S12 | E2: Faith or Science? | Head Full of Ghosts | p.58-115
Marjorie is getting worse, and it’s becoming increasingly unclear whether her condition can be treated with modern medicine or religious intervention. We’re talking more than uncanny or erratic behavior — Marjorie threatens to rip out her eight-year-old sister’s tongue, vomit oozes from her mouth at the dinner table, and she does something truly unnatural in her parents’ bed.
Is this a demonic possession, a mental health crisis, or something in between? And is signing up for a reality TV show really the right move for a family that’s been struggling financially?
We discuss faith vs. medicine, whether Merry is a reliable narrator, and if any of us actually believe in possession, God, and the afterlife.

S12 | E1: Make the voices stop | Head Full of Ghosts | p.1-58
Eight-year-old Merry’s sister Marjorie is changing in ways nobody can explain. The stories the sisters used to write together are getting dark. Marjorie is sneaking into Merry’s room while she sleeps — and doing some interesting things. Fifteen years later, Merry is back in that house telling the story of her sister’s alleged demonic possession to a journalist. Can we trust her retelling of the story?
Bram Stoker Award winner, Stephen King approved, and a movie adaptation in the works — A Head Full of Ghosts by Paul Tremblay is not one to sleep on. We discuss the fine line between mental illness and possession, religion, and our current beliefs regarding demons and the afterlife.

S11 | E6: Bodies found | God of the Woods | p.388-END
Bear has been found. Barbara has been found. And the truth about what happened fourteen years ago on the Van Laar Preserve is finally out — and let's just say we have a lot of feelings about the end of this book.
Join us for the final chapter summary of Liz Moore's God of the Woods. We share final ratings, dive into reviews from others, play book trivia, and unpack the ending that left us with more questions than answers. Was this book too long? Did our characters grow? Did we need that many timelines and characters?
