You are a vampire. You own a bookstore. You prey only on bad authors. Literally making the world a better place. A Novel Appetite started as a book, became a game (live on the App Store), and today it drops as a podcast: 8 episodes, ~33 minutes, read by Aspen under protest. Every episode ships with a full transcript — read them all at aspen.mrbray.com/podcast. Free on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Launched on Friday the 13th, because of course it was. 🧛
