Description:
This week on the MashReads Podcast, we read and discuss Stephanie Perkins' novel 'There's Someone Inside Your House,' a YA slasher novel that's a perfect homage to classic horror movies like 'Scream' and 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' 
 
Then, inspired by the vividly rendered gore of the novel, we chat about favorite visceral books including 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy, 'Clockwork Orange' by Anthony Burgess, 'Room' by Emma Donoghue, 'Wolf in White Van' by John Darnielle and 'The Walking Dead' comics.
 
Then, as always, we close the show with recommendations:
  • Aliza recommends seeing Thor: Ragnarok. "It's not a perfect film. "I thought it was so much fun. It was so funny ... the cast are perfect human beings."
  • Peter recommends the movie The Killing of a Sacred Deer by director Yorgos Lanthimos. "It's a suspenseful thriller sort of horror movie, but only light on the horror. But it is absolutely terrifying."
  • MJ recommends seeing the new A24 movie Lady Bird. "It is so infinitely charming."
Other things mentioned in the show:

Next week on the podcast, we'll be reading and discussing our MashReads book club book for the month — I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika Sánchez! Also, if you're in New York City or in the New York City area, we'll be chatting with Sánchez about the book IRL on Monday, Nov. 13 at 6:30 p.m. ET. RSVP here and join us!
