The Intercepts is an excellent beach read if you’re deeply unwell. It’s also the Pagenerds very first horror sci-fi, so thanks T.J. Payne. The novel drops us into a secret government facility where people are kept underground and understimulated for some… experimentation. We uncover what in the MKUltra is going on through the eyes of a program manager and his teenage daughter. There’s a beige, middle-management, banality-of-evil vibe— and then it gets properly haunted-house scary.Huge shoutout to Jay, our producer, who is famously squeamish and still edited this episode.If you like your sci-fi with some gore, this book is for you. If you don’t, let us spoil it for you.We love you, ‘nerds. Thanks so much for listening!
