Ep 636 - The Screwtape Letters, by C.S. Lewis

Overdue ·

2024/03/04

The Screwtape Letters, written from the point of view of a demon whose object is to send souls to Hell, is a deeply Christian work but its appeal comes just as much from C.S. Lewis' insight into what makes humanity tick.

2024/02/05

To kick off a month of sequel coverage, we get bone deep in the Locked Tomb follow up Harrow the Ninth.

Ep 631 - The Aunt Who Wouldn't Die, by Shirshendu...

Overdue ·

2024/01/29

An early-90s Bengali novel that was translated into English relatively recently, The Aunt Who Wouldn't Die has a lot going for it, but as with many books the thing we'll remember the most is the murderous horny ghost aunt.

Ep 630 - Nothing to See Here, by Kevin Wilson

Overdue ·

2024/01/22

Move along, everyone. Nothing to see here. No women navigating adult friendships and their identities as parents. No jabs at men in power who work overtime to cover up their shame. And definitely no kids that catch on fire. Move along! Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.

Ep 628 - The Witch Elm, by Tana French

Overdue ·

2024/01/15

The Witch Elm has Dublin, and it has murder, and it has a squad of detectives, but despite all that it is not a book in Tana French’s Dublin Murder Squad series. This riff on her classic crime novel formula focuses instead on some of the suspects, namely Toby Hennessey, who doesn’t know if he can’t remember things because of head trauma or because for most of his life he’s been able to get by without acknowledging the existence of systemic problems.

Ep 627 - Lady Chatterley's Lover, by D.H. Lawrence

Overdue ·

2024/01/08

Banned in many countries until the 1960s, David Herbert Lawrence's 1928 novel is both racier and tamer than you might imagine. What more would you expect from a book that uses both "the love experience" and [BLEEP] to describe, well, adult behavior? Caveat lictor: this episode features discussions of Adult Situations.

Ep 626 - The House at Pooh Corner, by A.A. Milne

Overdue ·

2024/01/01

Happy 2024, and happy Public Domain day! Time finally caught up to US copyright law a few years ago, and the result has been a steady trickle of new creative work that’s available for anyone to modify and adapt.

You can't spell Horny without Ho(-Ho-Ho)! In this year's Happy Hornydays celebration, one of the people finding love during the holiday season is Santa herself. That's right, this is an F/F steamy short featuring a gender-swapped Kristina Kringle and the niece (???) of Melchior (????) the Magi (?????).

This generation-spanning epic explores the experience of a Korean family living in Japan throughout (most of) the 20th century. We talk about Lee's use of time, her penchant for "minor" characters, and the recent adaptation of Pachinko for Apple TV+. Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.

Ep 623 - Titus Groan, by Mervyn Peake

Overdue ·

2023/12/11

Despite being fairly well-versed in 20th-century fantasy, Mervyn Peake and his Gormenghast series has flown completely under our radar until now. It's a strange, florid, disjointed book with some fascinating character portraits, and also the most detailed description of a dude taking a bite of a pear that we have ever read.
