295 – Chris Panatier & If These Walls Could Talk

Home is where the horror is this week, with Chris Panatier and Worry Box!

 

This latest offering from Panatier’s uniquely strange mind is a complete revision of the haunted house as we know it. It’s a house that means well, but understands little. Couple that with a family in flux and a child suffering intrusive thoughts, and you have a recipe for terrible, no-good disaster.

 

In short, it’s 400 pages of slowly tightening dread!

I hope you enjoy.
