Episode Four: Gimmicks / "Horrorstör"

In This Episode:
The guys discuss which authors they'll give a second chance to (and who they won't) before getting into books that have gimmicks to them, like Grady Hendrix's Horrorstör.

Other highlights:
* buying booze for the packages
* 'tis the season...
* plugs for Melville House, Kraken Dark Rum, and some other stuff
* IKEA. It's pretty creepy.
* #getjackhisbed
