Langdon and Eden return once again to the vaulted halls of the genius-brain that was Brian Catling. This time around they cover Earwig, a cold and weird story filled with devilish revenge, body horror, killing your abusers, and cats. But first, the two take time to drive a holy stake through the hearts of fools who are trying to do transphobia, but from the left, as they discuss gender, materialism, and social relations.

Few figures make such a seismic impact on their artistic medium that they transform its reputation from childish pulp entertainment to a vital and exhilarating creative form, capable of exploring the great mysteries of metaphysics, science, and the human spirit – but Alan Moore is one. A modern-day alchemist who transmuted comic books into literary gold, his works not only inspired a later generation of authors who are now household names, from Neil Gaiman to Susanna Clarke, but filmmakers, artists, and storytellers in every medium. Alexandra Ocasio Cortez quotes him online; the Occupy and Anonymous movements adopt the mask of his hero V; and Time magazine honours Watchmen as one of the 20th century's greatest works of literature. A sculptor, poet, performance artist and professor at Oxford's Ruskin School, Brian Catling's creativity transcends any given form. Late in his career he turned his attention to the novel, reimagining its possibilities from the ground up to produce one of the most startling rich and strange works of fantasy ever produced: The Vorrh. Now he returns to the literary world with Hollow: the mesmerising tale of a band of mercenaries journeying through the grotesque, monstrous landscapes of Hieronymus Bosch to deliver an oracle to the monastery at the foot of the Tower of Babel. Coming together to celebrate the magic of human creativity, this unmissable conversation will restore your faith in the power of art to transform life. Learn more about your ad choices.

A standalone novel by iconic artist and author of cult bestseller, THE VORRH. Earwig got his nickname from his grandfather. At the start of this story he is employed to look after a strange little girl in a flat in Liege. He spies on her, listens to her by holding a glass up to the wall. But he never touches her except when, as part of his duties, he is required to is to make teeth of ice and insert them in her gums. Earwig takes a rare day off, which he spends drinking by himself in Au Metro, a seedy bar full of drunks, dancers and eccentrics. It is St Martin's day and in the evening as crowds parade through the street carrying lanterns through the snow, he is drawn reluctantly into a conversation with a sinister stranger called Tyre. As a result Earwig accidentally maims a waitress with a broken bottle. He understands that on some level Tyre meant this to happen. Shortly afterwards a black cat is delivered to the flat, unasked for. The girl forms an immediate bond with it, but Earwig identifies it as the enemy. Travelling across country by train, transporting the girl and her black cat, Earwig is increasingly caught up in a web of unfortunate and increasingly violent coincidences.
Выпуск, который я собрала в свой др, - разговор двух фанатов фантастики о странных и необычных вещах, избегающих реалистичности. Пули-самоубийцы, шахты в теле мертвых богов, текст, склеенный операторами языка программирования, дельфин из Атлантиды и живые наркотики. Беглая карта странной дичи без известных хитов + обширные знания Артема (https://t.me/fantasy_sf) в непереведенных вещах, чтобы набить свою читалку до отказа. Как бонус - можно услышать вопли кота.

Join your hosts Chris and Jill for an intimate conversation with the artist and author Brian Catling. Catling is a novelist, poet and artist whose practice reaches across painting, sculpture, installation and performance. His surreal narratives, performances and sculptures evoke a sophisticated awareness of disability, exploring the vulnerability, grace and toughness of brokenness, alienation, healing and heroics throughout his rich and detailed multi-disciplinary practice.

The man who would be King! Royal Academician, Brian Catling on his literary trilogy THE VOORH, his visual art work and why the cowboy character, Doc Holliday is so important.
This week we cover a usual assortment of topics. Jeff Loomis not being allowed to write for Arch Enemy, Thom Yorke and Roger Waters going at it about Israel, Soundcloud being on the verge of death, kind of, the new Enslaved single, and this interesting op-ed from WSJ about how negative music reviews have disappeared. We also revisit the latest Shokran album, then talk about small things in songs that immediately sell us on them. Then some cool people time, with Hannu Rajaniemi's The Quantum Thief, Brian Catling's The Erstwhile, and more! Enjoy! By the way, the NYN album Entropy: Of Chaos And Salt is finally out, so check it out!
Two very different books, Iain Sinclair’s Black Apples of Gower and Brian Catling’s The Vorrh share a measure of common ground: the Cave of Origin (in which all narratives fester and cook). The two writers discuss and read from their work. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
