Andrews had on (mostly) the women of their generation, Paperbacks From Hell, Stephen King, how Carla’s earliest reading habits explain a lot, and how Judy Blume is still, well, perfect.Sources:All of the books discussed will be listed in the Substack, Patreon, and on the website after I catalog them all. Here’s Paperbacks From Hell by Carla’s buddy, Grady Hendrix. https://bookshop.org/a/6560/9781594749810 Grady, if you know which Zebra book (it had to be Zebra) was about the evil child named Lucien, let me know.
