    Introducing Malazan Maniacs (Cross-post)

    That's right folks, we've got a new podcast. This time, we're sticking with one series: the Malazan Book of the Fallen. If you've never heard of it, it's a notoriously dense high fantasy series, but Mc and Danylo both love it. Their partners...well, we'll see. We're releasing our introduction podcast and the first proper episode here on our Hardcover Hooligans feed, but to get the rest you can search 'Malazan Maniacs' wherever you get your podcasts. INTRODUCING MALAZAN MANIACS We introduce ourselves, chat about Malazan generally, and talk about everyone’s experiences reading fantasy. Your hosts are Danylo and Mc from the Hardcover Hooligans podcast, plus their significant others Shelby and Sarah, who they’ve somehow convinced to do this. Links: We’ll be using this guide during our re-through. It’s a great resource for first-time readers. https://reactormag.com/columns/malazan-reread-of-the-fallen/ Thanks for listening!

    Iron Flame - Part 3

    Our eternal plod through this ‘sexy’ tome continues. Plus, a plot twist no one saw coming: maybe we want to keep reading? CW: There’s finally a sex scene in this book, so we talk about sexually explicit topics throughout and make sexual jokes. If this is not aligned with your sensibilities, best skip this one, old chap.

    The Man in the High Castle

    An alternate history where everyone makes decisions using an ancient Chinese fortune telling book instead of ChatGPT. CW: This is a book about the Nazis winning World War 2. So we talk about that sort of stuff. I’m sure you know the sort of stuff we’re talking about. The Man in the High Castle By Philip K.

    Iron Flame - Part 2

    “This is a book written by a maniac for lunatics.” - Mc CW: This is a sexy book, so we discuss sexual topics throughout. So don’t listen to this on speakerphone at a Wal-Mart. Or do, it would be good for our marketing maybe.

    The Word for World Is Forest

    A book that has nothing at all to do with what’s happening in our world right now. Plus, we chat about current events in our city, which are, again, entirely unrelated to this book.
