Portrait of a Nuclear Family (2022), J.P. Behrens | Horror Book Club Review | S01E20

In this episode hosts Samantha and Jeffy unpack the psychological horror novel Portrait of a Nuclear Family. A holiday-set, domestic nightmare about a mother, family tensions, and the scary edges of parental instinct. They discuss the book’s twists, themes of family trauma, and why it lands as effective psychological horror. Between book talk the hosts exchange holiday gifts, joke about gorilla Patreon content, celebrate goth community plans (Goth Prom and New Year’s events), and invite listeners to submit indie horror books and join their community.
