The Overstory

Richard Powers
Talking Scared PodcastTalking Scared Podcast

I’m reading Richard Powers’ THE OVERSTORY and thinking… …how does American Fiction conjure the epic so powerfully from a few centuries of history, when British fiction has millennia to play with, but doesn’t deal in the same grandeur?

Jackal

Another soon-to-be guest having their book birthday today. JACKAL is a rage-fuelled horror story of murder and prejudice amongst the Rust Belt. It’s twisty and twisted and I liked it a lot.

I started reading LINGHUN at 8am and I didn't stop till i finished it three hours later. @AiJiang_ has written a totally unique ghost story. Threads of @claymcleod's GHOST EATERS, a hint of Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" – all woven into a tight little tapestry of heartache. https://t.co/OkLAUlaOKS

Hey all - i'm speaking the man himself @joelansdale about his new novel MOON LAKE soon. I have the luxury of a week's free reading beforehand. Which of his other books would you most recommend? I've read a fair bit, but there is so much to choose from.

I need to read a 900 page book on five days!! Thankfully, the book in question is Stephen Markley’s THE DELUGE and from the first 50 pages I almost expect it to be one of the greatest books I’ve ever read.

Screams from the Dark: 29 Tales of Monsters and the Monstrous

.@NBallingrud does his wonderful American Gothic thing in “Three Mothers Mountain.” It’s a bleak campfire tale, a backwoods Brothers Grimm, an Appalachian Monkeys Paw, a timeless fable of witches, dark magic, and brotherly love. Captivating and possibly my favourite.
