NPR's Book of the Day - Grady Hendrix reimagines the horror movie sequel in ‘Final Girl Support Group’

Grady Hendrix LOVES horror movies, especially those old 80's slashers. And his new book is a tribute to that "final girl" at the end of so many of them. The one who doesn't necessarily survive by being smarter or stronger, but simply makes it to the end alive by not giving up. NPR's Audie Cornish interviewed him about his novel Final Girl Support Group, which is about exactly what it sounds like, a support group for women who survived psycho murderers — except it seems like someone's starting to hunt them down... again. As Hendrix says, what's the scariest thing for a "Final Girl?" A sequel.

Bammers - Watching the Tide from Afar

We can't all make it back home for an Alabama football game. And it's tough living so far away from all the winning. But it doesn't matter if you're working a job up in New York, serving overseas or whatever is keeping you from hopping in the car or on a plane to come watch the Tide roll in Bryant-Denny. People will manage. Transplant fans in other cities throughout the U.S. go to watch parties, alumni meetups and more to keep an eye on their beloved Crimson Tide when they can't make it home. Plus, an interview with the man behind the Alabama Pro Updates Twitter account.
