Summary
This week Kelly and Katai read LETTER SLOT by Owen King, another entry in Amazon's Shivers collection, about a boy who puts his woes in a letter and inadvertently kills people's loved ones. They talk King family dynamics (with apologies to the King family), feminist undertones, unequal labor in the home, how they'd definitely put some names on a list, which is more helpful: art or criticism, and more!
