Why people recommend it
Scary Stories to Make You Scared of Scary Stories by Zach Broussard and Nate Fernald is a comedic parody that lampoons classic horror anthologies. On the Behind the Bastards podcast, during the episode Part One: Thomas Thistlewood: Slave Plantation Owner and Diarist in November 2025, guest TT Lee used the outro segment to highlight the publication. Lee told listeners that her friend Zach Broussard had recently released a new book and enthusiastically offered to plug it on the show. Although she momentarily stumbled on the exact title, she described it as a humorous parody inspired by traditional spooky stories, specifically noting that it featured a holiday theme and was structured around frightening tales designed to mock conventional horror tropes. The plug provided a lighthearted moment at the conclusion of a heavy historical discussion, directing audience attention toward her friend's comedic literary project.
