It’s cold outside, but the squad is still thinking about Midsommar . Author Tatiana Schlote-Bonne journeys to the Hårga with the rest of the squad for a fun, sunny, nine-day midsummer festival. What could possibly go wrong? After we chat about human sacrifice, bears, “good for her” horror movies, and responsible mushroom use, stick around for a spoiler-free talk with Tatiana about her latest horror novel, The Mean Ones . And if you have thoughts about Midsommar and/or creepy cults, don’t forget to write in to thesquad@booksquadgoals.com to let us know! Next on the pod (11/25), Sam Clark from Seattle Book Club joins us to discuss Immaculate Conception by Ling Ling Huang.
