    Episode 17.5 - Songs of a Dead Dreamer & Grimscribe by Thomas Ligotti - Part 9

    The only thing Ligeia and Leraje are more agreed upon than their mutual hatred of overly long hot Summers is the certainty of wanting to talk more about the existential shadowy bleakness of Thomas Ligotti's words. So draw the curtains against the awful day, light a solitary candle and listen in as they descend into depravity and the pleasures of the beautiful darkness.

    Episode 17 - White Is For Witching by Helen Oyeyemi

    Ligeia, Pike, Lithos and Leraje discuss their thoughts about their last read - Helen Oyeyemi's 2010 Somerset Maugham Award winning novel White is for Witching. A modern gothic horror with themes of generational trauma, the malevolence of racism and consumption.

    Episode 16.5 - Songs of a Dead Dreamer & Grimscribe by Thomas Ligotti - Part 8

    Yep, still hot. So to fight off the impending sense of the inevitability of a sun induced doom Ligeia and Leraje distract themselves from the heat with the cold nihilism of Thomas Ligotti.

    Episode 16 - You Weren't Meant To Be Human by Andrew Joseph White

    This time we read and discussed Andrew Joseph White's debut adult novel (he has written several youth oriented books prior to this). An incredibly disturbing, relentless, emotionally punishing and yet very important work, it is strongly recommended you consult the trigger/content warnings on his website (see link below) before reading! Transcript (PDF): https://devilslibrary.org/t/ep16.pdf Novel content warnings - seriously, read them! https://andrewjosephwhite.com/content-warnings%3A-ywmtbh Novel : https://openlibrary.org/books/OL57776397M/You_Weren%27t_Meant_to_Be_Human Devil's Library on: Bluesky: https://thedevilslibrary.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedevilslibrarians Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@thedevilslibrary666 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedevilslibrary Storygraph: https://app.thestorygraph.com/profile/thedevilslibrary Our sister podcast, Devil's Discourse, is here: https://devils-discourse.podbean.com

    Episode 15.5 - Books of Blood by Clive Barker, Part I

    Ligeia and Leraje love Ligotti but we do sometimes need a break. So we are turning to Clive Barker's Books of Blood, originally released as 6 separate volumes each containing a few short stories, some of which are famous (The Forbidden became the movie Candyman) and some which aren't. There's no plan, we chose these stories completely arbitrarily.

    Episode 14.5 - Songs of a Dead Dreamer & Grimscribe by Thomas Ligotti - Part 7

    As temperatures soar across Europe, Ligeia and Leraje decide to cheer themselves up with three more stories from the Maestro of Misanthropy, Thomas Ligotti. This time we read the stories from 'The Voice of the Demon' section from Grimscribe. There are four stories in that section but we had already read 'In The Shadow of Another World' so we didn't talk much about that one. If you want to hear us talk about that story, go to episode 3.5 which is the second one in the list of Ligotti episodes below.

    Episode 14 - The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks

    This time we talk about Iain Banks' 1984 debut novel The Wasp Factory. The book carries content warnings, notably for the animal cruelty in it and so does this episode as we have to discuss these aspects. Obviously we don't graphically describe the details though.
