Mad Mabel - Sally Hepworth
2026/10/30
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we dive into Mad Mabel and explore the themes that make this story so much more than a book. We talk about the disappointments women experience at the hands of men, the fierce and beautiful power of female friendship, and the magic of having a community that shows up for you. From the streets of our neighborhoods to the friendships that become family, we reflect on how much we need one another, the importance of belonging, and the ways love can surprise us, heal us and change everything. Because sometimes the greatest love stories aren't romantic at all. They're about the women who stand beside us, the neighbors who become our people, and the communities that remind us we're never truly alone. A conversation about love, loyalty, friendship, community and the extraordinary power of women showing up for women.

Ask For Andrea by Noelle Ihli
2026/03/20
Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Emily and Ashley discuss the book "Ask For Andrea" by Noelle Ihli. They both loved the book, which they think is the author's best work yet. The book follows a group of women who have been murdered by a serial killer, and how they find each other in the afterlife and seek justice for their murders.  They also talk about how the killer relies on charm and normalcy, and why it's dangerous to think we can easily spot dangerous people.  A psychopath is someone who has certain characteristics including lack of empathy, manipulation, and grandiose sense of self-worth. They can be successful and highly functioning, and can be found in various professions. However, not everyone who is selfish is a psychopath, and it is not our place to diagnose others. They noted that the book deals with heavy themes, including assault and trauma, and praised the author for handling them sensitively.  They discuss the different characters in the book, including protagonist Andrea and her relationships with the women from "beyond".   The hosts discuss a book club selection, talk about an author's new release, and chat about psychopaths.  Support the show Subscribe on our patreon for weekly content, early access to episodes, one true crime episode per month and behind the scenes content at https://www.patreon.com/thecreepybookclub Follow us on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/thecreepybookclub and https://www.instagram.com/bookswithyourbesties/ Follow us on TikTok at https://www.tiktok.com/@thecreepybookclub Music is Ur Karma (Instrumental Version) by Craig Reever.
