Widow's Bay episode 4 skewers self-help books
I've been really enjoying AppleTV's new horror comedy series Widow's Bay, and the most recent episode may have some crossover appeal for IBCK listeners. The show follows the incompetent municipal staff on a creepy mysterious New England island (Think the cast of Parks and Rec stuck in Stephen King novel.)
In Episode 4 a social outcast townie starts reading a self-help party planning book that gets slowly more and more nefarious. It was a really fresh take on the "cursed tome" subgenre by combining it with the "one simple trick to success" of the self-help genre.
