Episodes
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.
Episode 71: Insurance Won’t Cover THAT
Since today is the Autumnal Equinox, I thought we’d go spooky with one of the truly seminal works of horror, The House on the Borderland.
Episode 70: Drama is Always Center Stage
Sense and Sensibility might be my second favorite Jane Austen work. I love the book, but hey, the movie hits it out of the park too!
Episode 69: Heads Will Roll in…OZ???
L. Frank Baum wrote the first American fairy tale with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It’s a surprising book that no movie has yet lived up to.
Episode 68: Blue Men Do It Better
I make a case for Valmiki’s culturally important epic poem, The Ramayana. There might be a flying monkey and a blue guy, but this is a SERIOUS work!
