I am still out on maternity leave, this was just a fun chat I had with my friend Laura where we put on our Enneagram sorting hats and talked about which Enneagram type different types would be. I just thought it was something fun to get us through this communal quarantine period. Let me know what you think, which Enneagram you are, did you agree with our choices? 

First of all, would like to apologize for the state of my voice in this episode. It's still not fully recovered. I had a great chat with Shaun from Eclectic Cove about what we enjoy in gothic horror and some recommendations! This is the last episode before my maternity leave, so see you guys soon. You know where to keep in touch with me!

This week I am joined by Lisa and Mackenzie from the Ladies of the Fright podcast again! We are talking about Romance in Horror because it's valentine's day and who doesn't think that spooky and sexy can totally go together sometimes, right? We get into how possession and haunted house tropes highlight relationships in stories and our favorite couplings.
