'I FOUND it hard to place Mr. Douglas Hyde's magnificent story. Among the ghosts or the fairies? It is among the fairies on the grounds that all these ghosts and bodies were in no manner ghosts and bodies, but pishogues--fairy spells. One often hears of these visions of Ireland.' Taking, of all things, the Hellboy story 'The Corpse' as a starting point, Cian is joined by Dr Aoife Bhreatnach from the Censored Podcast to talk about Irish burial customs, the stories of Douglas Hyde, changelings, folkloric moving graveyards, sectarian burial rivalries, Irish fairy lore, and lots more!

Two great monsters that monster great together! This week we talk about two short stories from Hellboy: The Chained Coffin and Others, officially numbered volume three but the stories take place all over Hellboy's timeline. We're finally getting a sampling of Mike Mignola's writing here, a little taste of the short story form that he has utterly mastered. There's a lot of folklore to discuss with these two well worn creatures from the past. We're also going to see some long term arcs start to build as the Baba Yaga is going to come back in a Big Bad way down the line. As for Iron Shoes...well, just listen to the episode.
Artist Justin Hall joins Tristan and Andrew for a road trip with evil fairies and a sad wolf woman.

But the horror and bloodshed of constant warfare has finally taken its toll on the man myth calls the Eternal Warrior…and he has abdicated his duties as the Fist and the Steel of Earth for a quiet life of seclusion. But when a blood vendetta from the distant past suddenly reappears in the modern day, he must decide if he will return to the ways of war…for the child who betrayed him thousands of years ago… [rating:2.5/5] RODRIGO KISS ME, SATAN #1 Writer: Victor Gischler Artist: Juan Ferreyra Cassian Steele is the boss of the werewolf mafia in the Big Easy, and he’s got a problem.
