Los zombies nos visitan otra vez, el cómic titulado en España por Planeta de Agostini LOS MUERTOS VIVIENTES, originalmente THE WALKING DEAD, más popular entre los fans gracias a la serie de televisión que ha respetado ese título, será analizado a conciencia por nuestro invitado Diego Matos, autor del libro The Walking Dead: Caminando entre los Muertos. La entrevista correrá a cargo del miembro de nuestro equipo Raúl Martin. Por supuesto, gran parte del dossier estará enfocado a profundizar en el cómic escrito por Robert Kirkman, pero también dedicaremos unos minutos a hablar sobre esa serie televisiva que tiene a toda la audiencia dividida en grupos a favor y grupos en contra. Después analizaremos en nuestro apartado “Fase Final”, junto a Gref y Seth, compañeros del podcast amigo Afrikitown, la saga de videojuegos UNCHARTED, protagonizada por el intrépido Nathan Drake. Exploraremos cada rincón de esas tres entregas que conforman una de las trilogías más completas de la nueva generación de consolas. Llegará después a nuestra sección “La Voz del César” CRYING FREEMAN: Los Paraísos Perdidos, protagonizada por Mark Dacascos y dirigida por Christophe Gans, una película de culto que nos narra la relación de amor que surge entre una bella pintora y un asesino implacable y mítico que trabaja para una organización china misteriosa. Cerraremos el programa con nuestro rincón literario “Negro Sobre Blanco”, donde junto a nuestro Coronel Kurtz analizaremos la novela de Susanna Clarke, JONATHAN STRANGE Y EL SEÑOR NORRELL, una historia de magos del siglo XIX en una Europa agitada por las guerras napoleónicas. Los oyentes tendrán su gran momento justo antes de la despedida de un programa típico de LODE donde os zombificaremos, os aventuraremos, os asesinaremos y os hechizaremos sin remedio.

In the week that the world changed, we're talking about the last time things got this crazy.   Katherine Arden is the author of The Warm Hands of Ghosts — a novel set in the trenches of the First World War and on the borderline between horror and fantasy. It's a Faustian pact made in No-Man's Land, where our memories are the price we pay for keeping ourselves alive.   In this episode we talk a lot about history, about inflection points and moments of no-return. We talk about how systems of power can seem so complex that they lead only to ruin – but we also talk devils and fairies and angels and brave, brave nurses with scarred hands.   It's a joy of a conversation, about the most hideous time to be alive.   Enjoy!   Other books mentioned:   The Bear and the Nightingale (2017), by Katherine Arden The Buffalo Hunter Hunter (2025), by Stephen Graham Jones Wasteland: The Great War and the Origin of Modern Horror (2018), by W.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Susanna Clarke: “Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.” Susanna Clarke in 2006 Susanna Clarke, author of the classic fantasy novel, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, interviewed September 12, 2005 in the KPFA studios. ​​​​​Back in the fall of 2004, a new fantasy novel, Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell by a newcomer, Susannah Clarke, became an instant classic, finding its way to best-seller lists in the U.K. and United.States, and winning the Hugo Award for 2004's best novel at the 2005  World Science Fiction Convention. This interview with Susannah Clarke was recorded while on tour for the paperback edition of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, and has not aired in two decades. Both Christopher Hampton and Julian Fellowes took stabs at writing a film adaptation of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, but both were unable to translate the very long novel into a screenplay, and then New Line cancelled the project. It was eventually developed into a seven -part miniseries for the BBC, and aired in both the United States and Britain in 2015. It is now streaming on Amazon Prime. After the publication of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell, and the awards, Susannah Clarke continued to work on the sequel, set in the same universe a few years later, but became bogged down, almost sentence by sentence, as chronic fatigue syndrome took its toll. By 2015, after visiting the set of the BBC production, she decided to go another route, and went back to another manuscript that likely pre-dated her best-seller. That novel, Piranesi, was published to mostly favorable reviews in 2020. She is now working on a third novel. Complete Interview.   Dawn Porter Dawn Porter, documentary filmmaker, in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky, recorded September 11, 2023. Dawn Porter's work has appeared on ESPN, HBO, Netflix, PBS and other streamers. Her film Trapped, focusing on abortion clinics in the South, won a special prize at Sundance in 2016 along with a Peabody Award. Her 2013 documentary, Gideon's Army, her first film, focusing on public defender attorneys in the South, is now part of the US Deparment of State's American Film Showcase. She is also the director of John Lewis: Good Trouble, which focuses on the late Congressman and activist. Her recent projects are The Lady Bird Diaries, which was shown at SXSW Film Festival and the four part documentary series, Deadlocked: How America Shaped the Supreme Court, both of which can be found streaming on various platforms. Other recent projects include the short film Bree Wayy, about the life of Brionna Taylor, Luther: Never Too Much, about the late singer/songwriter Luther Vandross, and The Sing Sing Chronicles, about men wrongly incarcerated in Sing Sing prison.

"Let the red dawn surmise / What we shall do, / When the blue starlight dies / And all is through." This short poem, an epigraph to "The Yellow Sign," arguably the most memorable tale in Robert W. Chambers' 1895 collection The King in Yellow, encapsulates in four brief lines the affect that drives cosmic horror: the fearful sense of imminent annihilation. In the four stories JF and Phil discuss in this episode, this affect, which would inspire a thousand works of fiction in the twentieth century, emerges fully formed, dripping with the xanthous milk of Decadence. What's more, it is here given a symbol, a face, and a home in the Yellow Sign, the Pallid Mask of the Yellow King, and the lost land of Carcosa. Come one, come all.
