Cannibal Cop Scares Us!

Welcome back, scaredy cats!  We recorded in January, but our wrath is still relevant!  We're talking about all kinds of fun scat, including my 40th birthday party in HAWAII!!!!  Here, to begin, are some whales we saw:

And the awesome edition of Gaywyck that I found at an awesome used bookstore in Lahaina -- I'd heard of it before, and now I can read it for myself!

This cover (above) is the edition that I purchased (and I will read it!) ...

... but I dig this edition as well!  It's always been my theory that if something I want to read doesn't exist, then I'll just right it m'own damn self.  Which apparently is a philosophy that Mr. Virga embraced as well.  THE FIRST GAY GOTHIC ... how ballah is that?!?

My first published play!  Get it here!

And The Gorgon Sisters!  Get it here!

And Dracula!  Buy it here!

It's back!  Our first hit single!  Sing it with me now:

birds Birds BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS BIRDS!!! 

The attack of the crows over Amy and Aaron's house!!!  They tend to amass in the trees over yonder at sunset ... a whole giant murder of the bastards. Check out the House Party episode to experience the awesomeness that is Amy and Aaron.

And now ... for tonight's topic ... Gillberto Valle, THE CANNIBAL COP!!!

Keep it classy, New York Post.

This is the kind of thing I found when I was doing photo research on our fiend, er, friend, Mr. Valle:

 The amazing advertisement that my husband made for this episode:

Here's this muthafuckah's novel:

THROW.  AWAY.  THE DAMNED KEY.

Stephen King's The Outsider.  Not for the faint of heart.  Go to.

Frankenstein Among the Dead Scares Us!

How cool are these cards Theatrefolk sent me to advertise my first published play, Frankenstein Among the Dead?  (Click on the title to buy a copy of your very own!)  And click here to listen to the episode where Katya and I dissect all that is Frankenstein-y!

Recording This Weekend ...

To celebrate (and promote) the publication of my first play, Frankenstein Among the Dead, we'll be focusing on one of the many Frankensteins out there (and the monster too!).

Monsters Scare Us!

In a recent episode (and I can't remember which one exactly; you should just go back and listen to them all!  Again!) but in a recent episode I referenced the Crestwood House monster books; if you were a child of the 70s/80s, you probably remember them:  your library had them, they were orange and black, and they sported a scandalized looking King Kong on their backs.  Like this:

Isn't he a looker?

Anyway, I checked out The Wolfman and Dracula the most frequently (from multiple libraries; at the time, it seemed that every little town in Eastern Montana had 'em); it was The Wolfman that scared me so badly that my parents gave me a silver pen to sleep with to protect me.  I'm going to assume it worked, since I have yet to be attacked by a werewolf.  I guess it only takes on time, though, doesn't it.

The first few pages, starting with Oliver Reed from Curse of the Werewolf ...

And then this description, which terrified me, and recurs whenever I think of the full moon in autumn ...

And the photo that sent me -- ahem -- howling for that silver pen.

And you should follow Kong's advice ...

When I think of Dracula, this is the first thing that comes to mind.  Always.

And finally, a little teaser for the big news that I'll be revealing in a future episode ...
