\n\"Wait<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s spooky season, so we revisited a classic of our childhoods: Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn<\/a>. It was a nice change of pace to read a competently-written book, so we had to spend most of our time raging against the poor parenting on display in this book. Our guest Rebecca Mahoney<\/a> (@cafecliche<\/a>)’s debut novel, The Valley and the Flood<\/a><\/em>, comes out in February 2021, so listen to this episode while pre-ordering your copy! PS: Sorry for some extra sound issues on this episode. It was a ghost probably?<\/p>\n
