Summary: The Donner Party was a group of optimistic American pioneers who trusted a charlatan — and paid dearly for it. In the Trump era, their story could not be more relevant. This is why, on our latest episode, Warax and Natasha sit down to talk with Alma Katsu, author of The Hunger, a pulse-pounding reimagining of the Donne Party's fate. Among other things, we discuss how the horror genre is important to our both daily lives and our politics — and why you shouldn't listen to snobs who tell you otherwise. We also discuss and recommend some of our favorite works of horror, so make sure to listen to the very end!
