In the first segment Jordy sits down to discuss the Jane Wunderly mystery series. This cozy yet suspenseful series is perfect for anyone looking for a spooky season recommendation that won't leave you with nightmares. If you're an Agatha Christie fan, this is for you.  Then, Mariquita talks with Lisa Kröger and Melanie R. Anderson about their new book, Toil & Trouble: A Women's History of the Occult, which explores the roles women and non-binary people have historically played in the occult. They touch on how to respectfully uplift cultural practices without appropriating them, why it is necessary to expand beyond womb-centric language, and what might have been happening in the White House during the Satanic Panic of the 1980s.  Books mentioned by Jordy:  Murder at the Mena House by Erica Ruth Neubauer Murder at Wedgefield Manor by Erica Ruth Neubauer Danger on the Atlantic by Erica Ruth Neubauer   Books and Media mentioned by Mariquita, Lisa, and Melanie:  Toil & Trouble: A Women's History of the Occult Spectrality in the Novels of Toni Morrison by Melanie R.

Jason Heller of National Public Radio calls it "indelible" and says that the "sheer, skin-crawling fright is masterful."  Available in bookstores nationwide and Amazon.

Lisa is a writer who lives on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, where she enjoys a life of reading, writing, and scaring the wits out of her husband, who doesn’t fully understand her love for all things horror. Sometimes she uses her Ph.D. in Gothic literature to teach, but mostly she uses it to write horror stories–and to raise two of her own little monsters, her sons. Melanie holds a Ph.D. in American Literature from the University of Mississippi. She is an assistant professor of English at Delta State University in Cleveland, MS, where she teaches courses in American literature. She researches and writes about the American Gothic and supernatural literature (with occasional forays into pop culture).

This is one of our most rowdy chats yet, with so many laugh out loud moments!

If you ask a random reader to name foundational women horror writers, you might get two or three names. Mary Shelley. Shirley Jackson. Maybe Daphne du Maurier or Anne Rice. But as Lisa Kroger and Melanie R. Anderson point out in their new book, Monster, She Wrote: The Women Who Pioneered Horror & Speculative Fiction, if that's where our knowledge begins and ends, we're missing out on a lot. Eli Colter, who wrote, amongst other things, weird westerns. C.L. Moore who helped introduce swashbuckling rebels into the sci-fi canon. Angela Carter's re-imagining of folk tales. There are also works of literary fiction we might not put in the horror genre, like Toni Morrison's Beloved.    Kroger and Anderson give readers a primer on women writers whose work you may have missed, and puts it in a historical context. You can learn about the origins of the gothic story, the influence of spiritualism in writing and pop culture, how writers supported their families with their short works, a bit about pulp magazines like Weird Tales, and even how one writer put together a group of mystics (or mystic-adjacents) to help guard the coast of England during World War II. But beware – Monster, She Wrote is likely to add considerable height to your reading pile.    A note about the sound quality – we tried to do this interview with Skype, but it kept cutting out. So we had to do it the old fashioned way, the way I started recording interviews in the last century, on speaker phone with a recorder. I've sweetened it up a bit through some plug-in magic, but you'll notice the switch a few minutes in.   Monster, She Wrote is out now from Quirk Books and you can find out more about it at www.quirkbooks.com or wherever you get wonderful books. You can also keep track of Lisa Kroger's work at www.lisakroger.com and Melanie R. Anderson at www.melanieranderson.com. The Know Fear Podcast is at www.knowfearcast.com, and on Twitter under @knowfearcast.    This week's featured track from the new Best of Boston Stand-Up, Volume 1. Boston has a long and fine tradition of stand-up comedy, and this album is a good introduction to some of the funniest comedians you can see regularly around town. Veterans like Steve Sweeney, Don Gavin, Tony V., Kenny Rogerson, and Jimmy Dunn; more recent headliners like Kelly MacFarland, Will Noonan, Dan Crohn, Christine Hurley, and Corey Rodrigues, who you are about to hear.    This is a bit about Rodrigues going out for a day at the beach, and the reaction he got when he tried to put on sunscreen. I won't give away too much, but Rodrigues is black, and the audience at this taping was mostly white. That allowed Rodrigues to have a little fun with their expectations partway through the story. Look for more of Rodrigues's stuff on the Dry Bar Comedy YouTube channel, and find his album, My Turn, on Apple Music and Google Play. His Web site is www.coreyrodrigues.com.
