shirley JacksonThe Shirley Jackson AwardsThoughts on Shirley Jackson and QueernessShirley Jackson's NYT Obituary (not mentioned in the episode but very interesting nonetheless)Shirley (Elizabeth Moss film)Didn't Read It episode on Shirley Film

Follow the homies Cam (Cameron Cox) and Dylan (Dylan Hernandez) two former AMC Theater employees as they take a nostalgic trip back in time to rewatch films that mean the most to them! Today we do things a little different and discuss a show! The 2018 Netflix smash hit "The Haunting of Hill House" With Special Guest ANDREW GARCIA!! The Haunting of Hill House is an American supernatural horror drama television miniseries created and directed by Mike Flanagan, produced by Amblin Television and Paramount Television for Netflix, and serves as the first entry in The Haunting anthology series. It is loosely based on the 1959 novel of the same name by Shirley Jackson. The plot alternates between two timelines, following five adult siblings whose paranormal experiences at Hill House continue to haunt them in the present day, and flashbacks depicting events leading up to the eventful night in 1992 when the family fled from the mansion. The ensemble cast features Michiel Huisman, Elizabeth Reaser, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Kate Siegel, and Victoria Pedretti as the siblings in adulthood, with Carla Gugino and Henry Thomas as parents Olivia and Hugh Crain, and Timothy Hutton appearing as an older version of Hugh.

Send us a Text Message.Hello there! It's been a while since our last Book Club Minisode. We missed you! Today we read Shirley Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House. Jackson's 1959 novel has twice been made into a movie, once in 1963 and once in 1999. The '63 version is relatively faithful to the original novel: the '99 version, not so much. The book was also parodied in part of Scary Movie 2. There's even a BBC radio adaptation and a play. Most recently, a version of the same title can be found on Netflix, though it strays far from the occurrences of the book.
