On this episode of BBB, Stephen and Mark get to sit down for an extended interview with the husband and wife writing team behind S & E Black, author's of The Chimera Snare: Fragments.

Okay, okay, okay. If you know what this is, you know. If you haven't heard of Dungeon Crawler Carl....oh, friends, you are missing something special. Authored by Matt Dinniman. Madcap, dirty as hell, oddly poignant, and always particularly meta at the end, Dungeon Crawler Carl is a delight. Speaking of delights, on this episode, Stephen and Mark will try a bourbon they've been holding into for quite a while. A bottle of Thomas S. Moore Sherry Wood Cask Bourbon.

Stephen and Mark change locations to the outdoor studio (Mark's backyard) where they almost get destroyed by a fast moving thunderstorm. They almost saw their recording equipment get blown away like little Toto in the basket. Because I bless the rains down in Africa. Because it puts the lotion in the basket. Wait. No. That's a Wizard of Oz reference. Nevermind. Scratch those last two parts. It's all in the name of books and bourbon, two things we know they can't resist, or shut up about. In this

In this episode, Stephen and Mark return to the work of Adrian Tchaikovsky in his novella "Elder Race". Once again, Tchaikovksy blends science fiction with fantasy in an almost Arthurian epic quest of unintended consequences, mistaken identities, mythic expectations, and the inevitable march of time. A SFF story needs an SFF bourbon whiskey to pair with it. So, Stephen and Mark finally crack open a bottle they've been holding onto for a while. Filmland Spirits presents The Town At The Edge of

In this episode, Stephen and Mark explore the layered, intelligent, and gut wrenching horror novel, "Buffalo Hunter Hunter" by Stephen Graham Jones. A Native American revenge story with a supernatural twist, Buffalo Hunter Hunter is as deep and thought provoking as it is horrific, disgusting, and occasionally hilarious in the most awkward ways. A thought provoking story needs a thought provoking whiskey. To pair with Buffalo Hunter Hunter, Stephen and Mark will be sampling In Lieu of Flowers

These cards were made by a long dead king at the price of destroying himself to do it one piece at a time. Tonight we discuss ONE DARK WINDOW by Rachel Gillig. So, that's not morbid or
