Happy Halloween! What better way to celebrate it finally getting cool than reading our favorite monster story? This month we read Mary Shelley's classic and brilliant Frankenstein!

We tackle the second book in Jemisin's incredible Broken Earth Trilogy.

Using these two great short stories as a jumping off point we take on a wide ranging conversation on policing, revolution, violence, biopolitics and more!

With a number of authors re imagining Lovecraft's work and engaging with his very problematic legacy we take the opportunity read the great Ballad of Black Tom and the short story, Horror at Red Hook, on which it is based.

Phew! We finish up reading the second half of The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin and it shouldn't come as any surprise that we are really excited about it!

From Anarchist Utopia to climate catastrophe. In this episode we talk about the first half of Jemisin's excellent The Fifth Season. 

Episode 1. We read Margaret Killjoy's excellent novella A Country of Ghosts. Billed as anarchist utopian fiction we get a chance to start with a bang exploring colonial expansion and anarchist rebellion!
