From WBEZ Chicago, I'm Greta Johnson, and this is the Nerd at Book Club.

It's just like a regular book club, except you can read and listen whenever you want.

This month's pick is Gus Moranos, this thing between us.

It is our first foray into horror.

Yes, it is gory, yes, it is terrifying, but it also does a lot with themes around grief

and identity and belonging, and we are going to dive into it all.

But here is your spoiler warning.

If you have not read this book and you don't want to know what happens, this is not the

episode for you.

Go listen to the author interview that we have in the feed.

If you haven't read the book and you are totally cool with knowing what happens, or if

you have read the book, we are very glad to have you.

I'm also super excited to discuss this book with two excellent nerds.

With us this month, we have Gabino Iglesias, he's a writer, reader, and editor of Book

Reviews for Pink Magazine.

He also reviewed this book for NPR.

Gabino, welcome.

How are you doing?

I'm stoked to be here.

Yay, we're stoked to have you.

We also have the co-owner of an indie bookstore here in Chicago called Exile in Bookville.

Our buddy, Javier Ramirez.
