In this episode of Bad Ass Bookclub Podcast, we’re off to a hauntingly good start to Spooky Season! This week the ladies tackle their double shared reads: The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones and How to Sell a Haunted House by Grady Hendrix.
First up is the historical fiction horror pick, The Buffalo Hunter Hunter. The ladies are enjoying the gruesome, genre-crossing ride that intertwines vampire lore with the U.S. western expansionist era. While discussing themes and characters present in chapters 1-9, Katie and Ashley highlight the way Jones layers timelines and perspectives, and the captivating use of Native American terminology to deepen the novel’s cultural roots. With two-thirds of the story still to go, many questions remain, like: Where’s Cat Man?
Then it’s on to Hendrix’s How to Sell a Haunted House, where playthings and family drama collide. Covering chapters 1–20, the ladies dive into the Joyner family’s grief, the hilariously horrifying antics of Pupkin the puppet, and swap their favorite WTF worthy Grady moments. To top it off, they play a quick round of Stage Fright, a hilarious game featuring the five stages of grief. You read that right.
Whether you prefer historical horror with bite or a campy haunt, this episode delivers both chills and chuckles. Cozy up, press play, and join the hunt!
