Women are a driving force in the ever growing pet industry. Mary talks to the leaders, influencers, and up and comers and how they shape the landscape of the pet industry.
Join Mary Oquendo, Denise Heroux, and Sacheen Mobley for this scary episode of Book Club For Pet Groomers. The conversation focused on horror books chosen for a Halloween episode, from a free Audible collection of 20 short stories, The Haunted Hotel, to the psychological thriller novella Sour Candy and Edgar Allan Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart. One concept discussed was the power of narration, especially after an AI-voiced audiobook made it impossible to continue listening. The discussion explored the difference between “scary” and “traumatizing”, the appeal of short fiction for busy readers, and Poe’s ability to create intense psychological horror in just a few pages.

Medley Of Dean Koontz Books
Dean Koontz fans make a strong case for starting with his earlier work, where suspense, literary references, supernatural questions, and animals with real purpose collide. The discussion starts with Sacheen Mobley revisits Fear Nothing and Seize the Night, following Christopher Snow through Moonlight Bay, where missing children, corrupt officials, sentient animals, and a possible government experiment keep the truth just out of reach.DeniseHeroux tests whether Koontz still holds up decades after high school by reading the 2024 novel The Bad Weather Friend. She finds a lighter, supernatural story about a relentlessly unlucky man, a nonhuman guardian figure, and a mission to uncover who set his misfortune in motion.The conversation also returns to Watchers, a longtime favorite of Mary Oquendo centered on a remarkable golden retriever named Einstein, a troubled man, and a government-created threat known as the Other. Along the way, the discussion covers audiobook rereads, disappointing film adaptations, Koontz’s use of animals, and why his early books may offer the clearest view of his range as a writer.
