Speaker 1: Welcome to the w BZ Book Club. I'm Jordan rich Well,
Speaker 1: Halloween is so close. I could do a dozen segments
Speaker 1: on scary books to keep you up at night, from
Speaker 1: Stephen King to Bentley Little to Chris Golden. But here
Speaker 1: are three all star novels that have to be in
Speaker 1: your list. The Haunting of Hillhouse by Shirley Jackson, true
Speaker 1: gothic horror that, like the movie from the early sixties,
Speaker 1: plays with your mind unexplainable noises, cold sensations as you
Speaker 1: settle in to fright. It'll keep you guessing. Another classic,
Speaker 1: Practical Magic by Boston's own Alice Hoffman. This one isn't
Speaker 1: necessarily scary, about two sisters who want to break free
Speaker 1: from their family legacy of witchery. And one more to
Speaker 1: round out the trio, Dark Harvest by Norman Partridge, considered
Speaker 1: a folk horror classic and the perfect novel to cozy
Speaker 1: up with on all hallow Z or any time. Happy
Speaker 1: reading that'll keep you up late. That's the book Club WBZ,
