When Laird Barron first announced Blood Standard as his first straight crime novel I was excited that an author known for cosmic horror and dread was giving his talents to a project like this. He was a 2007 and 2010 Shirley Jackson Award winner for his collections The Imago Sequence and Other Stories and Occultation and Other Stories. "Mysterium Tremendum" won a 2010 Shirley Jackson Award for best novella. He is also a 2009 nominee for his novelette "Catch Hell" Other award nominations include the Crawford Award, Sturgeon Award, International Horror Guild Award, World Fantasy Award, Bram Stoker Award, and the Locus Award. The Isiah Coleridge novels are weird crime classics, the titles are Blood Standard, Black Mountain, and Worse Angels. The majority of our conversation is focused on these books with a bit of Samurai movie talk. •You can find my books here: Amazon-https://www.amazon.com/David-Agranoff/e/B004FGT4ZW •And me here: Goodreads-http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/2988332.David_Agranoff Twitter-https://twitter.com/DAgranoffAuthor Blog-http://davidagranoff.blogspot.com/

Weird fiction luminary Laird Barron ventures into red-blooded, two-fisted territory in his 2018 novel Blood Standard. The book follows wise-cracking mafia enforcer Isaiah Coleridge as he navigates Upstate New York's organized crime world in search of a missing teen. Themed gangs, knuckle-busting dust-ups, and unexpected romance are just part of what he encounters in his unlikely hero's journey. Kate and Jack discuss the book, its relationship to classic hard-boiled fiction, and whether or not it might be a feel-good male equivalent to the romantic comedy. How believable is a two-fisted Air Force colonel? Does New York State have a pagan festival underground? Are bean bag chairs appropriate gang lair decor? Which one of your hosts mistrusts horses and which one is a secret beastmaster? Find out the answers to all these questions and more in this month's episode of Bad Books for Bad People.

This week, we had a great time talking with Laird Barron, an author who skillfully blends horror and crime and has built one of the genre's most intriguing universes and characters. We got to talk to Laird about a wide variety of topics including the relationship between horror and noir, how the Coleridge novels have evolved since Blood Standard, diversity in the genre, and the upcoming third Isaiah Coleridge novel Worse Angels. We had a great time recording with Laird and we could've easily talked to him for another few hours as he's easy to talk to and extremely knowledgeable about all things literature. We hope to have him on again in the future as we kept thinking of stuff we wanted to talk about long after we wrapped recording. This was an amazing conversation and if you wanted to learn a little bit more about the new Isaiah Coleridge novel, you've come to the right place. Check out our conversation with Laird now right here on Ink Heist or on your favorite streaming service.

Get ready for a deep dive episode into the imagery and themes used by Cloverfield (2008) and how they evoke and comment on imagery from 9/11 and terrorism more generally.  Cloverfield was a pretty big deal back in 2008 and we make sure to talk about the critical reception then and discuss some great scholarly articles that have been produced since then.  If you want to talk more about the themes and imagery contained in this movie, or any horror movie for that matter, head on over to the Horror Pod Class Facebook group and click to join.   To let you know up front, we are discussing two academic papers: "Terrorist Attack!: The Spectacle of Evil in the Blended Horror of Cloverfield" by James Aston of Liverpool Hope University "Cloverfield’s Monstrosity: Ideology and Terror" by Steen Christiansen of  Aalborg University.  This one hosted on Academia.edu, but signup up is free! Show Notes: 2:35- Tyler is watching and enjoying the Handmaid's Tale, even though it can be brutal to watch.  Head on over to Signal Horizon and check out Tyler's reviews and recaps of the show. 3:35-  Did you know that the original novel of the Handmaid's Tale is available on Kindle Unlimited?  It is free to sign up and it also has some pretty awesome horror- click here to see some of the awesome books that make Kindle Unlimited worth it for genre fiction fans. 4:30- Big shout-out to Raygun's, a local Kansas City T-Shirt shop and their Gilead line! 5:30-  Mike is reading Blood Standard by Laird Barron.  It is awesome and you ought to pre-order a copy over on Amazon! 8:00-  Speaking of Laird Barron, one of his novellas Mysterium Tremendum is on Pseudopod and it is read by the very talented Jon Padgett.  This story is a three-parter, but you can check out part one right here. 20:00-  First up is "Cloverfield’s Monstrosity: Ideology and Terror" by Steen Christiansen of  Aalborg University.  This is a super interesting look at how we construct ideologies and their associated images. 33:15-  We talk briefly about the other Cloverfield movies, 10 Cloverfield Lane and the Cloverfield Paradox.  For more about these two movies you can read this really interesting article on Junkee about how 10 Cloverfield Lane continues the War on Terror motif of the first film and also check out Tracy's take on the Cloverfield Paradox. 33:45-  "Terrorist Attack!: The Spectacle of Evil in the Blended Horror of Cloverfield" by James Aston of Liverpool Hope University  This paper is super neat because James Aston argues that the movie at least tries to offer a critique on our collective responses to terrorism. 37:00-  The view that Cloverfield reflected some of the imagery from 9/11 is not just held by a small group of scholars and humble podcasters, in fact it was widely discussed at the time.  You can read this Salon article from 2008 that pretty well sums up the sentiment.   40:30-  A really powerful documentary about 9/11 and the images associated with it is 9/11: The Falling Man.   48:00-  Click here to read more about Philip Fracassi's novella, Shiloh.  48:30- Read more on Wikipedia about the unreleased 1972 Jerry Lewis film, The Day the Clown Cried.  Tyler also talks about Scaramouche Jones, a one person play with a similar theme.  Read more about Scaramouche Jones over at The Telegraph. 59:00- Here is the article on Junkee about how 10 Cloverfield Lane continues the War on Terror motif of the first film.
