Nicola Yoon's first novel for adults, titled "One of Our Kind," is classified as a thriller. And while it doesn't necessarily contain any gore, that doesn't stop it from being a book of horror story. KMUW's Beth Golay recently spoke with Yoon, and we have their conversation.

  • The Royals want in on the conversation about jumping the state line into Kansas. They plan to lobby legislators during the June 18th special session.
