It's October, which means we're getting SPOOKY on Get Lit! This month, we'll be featuring all things scary, frightening, haunted, and in our opinion, fun! We're starting with Sheridan Le Fanu, author of Carmilla (considered to be one of the original vampire stories, and inspiration for Dracula!) and many other haunted tails. Le Fanu's legacy includes forays into short stories, novels, poetry, plays. His ideas and stories have inspired just as many adaptations! Get Lit & Get Scared (but in a fun way) this month!

Send us a text In this week's special episode, we explore the age old adage, "you can't judge a book by its cover." Book covers have evolved over the millennia, as displays of wealth, protective layers, advertisements, and art pieces. We look at the historical functions of the cover and investigate why all book covers seem to look the same in modern times! Join us for this deeply important journey through time and pulp!…
