Season 7 - Ep. 150 Making Reading Less Scary with guest Tyler Miller

In this week’s episode, we chat with Tyler Miller, founder of Reluctant Reader Books, a company that makes books for kids who hate to read. He is also author to several books for young readers in the Nevermore series, including We Bury the Living. In our conversation, Tyler tells us about why he started Reluctant Reader Books and how these books pull in younger readers who don’t normally find books appealing. He also tells us about other authors whose horror-lite novels are ones he recommends.
