    007 - The Boogeyman with Jen from Literary Love
    Jul 13 2025
    In this episode of Short Bites, Jason is joined by Jen from the YouTube channel Literary Love 123 to discuss Stephen King’s chilling short story The Boogeyman. Together, they explore what makes this early work so disturbing, how it captures primal fears, and whether the 2023 film adaptation holds up to the original.

    This lively discussion dives into King’s themes of grief, denial, toxic masculinity, and the monstrous things that hide in plain sight. Jason and Jen also share personal reactions, favourite lines, and how The Boogeyman compares to other horror stories about parenthood and trauma.

    In this episode:
    • Literary vs. cinematic horror
    • Unpacking unreliable narration
    • King’s early voice and lasting impact
    • Jen’s favourite King works
