Episodes
Episode 80: bell hooks
Today’s case is about someone so cool, she didn’t have to obey the rules of grammar! That’s bell hooks and she was a writer who had several works that should be read by anyone identifying as human.
Episode 79: It’s Creepy Either Way
The Turn of the Screw by Henry James is a work that has no consensus from readers as to whether it’s actually about ghosts or not. That just makes it more interesting.
Episode 78: The Nose Knows
We’re talking about a great play in this episode! Cyrano de Bergerac is a terrific good time and I can’t imagine you wanting to pass this one up!
Episode 77: Home is Where the Poet Is
In this episode, it’s all about Emily Dickinson, one of the most important American poets of the nineteenth century.
Episode 76: You Need a Bigger Boat on the Danube!
Algernon Blackwood’s classic The Willows is a great short story, a true tale of horror for nature-lovers!
Episode 75: Bonus Filler: A Biography!
This is another bonus episode recast, this one about a biography on Anais Nin titled, “ANAIS: The Erotic Life of Anais Nin” by Noel Riley Fitch. Check it out!
Episode 74: Save Rufus, Save It All
Octavia E. Butler’s classic, Kindred is a work that transcends genre. I hadn’t read it before, but I freaking loved it.
Episode 73: Sex, Drugs, and Shakespeare
Aldous Huxley’s dystopian novel, A Brave New World is today’s subject. I almost departed from horror, but this still counts. Boy, does it ever.
Episode 72: Mysteries, Horror, and Poe
In keeping with spooky season, I’m talking Edgar Allan Poe this week. But make no mistake, he wrote MUCH more than horror.
