Preorder HereAt Dark, I Have HopeIt may seem like a contradiction that someone who can write such brutal things is such a lovely and sweet human being, but I think that in this episode, we tapped into a possible reason that it's not a contradiction at all that Eric Larocca will destroy you with the most stark and frightful words, and smother you with happy thoughts when you talk to him. The truth is, we all have these dark, extreme thoughts in our minds. We have all been driving down the road and envisioning that moment where we intentionally swerve into oncoming traffic to disastrous results. It lives in all of us, these intrusive thoughts. It's what we do with those thoughts that speaks to our character. And I'd argue that it's terrifically healthy to take these thoughts that we all have, and to have a discussion about them, or to cause ourselves or others to think about them, and to understand them, and to process them. So, while a story like this book tells isn't necessarily for everyone all the time, it's a crucial story to be told, and nobody is doing it better than Eric does. And while we originally planned to talk about a book with a plot about a character that performs live burial rituals to give hopeless people a chance at rebirth, what we ended up talking about was far more human, and far more healing, and it was still about this book, because I think at the heart of this story is someone who hurts so much and cannot conceive of anything other than the weight of his own misery. High Praise for Subtle GiantsEric dedicated this novel to Daniel Kraus, and we started the episode talking about that. I love how Daniel has had such a positive impact on Eric's career and Eric as a person. I share my observation about Daniel, which is that he casts a far bigger shadow than his humble shape suggests. So if you don't know much about Mr. Kraus, I suggest you start researching. I particularly enjoyed Whalefall (read it, then listen to my interview with Daniel HERE), but he's written dozens of books including two posthumously finished coauthorings with George freakin Romero. Coming SoonI had a small panic attack today as I was corresponding with folks, and just kept replying to emails. And kept replying. And kept replying. Suddenly, I feel quite busy as a podcaster. You can count on a discussion soon with Craig Clevenger about his reissue of THE CONTORTIONIST'S HANDBOOK. Other authors in the next few months include: Chris Panatier, Sam Rebelein, Chuck Wendig, the folks from PUNKS GOES HORROR anthology.I'm also having conversations about featuring Jon Bassoff, Cynthia Pelayo, and also having Jesse and Greg back on for more Stephen Graham Jones talk! So, lots in the works that hopefully will be reaching you soon. For you YouTube folks: This is a public episode.

Welcome to the Peculiar Movie Club, a bonus podcast linked to our main show the Peculiar Book Club through common themes in media.  This week, in honor of the book Whalefall, we are discussing the greatest tale of Whales ever told, the classic Moby Dick. Join Davey Berris and Darren Cross as we take a deep dive into this classic tale of temptation, obsession, was Gregory Peck right for the role of Ahab (he didn't think so), and what are our white whales.

Just imagine for a moment—you are swimming in the cold dark of the Pacific Ocean, trying to find the lost remains of your father. But you aren't alone. There are shapes moving in the gloom, great, dark shapes. Shapes with mouths. That's what happens to Jay Gardiner in the latest novel by award winning author (and collaborator with Guillermo del Toro) Daniel Kraus. Caught first by a giant squid, then swallowed whole by a Sperm whale, Jay has one hour to get out alive. If he can get out of his own head, first. The thing is, If you were swallowed by a whale… it would be a VERY big GULP. And you know who can tell us about gulps, right? Mary Roach. Because on tonight's special VIP edition of Authors Hosting Authors, Mary will talk to Daniel about the ins and outs of being, well, in—and out. Because while the story might be fiction, the trial of our protagonist is based in scientific FACT. Join us for a wild night and learn the best possible escape routes out of an 80 ft, 60 ton whale. You never know when that will come in handy! Episode was recorded live July 25, 2024.

Two wonderful books on this episode. First up we hear from Elizabeth O' Connor about her incredible debut novel Whalefall. Set on a remote island off the coast of Wales in the run up to World War Two it is a story that maps the tension between home and the hope that exists in a young heart for a life of their own. We loved this book, the island is as wild & windswept as you'd want and the themes of imposition and the violence of 'progress' felt so timely. Do look it out, it's brilliant.Kevin Barry needs little introduction. Booker long-listed author of Irish number 1 best seller Night Boat to Tangiers, The Heart in Winter is his fourth novel and is as much fun as you'd expect. Set in 1891, Butte Montana it follows the thunderbolt love affair of Tom Rourke and Polly Gillespie. If stolen horses, psychedelics, badlands, and a posse of deranged Cornish gunmen are your thing (and they are ours) then you're going to love this.Whalefall is published by Picador and is available nowThe Heart in Winter is published by Canongate on June 6thHuge thanks to Huw Marc Bennett, Ian Hawgood & Nathan Salzburg for their use of their incredible music. Why not subscribe to and support  Field -  @ www.patreon.com/fieldzine@fieldzine /www.fieldzine.com

Jay, the 17-year-old at the heart of Daniel Kraus' novel Whalefall, has an hour of oxygen left on his tank. He's been diving in the ocean off the coast of Monterey, California trying to recover a skeleton — but his mission is complicated when he's swallowed whole by a sperm whale. In today's episode, Kraus speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about how a book that's so enmeshed in death also reveals quite a lot about life, and how he conceptualized the pacing of his chapters to emphasize Jay's race against time.

Jay hopes to redeem himself by diving to recover his father's remains in the ocean off the California coast; instead he is swallowed whole by a whale. It is in the whale's dark belly that Jay finally begins to reconcile with his father and understand the lessons he'd been trying to pass on. The book is not just a page-turning thriller but a deep meditation on fathers, sons and loss.

An olde tyme friend visits us. We have a chatabout. We each section one another for crimes against comedy/humanity. We vent spleens about Israel etc. We digress, digressively. Who will be possibly the next Pointless/Demagogical Mayoral-King-Duke of the USofA?  We talk some news of the weird. Australia gets America's wang transplanted upon it. A duo of idiots pretends to kidnap themselves-ish. Neo-Nazis collect insects for the sake of the Fuhrer (also, cars of the same entomological genus are collected, similarily). We talk Artifical Intellgience, Cronenbergian porn of the weird, and its ascending trajectory. We talk. Talk some more. Jason dazzles us with some tales from r/LinkedInLunatics. I, the Josh voice, forcefully and impassionately recommend that you read and/or at least listen to Whalefall, because it's mind/body/soul-bogglingly great. We sign off. We "We" ourselves into inanimate pulp and continue the life-cycle, waving goodbye for eternity. Also, there's some conversation between Tim and Jason about the wide world of professional wrestling hidden-tracked after the outro.

The first chapter can make or break a reader's engagement with a story. We as writers must craft brilliant opening pages in order to hook those picky readers, so let's study the stories of others to see how they do it! Firstly, I apologize for that two-month break, fellow creatives. Blondie broke her leg a couple of days after my August podcast, and it's been a whirlwind of doctor and therapist visits since then. Now that we're finally finding a new rhythm with school and recovery, I can return to my library's New Release shelf to see what's happening! And Blondie helped me pick this one, too.

Daniel Kraus is an American author. His latest book is Whalefall. Out now!

Räkna inte ut undulater eller svårbegripliga författare. Och inte heller djuphavsfiskarna som kan vänta i evigheter på en fallande val. Aase Berg berättar om livet i mörkret. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Den här tidsåldern heter inte Antropocen. Den heter Narkissocen. Förr var det onda gudar som ställde till naturkatastrofer, nu tar vi själva på oss ansvaret för undergången. Det är hybris, och klimatskammen är en sorts humble bragging.Den dolda bekräftelsehungern är mycket mer fascinerande än den öppna. Ett introvert beteende till exempel, det kan maskera ett sammanbitet storhetsvansinne, så grandiost att man inte bevärdigar populasen med en blick. Att varken gud eller instagram hyllar min existens beror bara på att jag själv har valt att leva i en bortglömd biotop.Det här gäller till exempel oss författare som inte fixar att vara sådär skamlöst kommersiella som de massproducerande populärförfattarna är. Vi som gör oväntade språkliga grejer ibland och skriver sånt som inte kan efterapas av en AI. Vi får sällan några belöningar, är nästan alltid panka, och när vi av misstag råkar stöta ihop med varandra i det asociala grumlet pratar vi bara om pengar. Vi kallas för kultureliten, men påminner mer om djuphavsfiskar, de där som lever på en nattsvart havsbotten som gud glömde. Där ligger vi och lurpassar med gungande lanternor i antennerna och väntar på ett stipendium. Förr eller senare inträffar kanske underverket som kallas whalefall, det vill säga att det sjunker ner en död val. Eller åtminstone en Pripps blå. Besvärjelse: ”Plötsligt händer det!”Det är bara det att det gör det inte.Nej, när nånting plötsligt händer är det oftast skitdåligt. Plötsligt kommer en pandemi. Plötsligt pajar tvättmaskinen. Plötsligt befinner man sig mitt i en snöstorm i Gävle. Det är sällan man får vara med om ett whalefall i människolivet. Snarare tvärtom. Oftast är det man själv som är den döda valen.Osynliga kvalitetsförfattare hamnar längst ner i gruvan, i den djupaste djuphavsgraven, i näringskedjans bottenslam och ekosystemens yttersta avkrok. Vi är typ vattenlik, och förlagen och bokbranschen tar stora tuggor av vårt svampiga kött. Vi har det ungefär som Vedius Pollios slavar i romarriket. Pollio gillade nämligen muränor, de där ålliknande monstren med stickig blick som utstrålar tom ondska. I den vackra boken ”Vattenvarelser” från 2021 skriver Jacob Christensson att Pollio ”i omsorgen om sina muränor inte ens /lär/ ha dragit sig för att utfodra dem med slavar”. Christensson skriver också om jättesköldpaddornas vidriga öde i klorna på sjöfarare. Djuren placerades upp- och ner på fartygsdäcken och kunde leva i veckor utan att minska nämnvärt i vikt innan de svalt ihjäl. De var rika på både protein och C-vitamin och motverkade skörbjugg. Jag ser framför mig hur de väldiga, värdiga djuren ligger på rygg och dör en långsam död i stekande sol för att bidra till upptäckarnas rovdrift. Själv vill jag varken ätas eller äta. Jag vill varken dölja mig eller bli beundrad. Jag vill inte kriga om vem som ska ha mest fiskmat. Jag vill ha något fräschare än olika nivåer av förnedring eller makt. I Narkissocens hierarkier är osynlighet lika med förnedring. Makten ligger i stjärnglansen.Jag sätter mitt hopp till djurvärlden. Där finns det gott om livsformer som har en helt annan attityd, som är totalt far out och fattar noll av de antropocentriska motivationssystemen. Till exempel just valar.I boken ”Att prata val” skriver Tom Mustill om valforskningens framväxt, och om försök att kommunicera med valar genom AI, men först redogör han för människans massutrotning av de mäktiga djuren. Det var faktiskt så sent som i slutet av 1900-talet som valjakten trappades ner, främst för att det fanns så få valar kvar att de blev svåra att hitta. Men innan dess hann man nästan utrota exempelvis blåvalen. ”Det är svårt att ta in denna globala hetsjakt”, skriver Mustill, ”vars motsvarighet skulle vara att man dödade alla på hela jorden utom Bulgariens invånare”.Sen citerar han Arthur C Clarke: ”Vi känner inte till den sanna naturen av det vi förstör.” Men går det att förstå valarnas sanna natur? Ställer vi ens rätt frågor?Enligt Mustill tror forskarna att valarnas klickljud är ett slags morsekod. Man kan förledas att tro att det går att avkoda med hjälp av AI. Men hur ska en AI kunna härbärgera de filosofiska djupen i mötet? Även om språket inte vore extremt avancerat, så skulle valarna ändå att prata om en värld vi inte kan föreställa oss, ur sinnen vi inte trodde fanns. De lever t ex i ständigt mörker, och använder ljud som omvandlas till visuella bilder. Det är som när man ska förklara hundarnas luktsinne: de ser med lukten eller hörseln.Eller är det bara oförmågan att föreställa sig något annat än ett bildtänkande som gör att forskningen drar denna slutsats? En ljudkarta utan bilder inblandade borde väl funka lika bra om man är en ljudvarelse och lever i en värld av mörker och sång.Nej, att tro att man kan prata med valar med hjälp av AI är tyvärr lika korkat som att tro att man kan prata med sina djur via medium. Ta bara exemplet med djurviskare: när de översätter till exempel hundars budskap brukar det oftast röra sig om saker som ”Jag vill ha en kompis” eller ”Jag är sugen på kyckling”.VILL folk att deras husdjur ska framstå som själsgrunda idioter? Om någon ska förmedla vad mina djur vill säga – just nu visserligen bara två undulater och jag tvivlar på att nån kvacksalvare har kommit på tanken att specialisera sig på den arten – så vill jag höra poetiskt nyanserade beskrivningar av deras fantastiska ljudvärld, varför de skriker högt av glädje när diskmaskinen drar igång, varför de älskar zombieserier på teve, och jag vill veta allt om de magiska färgerna de ser – de har ju syn för en helt annan färgskala. Det jag inte vill är att betala tusen spänn till nån narcissistisk auratomte för att få höra är att mina fåglar är sugna på hirskolvar.Men vänta – nu märker jag att jag använde ett förringande språkbruk om mina fina fåglar, jag sa att jag bara har undulater, som om jag omedvetet anslöt mig till synen att de tillhör bottenskrapet i husdjurens hierarki. Som om det till exempel vore coolare att ha en grå jako, som är mer människolik eftersom den är bättre på att härmas. Å andra sidan ska man inte underskatta bottenskrapet. Varken undulater eller svårbegripliga författare. Glöm inte hur det gick för ubåten Titan, som skulle dyka efter fartyget Titanic. Äntligen! ropade djuphavsfiskarna när ubåten sjönk. Whalefall!Det var inte precis några panka poeter som imploderade i plåtskorven. Så kan det gå även om man har så mycket makt och pengar att man kan katastrofturista bland vraken. Det finns trots allt fördelar med att vara en genomskinlig slemkropp som livnär sig på resterna från ovan. Lågstatusvarelser är härdade, allt de har är sin egen pragmatiska överlevnadskonst. Så till skillnad från maktmiljonärer i ubåtar hopsnickrade av hybris står djuphavsfiskarna faktiskt på riktigt pall för trycket.Aase Berg, författare och kritiker

Signed bookplate Pre-order offer from Simon & SchusterPERSONALIZED signed pre-order offer from Exile in Bookville (When you order via Exile in Bookville, when you see a ‘notes' field, type in who you want the book to be signed to)Get a bunch of Daniel's books on my curated list at BookshopAfter totally losing all information about what day and time it was supposed to happen, I eventually managed to get my act together, use a website contact form, and reconnect and plan out this episode, in which Daniel Kraus joined me to talk a bit about his upcoming book WHALEFALL. Having authors on who have huge CVs of impressive titles is always intimidating, and when you fuck up the process of getting together, that intimidation multiplies. However, Daniel was super chill, and very kind, and I had a great hour talking with him about Whales, father/son relationships, and how there's a whole world underwater that most of us have no knowledge of. WHALEFALL is an intense, white knuckle adventure - through a whale in a literal sense, and through grief, reconciliation, and forgiveness in a metaphorical sense. It's fast-paced, entertaining, scary, and will challenge you about what's really important in life. Of the 20-ish books I've read this year, I'd say it's on top of my “can't miss” list.I hope you enjoy the episode, pre-order the book, and make sure to find Daniel on his upcoming book tour!

Independent Bookstore Day is over, and we have thoughts. It was great, but it could have been better (this leads to a long conversation on why we need new art, if we do, and a discussion of Hannah's new favorite book "Chain-Gang All-Stars," which is better than "The Hunger Games," for lots of reasons). Then we talk about Hannah's coming-of-age-novel panel from the Newburyport Literary Festival (sex! Going through trials!), before moving into the books we've read: "Whalefall," by Daniel Kraus (out in August, not as good as the Mario movie); Peter Orner's "Still No Word from You" (headliner at Newburyport, where Andre Dubus wasn't sure he'd met Hannah before, but he has); Emily Henry's "Happy Place" (so comforting); "Game of Edges," by Bruce Schoenfeld (it makes Sam sad); Jo Nesbo's "Macbeth" (Scandinavian cops hold themselves to a higher standard); and "The Midnight News," by Jo Baker (another WW2 book!). Oh, and there's a bit on audiobook narrators and how they get paid. Huge number of books discussed this week.

Just your standard news: Skull and Bones is still alive, The Batman, James T. Kirk recast, George RR Martin still hasn't finished the winds of winter. You know standard fare.

July 13, 2021--Bob Spies and Tim Bray talk with Dr. Craig Smith of the University of Hawaii, who has been studying the phenomenon of "whalefall" - when a whale carcass sinks to the bottom of the deep blue sea. Whales are the largest animals on Earth. What happens when one dies? In the cold, dark regions of the deep sea floor, a whale carcass is a bonanza of nutrition and energy, supporting a complex and surprisingly long-lived ecosystem.

Also, if James Cameron is listening, please check out this cool deep-water ecosystem called a Whalefall. You can listen to Trisha's song for inspiration!
