Welcome to the 31st episode of The Bookcast Club, a book podcast for people who love to read and talk books. Today we welcome from the That's What We Read Podcast as co-host. Jenny and Holly discuss they're favourite genre of gothic fiction, sharing what exactly gothic fiction is, what it isn't and a few of their favourites. There's a couple of horror and true crime books thrown in for good measure, perfect reading for Halloween.

Support The Bookcast Club
You can support the podcast on Patreon. Our aim, when we hit $75 a month, is to set up a fund to allow those with less money to buy books. If you are happy to donate for no reward you can do so on our website. A free way to show your support, and a very effective way of spreading the word, is to mention us on social media or review us on iTunes.

Visit our Book Shop
You can buy all the books we mention on the podcast in our Book Shop. Bookshop.org is a great platform if you want easy book shopping without supporting the likes of Amazon. They support independent book shops and we earn a small commission on each sale, which helps with the running costs of this podcast. However, we would always encourage you to make the effort and shop with your local independent book shop. Many have gone to great efforts to develop an online presence and we're sure most, if not all, will take orders over the phone. They can order whatever book you want. You can find a list of independent bookshops to support on our website, many of which do home delivery.
