“So things like Rez Gothic rising, I think that’s wonderful. It just establishes that we can claim whatever field we want to; we can go to whatever bookshelves we want to and we don’t need permission.” www.montanapress.net/post/rez-got...

Ep 771 - The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones

"One of my most persistent memories is climbing a very dark, very narrow staircase at my grandmother’s house...That image has stayed with me my whole life, and even though there was something comforting at the end—my grandmother—that staircase was the first thing I pictured."

What should Convince Craig be about? There are no bad ideas in brainstorming!!

At least according to this article, none of these include ghosts that fill you with bugs

Ep 770 - She Waits Where Shadows Gather, by Michelle Tang

"No more nukes?" "No! More nukes!"

If you think space fascism and bugs are scary, wait til you see the SPOOKTOBER SCHEDULE

My phone when it really wants me to update my apps but I keep forgetting to and the little number keeps climbing higher and higher:

Ep 769 - Starship Troopers, by Robert A. Heinlein

Everything old (blogs) is new again (newsletters)

Any book that MAKES this reference TAKES bonus points, so...bonus points to Retro.

“I knew, intellectually, that our ideas about the past are more fantasy than reality, but it was VERY different to see people romanticize a recent past that I had actually lived through and that I remembered so well. I promise we were not thinking ‘wow, 2002 is the best time ever to be alive!!!’”

Ep 768 - Retro, by Jessica M. Goldstein

"I would go to signings a few years after Kitchen Confidential came out, and people would come up to me, mostly guys, they’d high-five me over the table with one hand and slide me a packet of cocaine with the other. And it was like dude, have you not read the book?"

This Part (of the show) is very Known

“We don’t do retakes,” he said. “We don’t do ‘hello’ scenes or ‘goodbye, thank you very much’ scenes. I’d rather miss the shot than have a bogus shot.”

Ep 767 - Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain

“At every step the prospect ahead grew more enchanting with added detail of crenellated crags and lichen-patterned stone. Now a mountain laurel glossy above the dogwood's dusty silver leaves, now a dark slit between two rocks where maidenhair fern trembled like green lace.”

Now if the girls on Hanging Rock had simply done a jump to the left and then a step to the right with their hands on their hips and their knees in tight, they could have happily returned to their picnic and done the time warp again whenever they felt like it.

"Joan Lindsay herself lived a sort of time warp, born under the reign of Queen Victoria and publishing her first novel during the Vietnam War. That it’s still being read and adapted is another kind of leap through time."

Ep 766 - Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay

Sitting down to a nice Nona-approved lunch of erasers, sand, grape stems, and a tall glass of salt water.

Ep 765 - Nona the Ninth (The Locked Tomb #3), by Tamsyn Muir (w/ Meghan Winch)

"It’s also a riff on Shakespeare’s 'A Midsummer Night’s Dream'...Here, in the woods of modern Denmark, Ernst’s characters also have space to think about what they want, whom they desire and how they’re living. That’s the magic of midsummer, Ernst said: 'What if the rules were suddenly — bendy?'”

If you can’t beat (trick) ‘em, join (treat) ‘em

"I started writing it two or three years ago. There was a frustration – or wonder, should I say – about everyone falling into place, settling and appearing quite serene about that. And I had this cognitive dissonance, like, weren’t we radicals five minutes ago?"

Ep 764- Waist Deep by Linea Maja Ernst

[handing you your hot bean water at our cozy fantasy hot bean water shop] Our age of yawns is collapsing…

"I was joking in my Discord that what I really wanted was to have a Hallmark movie set in the Forgotten Realms – I wanted something where I felt okay after I was done reading it."

Rolling a nat 20 at the hot bean water shop gets you the best table and quiet customers who don't clear their throat a lot and a coffee dunking stick that's the right size and density

“I call it the covered furniture rule...It’s like having a sheet draped over a bunch of furniture. I know that’s probably a couch right there, and that’s a recliner, and that’s a wooden chair. But until it becomes relevant, I don’t twitch back the sheet and see what’s under it.”
