Teen Creeps

Kelly is joined by guest cohost and fellow Catriona Ward stan Brendan Milove! They talk children being mirrors, generational trauma, freaky dog experiments, and evil evil evil husbands! Content warning: this book depicts child abuse, animal abuse, violence against pregnant women.

This week Kelly and Katai read THE NANCY DREW FILES #111: THE STOLEN KISS, a snooze of a mystery about a stolen painting and blah blah blah. They talk Ned holding Nancy back, George wanting Ned, questionable modeling outfits, and more!

Kelly and guest co-host Omar Najam discuss THE DEAD GIRL by Jo Gibson! Too many men, put it in your peak, twin cousins, author lore, and more!

Kelly is joined by guest cohost Ryan Mogge to talk Francine Pascal's Sweet Valley High #56: LOST AT SEA! Jessica and Winston Egbert are lost at sea! They wash up on a non-desert island and build a house complete with sofa, encounter a bear, and DO NOT reach anything other than platonic respect! Meanwhile, Elizabeth's storyline is... being worried about Jessica.

This week Kelly and Katai read THE NANCY DREW FILES #31: TROUBLE IN TAHITI by Carolyn Keene, a banger of a Nancy Drew from start to finish. They talk stereotyping the French but not the Tahitians, action action action, karate performances, Nan being over the bullshit, Nan having to actively choose to be human, Ned being useless, the best forms of murder (creature and spear gun), and more!

This week Kelly and Katai cover THE WITCH OF BLACKBIRD POND by Elizabeth George Speare! Cute sailor boys, misunderstood pond witches, nuanced New England politics, and more!
