Souls are being sold all over the place in this #othersode as the squad discusses ‘Jennifer’s Body’ (2009) and Emily interviews Grady Hendrix, author of the forthcoming book ‘We Sold Our Souls.’ In the 2009 horror-comedy ‘Jennifer’s Body,’ the squad (with special guest Mary Kay!) talk about feminism, horror movie tropes, whether Megan Fox can act, and the dangers of demonic possession. Next Emily and Grady talk about his newest book, as well as his other work (which all feature female characters!). Grady talks about his hands-on research processes, why the horror genre makes him happy, why vampires are kind of lame (but yes, he is currently writing a vampire novel), and, of course, Stephen King. Plus, get a rundown of what’s currently on the #BookSquadBlog and what’s up next on the podcast. For our next #fullpisode, get out your magnifying glass and trench coat because it’s mystery time! Read along with us for Tana French’s ‘The Trespasser.’ See ya on the social meedz - @booksquadgoals. Until next time, keep an eye on your soul!
