F***bois of Literature Book Podcast

Derik of Ratchet Book Club is here, at my request, to discuss a Middle Grad chapter book for which everyone I know has fond memories. But looking back 27 years later? You really need to think twice before you recommend this to kids. Especially little white boys.

Join me and frequent guest Dani Ryan (@DaniRat) to discuss Shirley Jackson's horror classic, We Have Always Lived In The Castle. The brilliant novel (bordering on novella) is a stunning, gutting social commentary on honesty, desire, and mental illness.

CW: murder, mental illness, crowd violence, disability

My beloved Lauren Emily Whalen is back to discuss one of the greatest YA novels of all time: Jude Blume's FOREVER. Ralph aside, this is groundbreaking novel that continues to uphold some of the greatest tenets of writing for teens: treat them with respect and dignity.

The dynamite Jessie Losch (https://twitter.com/JessieLosch) is here to guide me through one of her favorite childhood books– one I'd never read before and maybe got more magic out of as an adult than I know I would have as a child.

I make a few references to Charlotte's Web, but I decided to hold off on that ep until next week. Rest assured, it is coming in due time!

This week, we sit down with award-winning director Chris McKay to discuss his movie RENFIELD, starring Nicholas Hoult, Nic Cage, and Awkwafina/Nora Lum.

RENFIELD is the story of Dracula's familiar, Robert Montague Renfield, who is finally ready to sever ties to the immortal vampire after nearly a century of being his faithful servant, while simultaneously helping justice-focused traffic cop, Rebecca Quincy, overthrow the organized crime that has taken over her city.
