The Horror Books That Raised Us

This week on Women of Nerd Culture, we’re cracking open those creepy paperbacks from the ‘90s and diving headfirst into the twisted, teen-filled world of Point Horror! From R.L. Stine to Caroline B. Cooney, these books shaped a generation of young horror fans — especially girls — who devoured every chilling twist, masked killer, and supernatural mystery.Join Becca and Sarah as they revisit their favourite titles, unpack the campy brilliance and social anxieties hidden in those pastel covers, and explore how Point Horror still holds a strange grip on our nostalgia-loving hearts.If you ever stayed up too late reading The Cheerleader, The Babysitter, or Trick or Treat, this episode is your slumber party flashback with a spooky twist.Follow Women of Nerd CultureInstagram: / womenofnerdculture TikTok: / women.of.nerd.cul Follow Nerdy Up North:Facebook: / nerdyupnorth Instagram: / nerdyupnorth Twitter: / nerdyupnorth Twitch: / nerdyupnorth Discord: / discord #WomenOfNerdCulture #PointHorror #90sNostalgia #YAThrillers #RLSine #CarolineBCooney #TeenHorror #RetroReads #BookNerds #BookPodcast #WomenInFandom #HorrorBooks #FeministHorror #SpookyReads #PopCulturePodcast #HorrorFiction #NerdCulture #GeekCulture #VintageYA #PaperbackHorror #PodcastEpisode #CreepyClassics #BookChat #GirlsWhoRead
