Episode 31 - Hallows Grove

Summary

It's week two of Spooky Smuttober here at Smutco Industries, and this week we're celebrating with Hallows Grove by Lee Jacquot! Tune in to find out if this week's MMC can redeem himself in Carl's eyes after he (allegedly) sullies an entire batch of Clearly Canadians with his evil expectorations. CONTENT WARNING: bullying, practical jokes, jump scares, fear play, and a dash of (almost) exhibitionism. Book Description My best friend’s brother is the most infuriating person to walk this planet.Since the day I met him, he’s made it his mission in life to make mine hell. If he’s not hiding behind the nearest dark corner, he's plotting his next trick.That’s Dorian Davis, and nothing about him has changed in the two decades that I’ve known him.I should be used to it by now. Immune to his antics. I even considered myself prepared when his sister coerced us into helping her host a Halloween party for her company.I wasn’t.Turns out, Dorian didn’t want to scare me. He wanted to hear me scream.To hear me beg.He wanted to show me that everything I thought I knew was wrong, and that everything I thought I wanted wasn’t enough.Maybe if I weren’t wearing a maid outfit, playing a real-life murder mystery game, and running through a hedge maze for my life, I’d appreciate the sentiment. But I’m currently doing all of those things, and if he catches me, I don’t think I’ll survive.Because as he said... this isn’t a game anymore. So...What Are You Into?
