ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Welcome to Read No Evil, your monthly horror book club for the dark and disturbing.
Every month, Shaela Payne and Ian Franco pick one horror book and tear it apart from cover to cover. We dig into the characters, scares, gore, themes, bad decisions, biggest WTF moments, and that all-important ending.
We'll analyze. We'll argue. We'll overthink. And we'll decide whether the book deserves a place on your shelf or should be left in the dark.
Whether you've read the book or you're just along for the ride, pull up a chair and join the conversation.
One book. One episode. One final verdict.
