Author N.J. Gallegos returns to the podcast to talk to Scotty about her new novel "The Fatal Mind" (October 15, Winding Road Stories). They talk about N.J.'s day job as an ER doctor, and how that inspired the particular suspense in "The Fatal Mind." They also discuss concussions, moral gray areas, murky ethics, the rush that happens when saving a life...and the specific squick-factor inherent in the type of body horror you find in a medical setting.

They also dig into two classic episodes of the Netflix series "Black Mirror"--"The Entire History of You" (from season 1) and "Men Against Fire" (from season 3).

WARNING: Scotty and N.J. get into spoiler territory with "The Entire History of You" and "Men Against Fire."
