Becky Spratford, librarian, critic, and all-around horror lit icon, joins the show this week! We talk about her new book Why I Love Horror, editing a wide array of bestselling genre authors, and more, and then we dive into a discussion of Shel Silverstein's Where The Sidewalk Ends! Is it horror? Maybe. Does it serve as a springboard for young horror fans? Absolutely!
