The Horror at Red Hook and The Ballad of Black Tom: Part Two

We're standing up for everyone's right to not text back (14:20 to skip). It's time for a new addition to our most hated characters list, welcome to the club Mr. Howard! Even the worst world takeover by an eldritch horror will be ok as long as you have prep time.

Next week we're reading the first third of Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie!

Special thanks to VOLO for the intro and outro music.

The Horror at Red Hook and The Ballad of Black Tom: Part One

Luke reminds us that while ball is life, sometimes life is not ball (9:06 to skip). Hitting Lovecraft with a classic compliment sandwich. A nice, tall compliment sandwich. Also what does it truly mean to grift?

Shadow Over Innsmouth & Litany of Earth

I know we talk about food a lot, but have we already done this warmup? (9:30 to skip) Frog/Fish people are looking for mates, time to get in line. Turns out Dan is really brave and is up for a tour of Innsmouth. Plus is our narrator just kind of a jerk?

To answer a question we had in episode, yes there are more published works in the Litany of Earth series!

Special thanks to VOLO for the intro and outro music.
