Hello everyone!!

For this month's spooky HBM we go back to Interview with a Vampire! Season 2! And in good company too, with Jay, of LibraryPunk and Tender Subject fame!

It's vampire talk again, as we go back into interviewing immortal beings and finding out just how interesting their drama really is. Is it? We wonder that as we dive into this continued adaptation, its successes and limits, and just how effective, or not, their queer representation really is effective or that engaging!

Enjoy!

And, of course, check out Jay's work elsewhere!

Hello everyone!!

It's October and you know what that means! We drag the ghost, from their crypts (or ship) and have a good Halloween book chat!

As Jon joined us for China Mieville's 2nd book of the Bas-Lag Trilogy: the Scar!

It's a great time talking about the power and potential of class consciousness, the strange dynamics of cities, pirates, liberation, and the terrible risks of mishandling quantum and nuclear physics.

It's Mieville, it's a fun book, and a phenomenal chat! Enjoy!

Also buy Jon's Book!

Hello everyone!!

For this chaotic month's HBM we're diving into one of Frank's favourite genres, right back into detective fiction! This time talking about the very weird and very interesting Paradise Killer!

Join us as we discuss the complexities of building a world from scratch, of making a sociologically compelling story, and creating a decent and engaging medium to solve a mystery. All while dealing with the colonial violence and oppression exacted by an even more powerful ruling class!

What kind of detective are we, when we're the supreme elite?

All this and more on this episode! Enjoy!
