Booklist's Summer Scares Podcast

As a sponsor of Summer Scares, Susan Maguire of Booklist did an entire podcast episode about the program. Please go here for information about this and all episodes. Or see below for quick access to just this episode.

Please note, I have also added this episode to the 2022 Summer Scares Resource guide which includes many links in support of this year's program and titles. And of course, there is an archive of the 2019, 2020, and 2021 program available as well.
