Who knew an eternity of carnage could be so fun? We had a blast reading the Warhammer 40,000 novel Blackstone Fortress (by Darius Hinks; 2019, Black Library). Listen on RSS , Spotify, YouTube , and all other podcatchers. Episode recorded Sept. 18, 2024.

Sparse prose and gruesome history team up in this adaptation of the 1978, multi-Academy Award winning film The Deer Hunter . Warning: The episode includes discussion of self-harm and horrors of war . Listen on Spotify,  YouTube , RSS , and all other podcatchers. We put together a YouTube playlist to help put the book into the context of both the film and the Vietnam War. This episode was recorded Aug. 25, 2022. The outro music is "For What It's Worth" by tombo , used with permission.

  The Goosebumps parody nobody wanted is back, baby! From 1995, the vile and juvenile Gooflumps by R.U. Slime sticks its moist fingers in our eyes and your ears, if you dare! Recorded: Oct. 12, 2023 Theme song: "Was That Away Message For Me?" by 8bit bEtty Spooky opening music: "Nevermore" by Scaretrax . We didn't use enough of this track - it's a really cool song. Note: In the episode, we mention the book's cover artist... but fail to mention his actual name! Mark Garro is an amazing artist, and not just of book covers.
