Marlon and Jake take on violence in fiction: what makes it effective, what makes it gratuitous, and whether “gratuitous violence” is even a useful distinction. Tune in as they discuss the difference between violence on the page and on screen and why extended cruelty can be harder to stomach than violence itself.

Mary Shelley didn't just create Frankenstein - she helped invent modern science fiction while forever changing the landscape of horror. This episode, we explore her remarkable life: her radical parents, scandalous romance with Percy Shelley, the personal tragedies that shaped her, and the stormy night that gave birth to one of literature's greatest monsters. Along the way, we'll also trace how a novel written by an eighteen-year-old became one of the most influential stories ever told, inspiring centuries of debate about science, humanity, and what it truly means to be a creator.

It's an often-told, momentous story: how in the summer of 1816, four friends, including famed Romantic poets Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron, along with Mary Godwin (soon to be Mary Shelley) and Byron's doctor John Polidori, gathered in a Swiss villa and decided to tell each other ghost stories to pass the time. Mary Shelley began to write Frankenstein, and John Polidori wrote what would become the first modern vampire tale. It's hard to imagine a more spectacular outcome for four people--except that there were not four people involved. There were five. In this episode, Jacke talks to novelist Emily Franklin about her new book Love & Other Monsters, which narrates the story from the point of view of the fifth member of the group, Mary Shelley's stepsister Claire Clairmont, whom Mary tried to erase from history. PLUS Mathelinda Nabugodi (The Trembling Hand: Reflections of a Black Woman in the Romantic Archive) stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read.

De engelska romantiska diktarna var inga världsfrånvända skönandar, utan politiska poeter som radikalt ville förändra samhället. Gabriella Håkansson berättar en historia som ofta glöms bort. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Ursprungligen publicerad 2019-08-15.Tanken på att promenera har något idylliskt över sig. Ett slags frid förknippad med naturen – kanske ser man en romantisk poet som William Wordsworth framför sig, som strövar runt i grönskan och stannar till för att besjunga en blomma eller en antik ruin vid vägkanten.Första gången jag hörde talas om den engelska romantiken var på gymnasiet, vi läste John Keats dikt ”Ode till en grekisk urna” och diskuterade dess olika metapoetiska aspekter. Vi fick lära oss ord som ekfras och sonett, men inte i vilket sammanhang den här vackra poesin skrevs. Och visst fascinerades jag av lord Byrons incestuösa kärlekshistorier och Mary Shelleys tragiska liv – men romantiken blev ändå för mig en estetisk, lite världsfrånvänd rörelse som målade upp ruiner i månljus, stilla promenader och vild natur, och jag tror att den här gymnasiala bilden av romantiken lever kvar hos många, ännu idag.Sällskapets syfte var att upprätta en självstyrande republik, där man och kvinna ska leva i enhet med naturen, dela makten och arbetet lika, och där allt privatägande är avskaffat.Man brukar säga att startskottet för den engelska romantiken var diktsamlingen ”Lyrical Ballads”. Den kom ut 1798, och skrevs gemensamt av Samuel Taylor Coleridge och William Wordsworth. Boken kom till medan de gick långa promenader i det engelska landskapet, och avhandlade Spinoza och tysk metafysik.Så sägs det i varje fall.Men Historien kan berättas på många sätt, och jag tänkte berätta en annan version, med mindre månljus – och mer action, som tar sin utgångspunkt i Samuel Coleridge politiska engagemang.Redan som sjuttonåring skrev den unge poeten sin första prorevolutionära dikt "Bastiljens fall", och tre år senare år senare vann han en poesitävling med ett kritiskt ”Ode till slav-handeln”. Hans rum på Cambridge blev snabbt ett centrum för den radikala studentrörelsen och han kom att umgås med den ökända klick ultraradikaler som kallades för ”de engelska jakobinerna”. Bland dem fanns framstående författare som William Blake, filosofen Mary Wollstonecraft och hennes sambo William Godwin. Själva kallade de sig demokrater och ordnade massmöten där tiotusentals människor kom för att kräva allmän rösträtt. Staten fick kalla fötter och svarade med inskränkt mötesfrihet och gav kronan rätt att kasta vem som helst i fängelse.Konflikten mellan demokraterna och överhögheten förde England farligt nära inbördeskrigets rand, och det var i de här kretsarna den 20-årige Coleridge befann sig när han formade som poet. Sommaren 1794 beslutade han sig för att prova den nya flugan – att fotvandra. Att gå sågs inom rörelsen som det yttersta uttrycket för demokrati. Man klädde sig folkligt, hängde på lokala värdshus och umgicks med allmogen. Filosofiskt knöt man an till de antika vandrande föreläsarna, men promenaden var också ett sätt att återerövra den gamla medeltida idén om allmänningen, ja, att gå till fots var på alla sätt ett politiskt statement. Iklädd arbetarjacka, lösa byxor och ett bärbart bläckhorn vandrade Coleridge över 80 mil på en månad.Tillsammans med en annan radikal poet – Robert Southey – arbetade han därefter fram ett politiskt program där epokens alla progressiva idéer fördes samman till en messiansk häxbrygd.Under namnet ”Det pantisokratiska sällskapet” skulle Coleridge och Southey frälsa världen från sedelkapitalismens och civilisationens fördärv. Sällskapets syfte var att upprätta en självstyrande republik, där man och kvinna ska leva i enhet med naturen, dela makten och arbetet lika, och där allt privatägande är avskaffat. Pantisokratin får många anhängare, och 1796 lämnar Coleridge, Southey och en tredje kamrat storstan för att utropa den första pantisokratiska kommunen, i en liten lägenhet i Bristol. Men verkligheten kommer snart ikapp. Efter någon månad står man inte ut med varandra. Projektet kollapsar.karaktärerna hämtas från vardagslivet – man skriver om barn, gamlingar och dårhjon – figurer som aldrig tidigare existerat i diktens värld.Men Coleridge ger inte upp. När han senare samma år gifter sig och bildar familj gör han ett nytt försök att realisera utopin, nu i mindre skala, på engelska landsbygden, och det är där han träffar William Wordsworth och dennes syster, Dorothy. Han ordnar ett hus åt syskonen bara ett stenkast från sitt eget, och fortsätter – nu i deras sällskap – sina radikala fotvandringar. I pantisokratisk anda diskuterar de tanken på att revolutionera litteraturen, och skapa ett verk som upplyser och förändrar människan i grunden. Wordsworth är entusiastisk, och 1797 påbörjas det gemensamma projektet med en diktsamling som ska komma att bryta med tidens alla estetiska ideal.Istället för högstämda parabler om grekiska gudar hämtar man stoff från balladen och folksagan, istället för hexameter använder man blankvers. Motiven lånas in från låga genrer som gotiken, och karaktärerna hämtas från vardagslivet – man skriver om barn, gamlingar och dårhjon – figurer som aldrig tidigare existerat i diktens värld. Boken utkommer 1798 under titeln ”Lyrical Ballads”– och resten är historia.Men historien kan som sagt berättas på många olika sätt, och man kan undra varför just den här radikala, politiska bakgrunden till romantiken så ofta har hamnat i skymundan? Kanske för att författarna själva tog avstånd från sin radikalitet när franska revolutionen övergick i blodbad och Frankrike blev Englands ärkefiende. Man reviderade sina ungdomsdikter, och många vände kappan efter vinden och blev konservativa. Den ende som vägrade göra avbön var William Hazlitt, som dyrkade Napoleon ända till sin död. Som tack för det blev han bortglömd i 150 år.Men den förklaringen räcker ändå inte, för den andra generationens romantiker, med lord Byron och makarna Shelley i spetsen, var ju ännu mer avantgardistiska. De skrev en litteratur som öppet fördömde religionen, tog avstånd från äktenskapet och rasade över såväl kommersialismen som miljöförstöringen. Pantisokratin i all ära, men 1812 drog Percy Bysshe Shelley radikaliteten till sin yttersta spets och pekade ut köttätandet som roten till allt ont. Han förespråkade en vegetarisk kostreform som måste genomföras innan någon radikal utopi alls kunde bli verklighet.Shelley hade inte bara hämtat sitt tankegods från föregångarna Godwin och Wollstonecraft, han äktade också deras dotter, Mary. Hon, som 1814 i ett svar på makens subversiva dikt, ”Den befriade Prometheus”, skriver romanen ”Frankenstein”.de gamla romantikerna lyfts fram ur glömskan och nu påstås utgöra Englands guldålder. Men först dammas de av och skrubbas rena från obehagligt politiskt godsFem år senare sätter staten definitivt stopp för den radikala rörelsen genom att i Manchester skicka in kavalleriet när en folkmassa på 60 000 person i söndagskläder kräver rösträtt. Arton dör och 650 skadas i vad som kom att kallas för Peterloomassakern – och med det är romantikens dagar räknade. Coleridge, Shelley och de andra börjar betraktas som mossiga, och det är inte förrän Viktorianerna långt senare försöker skapa en nationell kanon som de gamla romantikerna lyfts fram ur glömskan och nu påstås utgöra Englands guldålder. Men först dammas de av och skrubbas rena från obehagligt politiskt gods - och vips står den bildsköne lord Byron gipsbyst på var mans spiselhylla.Det är några av förklaringarna till hur en av Europas mest progressiva litterära rörelser kunde förvandlas till vacker, men uddlös estetik.I England närmar man sig nu tvåhundraårsdagen av Peterloomassakern och säkert kommer man hedra de som föll offer för statens våld. Kanske kommer vi nu äntligen få se en renässans för alla de galna, visionära utopiska idéer som romantikerna också brann för?Gabriella Håkansson, författare

Margin Notes is back, and on this episode the group tackles Mary Shelley's Frankenstein! The conversation covers the danger of playing God, the necessity of community, and the question at the heart of the book—is the creature truly a villain, or a victim of the man who created him and the world that rejected him?

¡Semifinales del Mundial y qué partidazo nos depara estemiércoles! Inglaterra contra Argentina, dos gigantes con estiloscompletamente distintos pero con una rivalidad que siempre nos entrega emociones fuertes. En nuestro campo literario, traemos un duelo de dos obrasmaestras que revolucionaron la literatura y la imaginación humana: Por Inglaterra, la novela fundacional de la ciencia ficción moderna escrita por Mary Shelley: “Frankenstein o el moderno Prometeo”. Por Argentina, la obra maestra de Adolfo Bioy Casares: “Lainvención de Morel”. Dos libros que exploran como pocos las consecuencias decrear vida, la soledad del ser y los límites de la ciencia y la ambición humana. Mary Shelley publica “Frankenstein” en 1818, con apenas 20años, y crea uno de los mitos más poderosos de la cultura universal. La historia del doctor Víctor Frankenstein, que consigue dar vida a un ser ensamblado con partes de cadáveres, es mucho más que una historia de terror. Es una profunda reflexión sobre la responsabilidad científica, el rechazo del diferente, la soledad absoluta y las consecuencias de jugar a ser Dios. La criatura, abandonada y despreciada, se convierte en uno de los personajes más trágicos y humanos de la literatura. Shelley escribió esta obra en plena era romántica y durante el surgimiento de la revolución industrial, anticipando los dilemas éticos que aún hoy nos persiguen con la biotecnología y la inteligencia artificial. Adolfo Bioy Casares, en 1940, publica “La invención deMorel”, una novela breve pero absolutamente genial y perfecta en su construcción. Un fugitivo llega a una isla desierta y descubre que está habitada por extraños personajes que repiten sus acciones una y otra vez. BioyCasares, con una prosa elegante, inteligente y llena de suspense, construye una historia de amor imposible, realidad virtual avant-la-lettre y una reflexión filosófica sobre la inmortalidad, la identidad y la naturaleza de la percepción.Borges la consideraba una de las obras más perfectas de la literatura argentina y uno de los mejores argumentos de la ciencia ficción mundial. Es una novela que influyó a autores como Umberto Eco o Philip K. Dick y que sigue sorprendiendo por su modernidad. Una crea vida orgánica y desata un monstruo que representanuestros peores miedos. La otra inventa una máquina que captura la realidad ycondena a la eternidad. Inglaterra y Argentina. Mary Shelley y Adolfo Bioy Casares. Dos formas brillantes de advertirnos sobre los peligros dela ambición humana: el horror romántico frente a la elegancia intelectual argentina. ¿Quién ganará este duelo literario de Semifinales? ¿La creación trágica y monstruosa de Frankenstein o lainvención genial y perturbadora de Morel? Esto promete ser un partido lleno deinteligencia, suspense y momentos inolvidables.

On this episode of the Hayek Program Podcast, Peter Boettke sits down with Kristen Collins for a wide-ranging conversation on Adam Smith's moral philosophy and its intersection with theories of justice, sympathy, and political power. The conversation moves through the relationship between sympathy, moral imagination, and the origins of our sense of justice, drawing on Michelle Schwarze's work on sympathetic resentment, before turning to why economists have historically misread Smith as indifferent to the poor and powerless — despite Smith's own repeated siding with the weak against the powerful. Boettke and Collins also explore Smith's "man of system" passages as a caution against imposing utopian visions by force, discuss Judith Shklar's "liberalism of fear" in relation to Hayek, and close with an extended look at Collins's research on Jeremy Bentham's little-known Sotomion — a proposed institution designed to protect unmarried pregnant women from social shame while preserving their social connections, offering a striking counterpoint to Bentham's more famous Panopticon.Dr. Kristen Collins is a Senior Fellow with the F.A.

For nearly his entire life, Guillermo del Toro dreamed of bringing Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to the screen. In 2025, that dream finally became a reality. In this special episode of Missing Frames, Shawn Eastridge is joined once again by acclaimed comic book writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Infernal Hulk, Batman and Robin, Superman: The Warworld Saga) for an in-depth exploration of Guillermo del Toro's latest effort. Together, they discuss how del Toro's Frankenstein reflects the themes that have defined his entire career and why Mary Shelley's 200-year-old novel continues to inspire artists across generations. Along the way, they dive into the responsibilities of adapting beloved stories, the relationship between creators and their creations, and what separates great storytellers from great craftsmen. Phillip also offers fascinating insights into his own creative process, discussing writer's block and artistic inspiration. He even teases ideas and themes from his highly anticipated Midnight Spider-Man series.

Seguimos la edición de verano hablando de terror, miedo y cultura popular con Desirée de Fez, periodista, crítica de cine y una de las grandes especialistas en fantástico y terror de nuestro país. Autora de Reina del grito y de la reciente novela No la dejes sola, lleva años explorando qué nos asusta y por qué. Hablamos de scream queens, de maternidad, de fantasmas, de cine y de cómo el terror funciona muchas veces como un espejo del momento histórico que vivimos. Porque detrás de los monstruos suelen estar los miedos reales: la violencia, la precariedad, la soledad, el cuerpo o las relaciones familiares. También conversamos sobre el auge actual del género, sobre por qué las mujeres han sido fundamentales en la historia del terror desde Mary Shelley hasta hoy, y sobre esa idea fascinante de que las historias que más miedo dan no siempre ocurren en mansiones encantadas, sino en cocinas, hospitales, estaciones de metro o grupos de WhatsApp familiares.

"Frankenstein o el Moderno Prometeo", o simplemente "Frankenstein" (título original en inglés: Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus), es una obra literaria de la escritora inglesa Mary Shelley. Publicado el 1 de enero de 1818 y enmarcado en la tradición de la novela gótica, el texto habla de temas tales como la moral científica, la creación y destrucción de vida y el atrevimiento de la humanidad en su relación con Dios. De ahí, el subtítulo de la obra: el protagonista intenta rivalizar en poder con Dios, como una suerte de Prometeo moderno que arrebata el fuego sagrado de la vida a la divinidad.

You can find Emily Franklin at www.emilyfranklin.com or on IG at emilyfranklinauthor   At the end of May, we attended a Carmichael's book event featuring author Emily Franklin, who has written numerous books. Her latest titled Love & Other Monsters is about a time in history that most English majors look on with awe and wonder. Her novel is about the summer of 1816 when Mary Shelley, Percy Shelley, Lord Byron and John Polidori traveled to Switzerland and, as the legend goes, told scary stories to each other, which ended up leading to the first vampire story and the book we now know as Frankenstein. But Franklin's novel focuses on a member of the party who doesn't get any acknowledgement—Mary's step-sister Claire Clairemont. Emily did a great job making the Carmichael's audience want to learn more about Claire's story, so we invited her on to share it with our listeners.     And for our book recommendation segment of the show, we are talking Shakespeare, the Bard, the Swan of Avon, Willy Shakes.  Shakespeare is such a touchstone in literature in ways that we don't regularly think about like classic phrases and tropes.  But you don't have to be (or not to be) a Shakespeare scholar to enjoy the books we talk about this week.  We have a historical mystery, witty nonfiction, historical fiction, a memoir, a middle grade novel, and a novel in verse.  All are influenced in some way by Shakespeare's plays or the man himself.     Books Mentioned In This Episode: 1- Love and Other Monsters by Emily Franklin  2- Grandma Joy & Me: A Journey of Healing , One National Park at a Time by Brad Ryan  3- The Humming Room by Ellen Potter  4- The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett  5- Summer of 1816: A World Without Summer by Nicholas Day  6- Frankenstein by Mary Shelley  7- The Vampyre by John Polidori  8- Fearless, Sleepless, Deathless: What Mushrooms Taught Me About Nourishment, Poison, Ecology, Hidden Histories, Zombies, and Black Survival by Maria Pinto 9- Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman 10- Winter Counts by David Heska Wanbly Weiden  11- Wisdom Corner by David Heska Wanbly Weiden  12- A Five Star Read of Fellow Book Lover Joshua  - Devotions by Mary Oliver  13- Daughter of Fair Verona by Christina Dodd  14- Much Ado About Mistletoe by Christina Dodd  15- Shakespeare: The World as a Stage by Bill Bryson  16- By Any Other Name by Jodi Picoult  17- Enter the Body by Joy McCullough  18- Shakespeare: The Man Who Pays the Rent by Judi Dench  19- The Wednesday Wars by Gary D.

"Frankenstein o el Moderno Prometeo", o simplemente "Frankenstein" (título original en inglés: Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus), es una obra literaria de la escritora inglesa Mary Shelley. Publicado el 1 de enero de 1818 y enmarcado en la tradición de la novela gótica, el texto habla de temas tales como la moral científica, la creación y destrucción de vida y el atrevimiento de la humanidad en su relación con Dios. De ahí, el subtítulo de la obra: el protagonista intenta rivalizar en poder con Dios, como una suerte de Prometeo moderno que arrebata el fuego sagrado de la vida a la divinidad.

Jane Healey welcomes bestselling author Emily Franklin to discuss Love and Other Monsters, a novel that reimagines the origins of Frankenstein through the eyes of Claire Clairmont, Mary Shelley's often-overlooked stepsister. Listen as Emily shares the years of research behind the book, from uncovering Claire's letters and journals to exploring the remarkable summer of 1816 when literary history was made on the shores of Lake Geneva. They also talk about how themes of celebrity, power, women's voices, and climate resonate just as strongly today, along with Emily's unique writing process that brought Claire's forgotten story to life.

Have you ever trekked through the Arctic tundra in search of your shitty dad who made you out of corpses? No? Well, either way, Emma and Chloe have the episode for you! Listen in on their discussion about Guillermo del Toro's 2025 adaptation of the Mary Shelley classic Frankenstein for hot takes about giving Victor a tragic backstory, Jacob Elordi actually being a pretty good Creature, and just how Catholic this adaptation really is. Special thank you to Riley Hopkins for helping to edit this episode. Content warnings for Mary Shelley's Frankenstein include: death of a child, death of a loved one, death of a parent, false criminal accusations, a bunch of mental breakdowns, and bringing the dead back to life (he won't tell you how, though). Content warnings for Frankenstein (2025) include: death of a parent, death of a loved one, wolves mauling an old man, death of animals, physical abuse, psychological abuse, and bringing the dead back to life (like, really in detail he will tell you every bit of it).

Marlon and Jake dive into the world of dystopian fiction, unpacking what truly makes a dystopia—and whether some of the genre's biggest ideas hold up under closer scrutiny. Along the way, they discuss why some dystopias feel more believable than others, how our understanding of these stories changes over time, and the real-world parallels that make them resonate long after the final page. Tune in as they explore how history, power, and human nature shape the worlds we imagine.

Hay historias… que sobreviven a sus autores. Historias que atraviesan siglos… para formularnos una pregunta inquietante: ¿Qué ocurre cuando el ser humano desafía los límites de la creación? Un joven obsesionado con el conocimiento. Una ambición que supera la razón. Un experimento imposible. Y una criatura… no nacida del mal… sino del abandono. Este no es solo el relato de un monstruo. Es una historia sobre la soledad. La culpa. El rechazo. La obsesión. Y las consecuencias de jugar a ser Dios. Ven y adéntrate en la obra inmortal que transformó para siempre la literatura gótica y la ciencia ficción: Frankenstein, de Mary Shelley. Porque algunos monstruos… no nacen. Se crean. Y otros… habitan dentro de nosotros. Escucha la historia completa aquí en "La Nebulosa Ecléctica". Cuentos y relatos podcast. Atrévete a mirar más allá de tus propios ojos.

Director James Whale brought Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to the big screen in 1931, and followed it up with classics like The Invisible Man, The Old Dark House, and Bride of Frankenstein. Throughout his Hollywood career, Whale lived as an openly gay man, something quite rare in the '20s and '30s. Along with his horror pictures, Whale directed Remember Last Night?, Show Boat, and The Man in the Iron Mask before retiring from filmmaking in 1942. One of his last major pictures, The Road Back, a sequel to the Great War movie All Quiet on the Western Front, was the victim of studio interference - and Nazi German influence - which contributed to Whale's decision to leave Hollywood. His sexuality, according to contemporaries, was well-known, but "nobody made a thing out of it." However, Whale's later life was marred by health problems leading up to his suicide in 1957 at age 67. Christopher Bram's 1995 novel, Father of Frankenstein, explored what his last days could have been like, with filmmaker Bill Condon penning and directing a 1998 adaptation starring Ian McKellen, Brendan Fraser, and Lynn Redgrave. Condon's script won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, and McKellen and Redgrave were both nominated, but the film failed to attract lightning at the box office.

On a bright July afternoon in 1986, twenty-five-year-old London estate agent Suzy Lamplugh left her office to show a house to a client her diary noted only as "Mr Kipper," and she was never seen again.==========HOUR ONE: It is considered by many, Britain's most well-known disappearing person case. Even now, over three decades later, people in the UK are still fascinated and intrigued by the unexplained vanishing of Suzy Lamplugh. (The Suzy Lamplugh Mystery) *** John List planned the murders of his own family so carefully, he almost got away with it. In fact, it took 18 years to catch him. (The Family Man Who Murdered His Family) *** We'll look at what it was like to be a woman in the 17th Century… and accused of witchcraft. (Witchly Accusations) *** If you drink whiskey, or even if you don't, you're likely familiar with “Jameson Irish Whiskey.” But did you know that cannibalism played a part in its history? (Whiskey and Cannibalism) *** A strange phenomenon takes place in Arkansas, and despite the numerous sightings and investigations, there is still no explanation for it. (Unexplained In Arkansas)==========HOUR TWO: Seeing a lifelike human skeleton in a doctor's office, especially in the past couple of centuries, was – and in many cases still is - commonplace. But where did one go to get such lifelike skeletons if you were a doctor in the 1800s? Why, a skeleton factory, of course! (The Skeleton Factory) *** The story of Kate Watson is a grim one – living as a prostitute in the Old West, and when that wasn't enough she took up cattle rustling. Her husband wasn't any better. So it's probably no surprise that she was strung up until dead. But maybe you should wait to pass judgement until you hear the whole story. (The Lynching of Cattle Kate) *** In March of 2004, teenager Brianna Maitland left work in the late evening hours and was never seen again. To this day it is still one of Vermont's most infamous mysteries. (The Vanishing of Brianna Maitland) *** Plus, “The Haunted Adirondack Mountains”==========SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME: Parents always feel their child is special in some way – something that makes their child better in some way than other children. Parents of indigo children are no different, with some parents thinking their children have psychic abilities. Doctors say that these children have ADD or ADHD, but one parapsychologist says indigo children have something even more special – possibly even paranormal - inside them. (Supernatural Indigo Children) *** When you think of a mad scientist you most likely think of Victor Frankenstein – but it's rumored Mary Shelley took inspiration for the character from a real mad scientist by the name of Andrew Ure. (Andrew Ure: A Real Life Mad Scientist) *** The story of Kate Watson is a grim one – living as a prostitute in the Old West, and when that wasn't enough she took up cattle rustling. Her husband wasn't any better. So it's probably no surprise that she was strung up until dead. But maybe you should wait to pass judgement until you hear the whole story.

The Bagels are back to talk end-of-school reflections, social media tribulations, pop culture and podcast recommendations, and - of course - Jewish representation. Esther talked about her Facebook account being "permanently disabled," affecting her connections with nearly 5,000 friends (read the whole story here), and Erin shared her experience working on a live remote broadcast for the FIFA World Cup. Then the pair got down to processing the latest onslaught of pop culture, with Larry David's take on American history on HBO; Mindy Kaling's latest, Not Suitable for Work; the film Bride!, which was about the Bride of Frankenstein but also about Mary Shelley, who authored the famous monster tale; and the anticipated arrival of Steven Spielberg's latest aliens film. Also in this episode: two odd films from Sacha Baron Cohen, "The Invite," directed by Olivia Wilde and starring Seth Rogen; Anderson Cooper's podcast on grief, featuring Amanda Peet, and a wonderful episode of The Daily, a New York Times podcast, featuring the Broadway show "Every Brilliant Thing," and more!    Check out these links: On The Daily (NYTimes) Amanda Peet "There's No Algorithm for Grief"  with Anderson Cooper The Happiest List on Earth - Every Brilliant Thing Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness - Trailer Stop That Train Trailer

A cold, dark summer in 1816 brought an extraordinary group of young writers together on the shores of Lake Geneva—including an eighteen-year-old Mary Shelley. Andrew Stauffer tells the story of that summer and the conversations, dreams, and climate catastrophe that created Frankenstein's magic. Later in the show: Goliath might be the most famous giant from the Bible, but he's not the only one. Paul Thomas takes us on a deep dive into the monsters of biblical stories. And: Greek and Roman mythology is filled with sea monsters. Georgia Irby explains how ancient relationships with the ocean brought these monsters to life.

Through her multifaceted work, the Bulgarian-born, Brooklyn-based writer, reader, and researcher Maria Popova, founder of the “free, ad-free, A.I.-free, fully human” website and newsletter The Marginalian, braids together literature, science, philosophy, poetry, and art in beautiful, alchemical ways. Traversing centuries, she approaches various ideas and thinkers, living and dead, as active references in the expansive, ongoing project of learning what it means to be human. Now, nearly 20 years since the site's founding, she continues to cultivate a singular space on the internet—one devoted not so much to information but to illumination. Her latest book, Traversal, which links figures such as Mary Shelley and Walt Whitman, alongside other writers, poets, physicists, and philosophers, serves as an intellectual journey and an across-time meditation on creativity, consciousness, and interconnectedness. On this episode of Time Sensitive, Popova discusses the idea of “spiritual ancestors,” why today's A.I. debates are fundamentally modern versions of age-old questions about the soul, and the mystery of being alive.

A forest lookout sits alone in a glass tower at 2AM and spots flames crowning two distant pines — a fire only he can see. By dawn there's no smoke, no ash, no scorched earth... and no fire at all. From phantom flames that burn and vanish to the burned Bigfoot pulled from a Nevada blaze and the UFOs caught streaking through wildfire smoke, tonight we wander into the strange and unsettling things that appear when the forests burn.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/ghostflamesREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yjwtx7awFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: The author of Frankenstein always saw love and death as connected.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March, 2021Weird Darkness opens a fire-themed descent that runs from a vanished forest blaze in 1976 Idaho through ghosts, Bigfoot, and UFOs born of wildfires, into Mary Shelley's graveyard education, a gentle apartment haunting, and an unsolved 1886 Boston murder.It opens with a U.S. Forest Service lookout stationed atop Pilot Peak in the Payette National Forest near Warren, high above the South Fork of the Salmon River, who woke sleepless at two a.m. in July 1976 and saw a bright orange triangle near a distant crest, then confirmed through binoculars two huge trees crowning out with flame. He calculated an azimuth with his fire-finder, radioed a two- to four-acre fire to the station fifteen air miles away, and watched it recede and vanish completely within forty minutes, leaving no smoke, no flame, and no charred ground at dawn six air miles out. Supervisors dubbed it the Pilot Peak phantom fire and sent smokejumper aircraft and hotshot crews to circle the ridge for nearly a week without finding a trace, until two months later a thousand-acre blaze on Zena Creek burned in roughly the same location he had reported.From there the episode widens into wildfires laced with the paranormal, beginning with the Curve Fire that struck South Mount Hawkins in the San Gabriel Mountains of California's Angeles National Forest on September 1, 2002, traced to a brittle 1935 wooden lookout tower and rumored to follow a cult ritual, after which hikers reported eyeless animals with hardened flesh and tall shadow figures akin to the Dark Watchers. It moves to the Battle Mountain Complex Fire near Battle Mountain, Nevada on August 6, 1999, where a letter forwarded to the Bigfoot Field Research Organization and a later call to investigator Thom Powell described firefighters capturing a burned, roughly seven-and-a-half-foot creature with a strong equine odor and near-human features. It closes with a July 2014 wildfire at West Kelowna near Vancouver, Canada, where a Castanet news video appeared to show an object shooting from a cloud, and a 2017 sighting by Arthur Frenette in New Hampshire's White Mountains, who watched a ball of fire plunge into Kinsman Ridge ahead of an out-of-control blaze.Next the episode turns to Mary Shelley, who in her 1831 introduction to Frankenstein traced her writing to her literary parents, though her mother, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman author Mary Wollstonecraft, died of puerperal fever days after her birth when Dr. Poignand removed the placenta with unwashed hands. Raised partly at her mother's grave in the St. Pancras churchyard, where she read her mother's work and escaped a strained home after father William Godwin remarried, the teenage Mary met Percy Shelley through the household and, at sixteen, declared love and reportedly first had sex among the tombstones. That fusion of reading, death, and forbidden knowledge surfaces in Victor Frankenstein's graveyard study of decay and in Godwin's 1809 Essay on Sepulchres, which framed visiting the illustrious dead as a form of communion the daughter carried into her novel of a creature assembled from corpses.From there the tone softens with a benign haunting recounted by a woman named Cassie, who moved into a larger, better-kept apartment over Christmas 2018 and lived there three months before moving in with her boyfriend. The internet blinked off repeatedly, cell reception failed in parts of the unit, electrical sockets quit working, bulbs burned out fast, and the shower switched itself on while she was away at classes. One night around one a.m. she and her boyfriend both heard the pitter-patter of bare feet in the kitchen, yet she never felt threatened, and when she left she said goodbye to whatever shared the space with her.The episode closes with the Wash-House Murder, the July 1886 killing of a Chinese laundryman found stabbed fourteen times in his Shawmut Avenue laundry in Boston's South End, his braided queue cut off and the five hundred dollars he had saved for a return to China gone. The victim's name was never certain, printed variously as Bin Chong, Ding Chong, and Wong Kong, and the case drew the Boston Police into a Chinatown governed by rival companies named Moy, Ching, Lee, and Sing. Detectives questioned the violent Moy company leader Ah Moy Chong and brought in New York interpreter Warry S. Charles, but the murder was never solved, and Charles himself was convicted of first-degree murder in 1908 after importing hatchet-armed assassins as a tong leader, leaving four dead in Chinatown.

Back in 1818, the same year *Frankenstein* hit the shelves, a Scottish professor named Andrew Ure decided to see if electricity could actually bring a dead body back to life—so he hooked up a freshly executed murderer to a current and watched in fascination as the corpse twitched, "breathed," and even made terrifying expressions that sent witnesses into a panic.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources and full transcript): https://weirddarkness.com/AndrewUreREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/58czndx7FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: In 1800s numerous scientists were trying to find the reason for life in the hopes of staving off death or even bringing the recently dead back to life. But in 1818 one scientist named Andrew Ure attempted to do even more – to bring the brain of dead human back into the living. And ironically, his experiments took place the very same year the novel “Frankenstein” was published. (The Real-Life Dr. Frankenstein) *** They say the family that plays together stays together… but does that also mean that the family that crimes together does time together? We'll look at a few true cases of parents committing crimes – and getting help from their children in doing so. (The Family That Preys Together) *** A hunter comes across a wild man in the woods… but what he hears from the humanoid doesn't sound like a man at all. (The Man I Saw Through My Night Vision Scope) *** What would you do if you showed up to work one morning and your employer asked you to help dispose of a dead body? Don't be so quick to say that would never happen. That's just one part of the story of one of the most notorious crimes of 19th century America – the murder of John Parkman. (Dr. Coolidge Settles a Debt) *** Skipping church to go fishing might get you more than just a guilty conscience – especially if you believe the strange story of the Lambton Worm.

Welcome to Episode 261! It looks like our first quarter readalong title, FRANKENSTEIN by Mary Shelley, has not lost its grip on us. We both finally watched and in this episode discuss The Bride!, written and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal. Wow. It is a wild ride of a movie and, much like the original novel, not for the faint of heart. Emily watched Remarkably Bright Creatures, based on the novel of the same name by Shelby Van Pelt, and Chris saw The Devil Wears Prada 2, inspired by the novels by Lauren Weisberger What a great year for page-to-screen adaptations 2026 is shaping up to be! Two forthcoming adaptations that we're looking forward to are a mini-series of East of Eden by John Steinbeck and a series called Anna Pigeon based on Nevada Barr's series that starts with TRACK OF THE CAT. Books we've Just Read include FIVE by Ilona Bannister, FROM POTTERS FIELD: Scarpetta #6 by Patricia Cornwell, and THE ACCIDENTAL TOURIST by Anne Tyler. It is now officially #BigBookSummer, and we're ready to dive into some books that are 400+ pages. Emily plans on starting with the BEARTOWN trilogy by Fredrik Backman, and Chris's first big book will be 11/22/63 by Stephen King. We'd love to hear about your summer reading plans. Leave a comment or send us an email (hello@bookcougars.com). Happy Listening and Happy Reading! https://www.bookcougars.com/blog-1/2026/episode261
