Everybody Scream: Haunted Books, Ghost Stories and Book Binges

Welcome to the first episode of STACK, a new fortnightly books podcast from Jake, a writer and producer, and Ella, who works in publishing.

Every week, they’ll curate a list of six brilliant books on a theme, cutting through the noise and choice of the book world to recommend the ones that are really worth your time.

This week, they’re chatting haunted houses and ghost sightings, convincing each other to give children’s books a try, read a book after having seen the film, and to give oozing haunted houses a try. 

The books featured in this week’s STACK:

Ninth House - Leigh Bardugo

Aftertaste - Daria Lavelle 

The Screaming Staircase (Lockwood & Co Book 1) - Jonathan Stroud

Strangers - Taichi Yamada

Mexican Gothic -  Silvia Moreno-Garcia

The Lamb - Lucy Rose
