    Psychotic Breaks and "The Tell-Tale Heart" Ep. 7

    Psychotic Breaks and "The Tell-Tale Heart" Ep. 7

    It took until our seventh episode to jump back over the pond and cover a work by lauded Gothic horror writer, Edgar Allan Poe. We discuss the narrator’s psychotic break in “The Tell-Tale Heart,” compare it to some modern works, and Patrick embarrasses Lizze (and himself) with a passionate spoken word rendition of Cannibal Corpse’s “Evidence In the Furnace.” Leave us a rating and review on iTunes

    "The Monkey's Paw" and the Unspeakable Ep. 6

    "The Monkey's Paw" and the Unspeakable Ep. 6

    For the run-up to Halloween (the greatest holiday of the year), we review one of Patrick's absolute favorite short stories, and a piece that helped inspire Stephen King's Pet Semetary--"The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs. Just what makes this story so unsettling? We think it's because of what Jacobs leaves to the reader's imagination.

    "The Signal-Man" and Premonitions of Death Ep. 4

    We zoom forward over 100 years, from the Castle of Otranto to the bowels of Victorian England to discuss a lesser-known work by the Great Charles Dickens, The Signal-Man. We also discuss a classic element of the Gothic: premonitions of death.
