Episode 2 - Annette Curtis Klause: Alien Secrets

Get ready for Backlist & Chill: Episode 2—now with ALIEN SECRETS.
 
This second novel by Annette Curtis Klause, ALIEN was published on August 1st 1993 by Delacorte Books for Young Readers. A huge departure from what we are familiar with (sexy vampires, sexy werewolves), this is also the first book by ACK that neither of us had read yet! So how does it hold up to new readers 25 years later? Would we recommend you read it, too? Listen to find out!
 
Featuring Cyna with Captain Morgan Parrot Bay pineapple rum and Ollie with one too many glasses of Absente absinthe (with sugar cubes but without wormwood). Intro theme - "Let It In" by Josh Woodward.
 
Bonus content! Have a gander at Cyna and Ollie's drank set ups via our Twitter thread. Also, WHAT EVEN IS THIS COVER VARIANT? Perhaps the most truth-in-advertising version yet??
 

Next time: FREAKS: ALIVE, ON THE INSIDE. Blood and Chocolate has been delayed due to technical difficulties :(((

 
(1h 11m. Content Warning: Vulgar language and drinking alcohol from hosts; discussions of children in peril, historical genocide, slavery, indentured servitude, murder, fat-shaming, and intense amounts of gaslighting of children from the book.)
