Daphne always loved the way her fiancé Peter told their story. How they met (on a blustery day), fell in love (over an errant hat), and moved back to his lakeside hometown to begin their life together. He really was good at telling it…right up until the moment he realized he was actually in love with his childhood best friend Petra.

There is no bigger public health story now than the collapse in youth mental health. The numbers are terrifying and dominate our headlines. There has been much debate over how we got here, and what to do next, and bestselling author and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt is at the white-hot center of that discourse. Haidt has spent his career speaking wisdom and truth into the most difficult landscapes—communities polarized by politics and religion, campuses battling culture wars, and now the perfect storm contributing to a public health emergency for Gen Z.

Just in time for Halloween!
Full disclosure, I do not profess myself to be a fan of the horror genre in books, film, or otherwise. As such, this gets most of its stars from me for its timeliness for the Halloween season. In addition, the Audible Editors featured in this podcast episode do a good job in pointing out the flavors of horror elements prevalent in suspense thrillers, action adventure novels, and even some classic literature.
As such, I personally got the most out of the discussion on Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", since that it the relevant work I have the most prior experience with. Of course, Stephen King's body of work gets special attention, since he has been so prolific in his career and he remains so well known because so many of his novels have been adapted into film. Other works of horror books mentioned in this podcast include:
"Baby Teeth" by Zoje Stage,
"Frankisstein" by Jeanette Winterson,
R.L. Stine's Goosebumps collection, and
"Interview with a Vampire" by Anne Rice.
I thought this was a nice ~45 minute podcast listen. It was particularly engaging because one of the contributing editors was obviously a horror superfan, and her enthusiasm was adorable to listen to. I recommend to those who are fans of the horror genre, looking for their next spooky/creepy listen, or just those in the mood for a little Halloween spirit.

Fewer recommendations than expected
For 40 plus minutes there was not a lot of actual horror recommendations. After the first 20 or so minutes The Exorcist and Frankenstein were discussed with a blip about Dance Macab by Stephen King which is him talking about horror. While the discussion of women talking about the horror genre, including past experiences and movies, veered off to "I like this" and "me, too" with discussions of why certain things are scary, it was not as described. It's not a list worthy of 40 minutes, especially with a few of the recs being obvious ads for audible only listens without much enthusiasm or description of why they liked the books specifically before more conversation not on the books (Frankenstein being the exception as it was given a lengthy discussion).

It is chit chat about horror stories.
No performance.
No Story.
Did I listen to it all? No, but I skipped forward and played. Maybe I missed something. Then again, maybe this is a lead-in to something great and I will be black-balled from it.
