IT'S HALLOWEEN NIGHT... TIME TO DIE, MOTHERFUCKERS! Grampa Fitzpatrick has a fortune to leave behind when he dies - he's just not sure if any of his heirs has what it takes to earn the money. So he does what any loving grandfather would do, he kidnaps his six grandchildren and leaves them in Shit Town - Grampa Fitzpatrick's very own ghetto populated with serial killers and assorted psychos. Now his grandkids and their friends find themselves fighting for their lives. And whoever is not dead by dawn - will be rich! From the same demonic visionaries that brought you UNICORN HOLOCAUST and CANNIBAL SUNDAY SCHOOL, comes their latest technicolor-splatter-a-thon... ESCAPE FROM SHIT TOWN!

We ain‘t nothing but a nation of goddam chickenshit, horseshit, tattletale, pissy-ass, whiny, fat, flabby, out of shape, Facebook-looking damn twerkfest, peaking out the windows, and slipping around, listening in on the cellphones and spying in the peepholes and peeping in the crack of the goddamn door, and listening in the fucking sheet rock.

You know--Mr. Putin, please show some fucking mercy. I mean, come on, drop a fucking bomb, won‘t you?

Tamra Great podcast - so absorbing. 6y

Not this book.
I'm listening to S-Town as my book slump perk-me-up! The first chapter didn't catch my attention but chapter two... BOOM!
Binge listening at work!

kristina_with_a_k I couldn't listen to this podcast fast enough. On par with Serial season 1. 8y

Anyone listening/listened to S-Town? I'm 4 episodes in and mind blown.

Gina Oooooh must try this. I have been listening to This American Life for years. 8y
MeggsKY @Gina it's wild! (But good.) Not like anything I've listened to before - you think you're going one direction...and then it totally flips you on your back. 8y
Gina Awww sweet! Have you listened to The Moth podcast. This one's been around 5+ years worthy of your time ;) 8y

Well-ReadNeck Yes!! I binged it!!! 8y
MeggsKY Oh my gosh @Well-ReadNeck - it's got my stomach in knots!!! 8y
Ms.Story Yes! Listened to if for two days & loved it. Reminded me of my small hometown in Mississippi in good and bad ways 8y
MeggsKY @BrittanysBookshelf - I hear you. I grew up in a teeny little map dot town in Kentucky and I see a LOT of similarities. (Good and bad, just like what you found. 😊) 8y

I'm in awe of this story. Just finished the seven-part series and I cannot recommend it strongly enough. It's a beautiful, heartbreaking, twisty-turny, deeply human dive into a town and a man. Readers will love this exploration of time and humanity and what a life can mean. It is painful, yes, but I found it more bittersweet and moving. Like life really is.

In relation to clocks + time + life, I ❤ this quote: "It's later than you think."

BooksForEmpathy I also know it's not about books, but I had to share it. And there are many mentions of books in it!! (edited) 8y
HardcoverHearts I binged on this in one single day! I do have a soft spot for a Southern gothic tale. 8y
Tamra It listens like an enthralling movie. 8y

mauveandrosysky I love John B. so much. 8y
BooksForEmpathy @mauveandrosysky Hi! Yes. Same. It's amazing who people turn out to be when you stick around. @HardcoverHearts I binged today! Totally not what I expected. And so much better. @tamra YES! I was beyond satisfied. @awonderinglife Enjoy!!! 8y
Ms.Story Thanks to your post, I've totally binged on this podcast! I still have the final chapter left, but I've really enjoyed it so far and kinda feel at home listening to the recorded conversations as I'm originally from a small town in Mississippi. 8y

Taking a break from my #audiobook to binge Serial and This American Life's new podcast! Just dropped this morning. (Had to tag the above book because it was the only title that connected...doesn't look like my kind of book 😆)

Kris10 @raelaschoenherr I just finished The Kitchens of the Great Midwest and it was great! Thanks!! 8y
raelaschoenherr @Kris10 Oh yay!! So glad you had a chance to read it and you liked it. Doesn't it make you hungry though?! 😉 8y

I know this has nothing to do with the tagged book, but the title fits the podcast. Is anyone listening to S-Town?! I haven't been able to stop since it dropped this morning.
