We kick off the episode with some publishing news, a quick discussion about putting your previously published stories into your own collection, and what changes we think are acceptable from a publisher's editors. The actual episode begins around the 17:36 mark for those who want to jump straight to our review of Violent Advents: A Christmas Horror Anthology which features Caleb's story, Maggot Party. We digress several times in this one with one of the more interesting topics being that of contemporary authors writing in first person present tense. If you're a fan of horror anthologies, you will love this collection! You can follow us on X, Facebook, and Instagram @dpwpodcast You can check out Caleb's work at www.calebjamesk.com.

We open the episode with a few reviews and some possibly upsetting Neil Gaiman news. After that, we have a fun discussion about the novel NSFW by previous DPW guest David Scott Hay. We talk about the themes of the book and how they reflect our current world, why experimental fiction might not work for all readers, and the dark road our society might be going down. You can snag a copy of NSFW on Amazon or go to David's website. You can follow us on X, Instagram, and Facebook @dpwpodcast
Lindsey and Tifani reminisce over BOtM. Happy Reading!
So...........we all know that Prog has the reputation for looooooong songs, so I thought this week, we'd capitalise on that (plus I had limited time to prepare the show LOL) with a three hour show totally and utterly dedicated to long Prog epics and even though there are many to choose from ( For example, I could have picked a track from the band Galleon, "The Ocean" from their 2003 album "From Land To Sea" - second disc - ONE TRACK - 52 mins long !!!! Or how about Edison's Children - From their 2013 album "The Final Breath Before November" - The third track on the album, "Silhouette" - 1 hour 7 minutes ffs !!!) No, we did manage to squeeze in 8 tracks including our current BOTM, Sylvan. Hope you enjoy the ride - Steve G (Rita is conspicuous by her absence !!) Playlist Sylvan – Forgotten Virtue Pink Floyd – Echoes K2 – Infinite Voyage Spock's Beard – The Great Nothing (Live) Citizen Cain – Somewhere But Yesterday IQ – Harvest Of Souls Steven Wilson – Raider II Focus – Eruption (abridged)

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, David Silva returns with the greatest action figures ever created, CYBERZOIC!“…. Hold on to your butts.” You may already know David Silva as the main man and mind behind, literally, the best dinosaur figures on the market today, “Beasts of the Mesozoic.” Well he's back , Jack! And with a project that's even wilder. So don your armor, sharpen those blades, and saddle up that dino, cause Cyberzoic is here. Back-boning off the mountains of design and production work of BotM, he's building a new world with a skeleton crew of amazing concept artists and designers. The story takes place on the future planet of Gaea 2. Sometimes fiction mimics life, as relations between rival factions breakdown over the discovery of outlawed Ai and things get very adversarial between colonies. Through the lens of a handful of prominent warriors, we'll navigate conflicts of war and discover what lies at the heart of their fascinating world. Cyberzoic has all the tiger milk and then some; badass warriors, a character named Dragolina (who we love), advanced societies, intelligent dragons, genetically engineered creatures, and (of course) dinosaurs. What more can a kid want! As David says in the campaign: “Cyberzoic, like Beasts of the Mesozoic, is primarily a line of 1/18th scale prehistoric wildlife action figures featuring a high level of detail and articulation, with designs inspired by our natural world. But Cyberzoic takes the animals to the next level, adding converting armor sets, modular armor weapons, human rider characters, and natural history-inspired Dragons! In addition, several of the armor units are backward compatible with Beasts of the Mesozoic figures of similar size and type. So the Cyberzoic collection isn't limited to these new offerings- you may have already started one!”The campaign is just a couple weeks into it's launch and already smashed through it's initial funding goals. With constant updates and new stretch goal rewards being revealed this is definitely worth sinking your teeth into.Oh yeah, and there is a Cyberzoic comic series that is in the works and our very own cohost is in the mix, if you get our drift (more to be revealed soon). So back, follow, support however you can. Silva is doing something fresh, unique, original, and we are here for it!“Cyberzoic” is currently live on Kickstarter, and you can checkout David's “Beast of the Mesozoic” at Creative Beast Studio.A note from Tadd: The “NOW” is the resurgence of the independent creator through crowd sourcing and self-printing availability. As the veil gets pulled back ever further and the predatory practices of the corporate publishing models get revealed, it is more and more important to support those who actually create the stories and art that we as consumers enjoy. So SUPPORT INDIE PROJECTS. Help make the indies the mainstream. Even the smallest of gestures can be of the biggest help.Have you experienced the elusive and majestic energy of the Blue Tiger?

It hasn't been available in Canada for over a decade, and since the restructuring, they have returned north of the united states border so I thought I'd try it out again.

After an unnecessarily long cold open about math, we discuss the novel Chasing the Boogeyman by Richard Chizmar. We highly recommend it. Five out of five whiskey shots!
We discuss our August pick for book of the month, The Sirens of Titan by Kurt Vonnegut. There are many sci-fi shenanigans to cover, but we also cover the book's essential themes: free will, religion, war, and loneliness. This was a fun book to read and we highly recommend checking it out.

She is an expert in all things adorable, a BOTM 3peat author, and can give you the inside scoop on what makes a great kiss. In this episode, Katherine Center talks about her newest novel, The Bodyguard. She also speaks to how the pandemic drove her to write her lightest novel yet, how really good fiction novels trick us into believing they're real, and what it means to “eat” a book. The Bodyguard is about Hannah, an Executive Protection Agent hired to protect the very famous actor Jack Stapleton from a stalker. But when Jack's mom gets sick and he comes home to Texas, he wants to keep his stalker—and need for a bodyguard—a secret from his family. So, Hannah enters into the role of fake girlfriend of Jack. In this witty romance the real question is whose heart needs protecting?Get The Bodyguard at bookofthemonth.com. New members get their first book for just $9.99 with code VBT at checkout.

Aaron Niequist has been to the top of the evangelical mountain and has experienced first hand the goodness and the toxicity and the pain that is often a byproduct of that world. He's come out of the belly of the evangelical beast without the bitterness and cynicism that many of us fall victim to. He doesn't want to label himself an Ex-vangelical. He's dreaming of living in and creating spiritual places and practices that are a convergence of the best of a number of Christian traditions, and it's beautiful. Check out his 2018 book The Eternal Current.In this episode, we tasted Eagle Park Brewing's BOTM's Up and Big BOTM's. They're delicious.Support the show
