    Ep 109 A Mind of My Own by Kathy Burke

    The two crones settle in with steaming mugs and a copy of Kathy Burke’s A Mind of My Own, ready to revel in every page. Fans of Burke’s razor-sharp wit and fearless honesty, they find themselves nodding, cackling and occasionally tearing up as they wander through her life stories. This episode is less a review than a joyful celebration with two seasoned souls tipping their crooked hats to a woman who speaks with unflinching truth and wicked humour. Inspired by Burke’s brilliance, the crones rise a little straighter, swear a little louder and laugh until the rafters shake because when Kathy Burke writes, the crones listen, love and loudly approve.

    EP 107 REVIEW Sacculina by Philip Fracassi

    Two crones settle by the fire, salt-stained shawls wrappedtight and crack open Sacculina. One cackles at the brine-soaked horror, the other mutters about family curses and the sea’s appetite. Together they weigh Fracassi’s tale of parasitic dread, partmyth, part body horror, against the eternal pull of the abyss. The verdict? A barnacled gem, dripping with menace, bestconsumed with a stiff drink and a wary glance at the tide…     Synopsis: Strang isn’t the small, quaint town it appears to be. It’shaunted every night by a creature the townsfolk refer to as Halloween. Once the sun sets each day, Halloween emerges to collect its treats: a small, live offering from each household. The residents comply because no one wants to bethe target of Halloween’s tricks. But the nightmare of residing in Strang is nothing compared to the yearly ritual Halloween demands of the citizens on All Hallows’ Eve.   Stats: Pages: Length: 90 pages / Audio: 2hrs 21 mins   SPOLIERS, MATURE THEMES AND LANUGAUGE SOME LISTENERS MAY FIND OFFENSIVE.
