Returning to the pod for the umpteenth time (seriously, I’ve lost count), Chris Panatier joins me to talk about his latest horror novel, Worry Box! This is a novel that hits close to home for me as it explores the realities of intrusive thoughts, characters who do the best they can with the knowledge they have, and so much more. In fact, I think this is a book that will resonate with a lot of folks for the sheer humanity of it all, how we want to provide and nurture even in the face of so much bleakness. I am so very thankful to Chris for his time in exploring so much of this book. It wasn’t an easy conversation to have without spoiling things, but we pulled it off!
